A Grand Illusion Worth Seeing

Rating: 9/10 (3 September 2006)

When I got the tickets for the Illusionist, I thought I was seeing Prestige. I thought it was funny I was seeing a trailer for the movie I was about to see and then quickly realized they were too different movies. What a pleasant surprise! There is little violence, no inappropriate language and was not driven by sex scenes though one could call it a love story. The Illusionist was thoroughly entertaining. It had beautiful cinematography and excellent acting. It was engaging, and the ending was very satisfying. The Grand Illusion of the Illusionist is worth seeing. I would not have seen this movie if I didn't make the initial mistake. I hope others who would not have seen this movie will choose to. It's definitely worth seeing.
