I just recently watched the Illusionist, the other magic movie (the other being The Prestige), and I have to say it was a well crafted movie. The tricks were often foreseen, but entertaining. Edward Norton was did an excellent job as Eisenheim, as did Paul Giamatti as Inspector Uhl. I mostly noticed the terrific editing job on the film with a very soft look and interesting fades on cuts. The film had its slower moments, but was still well worth watching. So place it on your NetFlix or Blockbuster list.
