The Illusionist (2006)

THE ILLUSIONIST (2006) - Mar. 21, 2011
As far as 2006-released, turn-of-the-century magician movies go, The Prestige is the clear victor.  However, this was still an enjoyable enough film about a talented magician who falls in love with a girl from the upper class.  The film is entertaining throughout, and quite well acted, if nothing entirely special.  Though it did make me realize that you just cannot go wrong with an ending in which a character realizes that they've been conned while dramatic music plays (ie. Spiral, The Usual Suspects, Primal Fear, etc.).  ***
