Predictable but very enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2007)

This movie I kinda expected to fail and I ended up rather enjoying it. Its sorta like all the movies that "princess bride" did the parody on. Its also kinda predictable all the way, BUT the acting is brilliant and the story is compelling and you get to care what happens to the characters. Edward Norton plays the magician and Jessica Biel plays his love interest. Paul Giamatti plays the chief of police and like he usually likes to do kinda steals the movie from Biel and Norton. The story is about Norton but the true narrative is Giamatti's. It kinda reminded me of The usual suspects at one point, Time flew by and I really enjoyed it.
8/10 and its 8 only cause its so predictable.
