The Illusionist

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2006)

Edward Norton is amazing. What a wonderful, wonderful actor. I also loved the fantastic art direction. The music is incredible. The story is somewhat implausible, but who cares when you have so much else going on. I loved being taken back to that time in a different world and seeing two souls connect again after a very long absence. What really got to me first of all was the performance of Edward Norton. He is incredible. Then I loved the transformation of Paul Giamatti's character when he realized what Eisenheim had done. It was thrilling. I thought the whole plot was laid out in a very clever manner and I left the theater thinking I had seen a really good motion picture. I really recommend this movie. After all these summer movies I have seen, this one was a true winner. I want to see Edward Norton in many more movies.
