I saw this movie tonite and I must say not only is it beautifully shot, it is really a spectacular performances cast-wide. If you are a fan of magic - You will surely enjoy this one, as the tricks played are just stunning

A must see!

Then there's the storyline - I must admit that I'm really surprised by the ending... Very nicely written plot and played to perfection. Oh - Phillip Glass as conductor has written some AWESOMELY beautiful music for the illusionist ---> If you are a classical music lover = A must-listen...

My rating:

Ms J-

I actually had the opp. to see this movie- AWESOMTACIOUS! I loved it. The ending shocked me too, I never would have guessed. I thought it started out a bit slow, but when it picked up, it was worth the watch. I agree, this is definately a thumbs up movie to see!!

PS- I own it too!
