A long movie with lots of great illusions and good acting but the storyline wasn't convincing or enthralling.

Just an illusion! What an illusion! Where's my time? My fuckin' time! Give me back my time! This is a shit, not a film. Honestly, and - even if it doesn't seem - kindly, N.

This movie is pretty much The Prestige without everything that made the Prestige a masterpiece.

When I looked at this film for the first time I was unsure it would be any good... I was completely amazed by how this film was good. The actors all played there role very well. The film has a very good storyline and I was compelled to watch it. All in all a great movie, worth watching.

Seen this movie several times over the years and still find it so entertaining and satisfying thanks in large part to Edward Norton's performance. In some ways, although not as expertly directed, I prefer this over The Prestige, which is a great movie in its own right.

Life and death. Space and time. Fate and chance. Theses are the forces of the universe.

The Illusionist is directed by Neil Burger and Burger adapts the screenplay from "Eisenheim the Illusionist" written by Steven Millhauser. It stars Edward Norton, Paul Giamatti, Jessica Biel and Rufus Sewell. More
