Watch again and look closely

Rating: 8/10 (19 October 2010)

I was surprised at how this was, when I watched it. Strangely enough it didn't do well at the Box Office. Maybe people can only be bothered with one Magician movie at a time, the other being the Prestige, which there is no doubt about superior to this one. It still is a very good movie, with a powerhouse performance by (especially) Ed Norton and the other actors involved.
The movie can be watched just as entertainment or you can actually read things into it. Both ways will be rewarding, so you don't have to get everything (intentionally put there or not) to enjoy it. If you do, good for you. I liked the way it was told and the fact it left room for you to interpret some things. There is rewarding second viewing in sight then ... If you care for it that is
