What film did this remind you of?

Rating: 10/10 (20 October 2006)

For me this movie had more in common with "The Sting" than any film I have seen in years.
Outstanding period costumes and sets. Art direction was amazing. The Sets and costumes were so real that you just got lost in them. Just like "The Sting".
Convoluted and time shifting, terrific plot. You always knew what was going on but were totally surprised by the twists... Possibly even better than "The Sting".
I loved it... Cain should win the supporting actor Oscar for this and the people in charge of costumes, sets and writing should be rewarded as well. One of my favorite films of 2006 without a doubt.
It has been a couple of years since I have enjoyed a film this much. A great film about Magic and showmanship, about obsession and about illusion. Bravo!
