I figured out the plot twist early (but NO spoiler)!

Rating: 5/10 (5 June 2006)

Normally, I'm too stupid to figure out a movie's plot twist. Yes, I figured it out early for "The Usual Suspects," but was clueless until the end for "Angel Heart," "The Village," and "The Sixth Sense." Accordingly, if I can figure it out earlier than I'm supposed to, how difficult can it be? I figured this one out about 20 minutes before I was supposed to.
I don't think "The Illusionist" is a bad film, but it's certainly not anything special. The acting is uniformly strong, but the story just isn't very good or interesting.
I'll be interested in seeing how the "professional" critics rate this, and how well it will do at the box office when it is released.
