Saw it coming a mile away

Rating: 6/10 (22 October 2006)

This comment is only based on the plot. I will leave the judgment of directing and cinematography and editing and score to you. However, if you are expecting a twist at the end, it is extremely weak, and guess what, you have already figured it out halfway throughout the movie. I will not tell you any spoilers, but be warned it was disappointing. If you are like me, you have probably seen the previews for this movie (and you liked the preview, I mean, why not? there are three good actors and an attractive female, and the movie is about performing magic? what is there not to like?) and you may have seen the Illusionist, which you may have liked and thus you are ready to see this mega movie, right? Even tough you will most likely NOT feel that this was a waste of money and or time, you will most likely be very disappointed. The reason is plain. The movie is unrevealing itself, however you already know that...so you wait to see the next unrevealing but you know that..so you wait to see the next unrevealing again, but there isn't. Disappointing and not worthy of thumbs up (as they say). I gave it a 7 because, well it is still a movie well done (except for the plot).
sadly disappointed.
