Very smart

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2006)

I went to see this film without big expectations. After all, there's another film with magic involved and none of them had Golden Globe Nominations. It was a big surprise to find such a clever and original film with many plot twists and amazing performances. I would recommend it to people who like to be surprised and to the ones who appreciate the world of showmen, circus, magicians, some bohemian love life, betrayals, etc ... The main roles (Slater and Jackman) are brilliant and very credible, and once again Michael Caine delivers a quality performance. Also Scarlett Johanson looks beautiful and is perfectly casted in this mysterious and romantic role.
