Now you see it...now you don't. See it!

Rating: Null/10 (22 March 2007)

Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale are magicians who constantly try to one-up one another in this excellent film. Michael Caine is the mastermind behind the tricks. Scarlett Johansson is one of the magician's assistants. David Bowie is, get this, Nicola Tesla the great inventor. The film is clever, with plot twists galore and the ending is interesting, although you may figure it out if you are the type who always tries to figure out how a magic trick is done. Solid acting from everyone, interesting sets, and the film has a great look to it. Don't expect any historical accuracy. This is just a film with a very clever premise which is basically to try to trick the audience until the very end.
