The Illusionist

Nothing is what it seems.

Unlock the mysteries of the year's most spellbinding film from the producers of Crash and Sideways! Oscar nominees Paul Giamatti and Edward Norton lead an all-star cast in this "stunning" film (USA Today) that conjures an exhilarating blend of suspense, romance and mind-bending twists. The acclaimed illusionist Eisenheim (Norton) has not only captured the imaginations of all of Vienna, but also the interest of the ambitious Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell). But when Leopold's new fiancé (Jessica Biel) rekindles a childhood fascination with Eisenheim, the Prince's interest evolves into obsession...and suddenly the city's Chief Inspector (Giamatti) finds himself investigating a shocking crime. But even as the Inspector engages him in a dramatic challenge of wills, Eisenheim prepares for his most impressive illusion yet in this "mesmerizing" (Entertainment Weekly) and "beautifully acted" (Good Morning America) film that "teases you until the very end!" (The New York Times).

GREAT movie - MLH2

Great movie. Wow. The only thing that spoils this movie, really is the title. The ending is a shocker, but still the title kind of gives it all away. Really well written, well directed movie. Jessica Biel is wonderful, classy. The main actor (name?) is fabulous as well. This is truly a 4 star movie. Good for all ages. I was very sick on the couch watching this, but still was glued to the screen to not miss a thing. I would watch this movie again tonight, it was THAT good!!

Neat movie - jgirl

I am usually not a person to watch a movie or rent one without knowing anything about it. Had I known it was about a magician 'back in the day' I probably would not have rented it.
However, I was pleasantly suprised at the story-line, and all the little twists in the plot.
I guess I liked it having gone in knowing nothing. I think the story was a neat one and they made the 'magic' part where you are wondering if he really is a magician or just a very good illusionist. I would recommend it - just jump in!

Romantic and magical mystery - BritaBroad

The thing that struck me most about this movie was the look of it - green and ochre shades predominated, giving the whole movie the look of an Impressionist painting. Quite beautiful.

I thought this might have just been simply the telling of the life story of a magician, but instead it was part romance and part mystery that keeps you intrigued to the very end, when the biggest illusion of all is revealed.

Fabulous performances by all the cast. Norton is great as the slightly odd title character, managing to be both distant and emotional at the same time; Rufus Sewell is great as the psychotic prince; Paul Giamatti wonderfully understated as the cop who wants to do the right thing inspite of the bullying Prince, and who learns to have a grudging respect for the magician he is supposed to be exposing and ruining; and Jessica Biel is everything she needs to be as the romantic pivot of the story.

Lovely movie in every way.
