An Idea Without an Execution

Rating: 3/10 (3 January 2007)

This movie was trying so hard to be eye opening and dramatic, and in that effort all they managed to do was make me wish I had never started.
In this day of computer generated graphics, making it look like Edward Norton is doing magic is about as difficult as making yourself look bad hitting on your cousin.
The magic is supposed to question reality and make the viewer reflect, but instead, is so fantastic that the viewer cant possibly believe it is being produced by Edward Norton. Instead it causes you to focus on reality itself and the computer generated graphics which make up the ENTIRE magic trick.
Maybe in the 1980's this movie would have moved an audience and evoked emotion. But instead it was a lame attempt at a clever movie. It was all hot air and no substance.
Final word: The worst movie Edward Norton has ever been in.
