Admirable film.

A different way of telling a story

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Devoid of substance, devoid of talent and devoid of meaning. Like a pile of dog poop on the floor in an art museum. Everyone pointing and saying "Oh the commentary on modern life is so substantial!" while it was just a stray dog shitting on the floor. This movie was such a pile of dog shit that with all the big names in it a lot of people thought they must have been too stupid to miss the meaning and depth. So they pretended that they movie had depth and was meaningful to not seem stupid in front of others. Then their friends went to see it, thought it sucked but were afraid to be seen as too stupid to see it so they pretended to love it. But their instinct was right, it was horrible. Too bad they were too insecure to admit it. I think most of the movies that come out today are like that. They really do suck but people are afraid to be seen as too stupid to see the depth and meaning. Just go with your gut people. Admit the movie was horrible and you will find plenty of people agreeing with you.

I have to say this movie is groundbreaking. First of all, the movie is one of the best in its field, mystery. Thanks to the cast who knows what they will do,it worths to see this movie.While you are watching the movie, you feel as if you are in the trick games with them.Moreover,tricks chosen carefully are breathtaking.In every second of movie , you extremely wonder what will happen in the next scene.Even if you try to observe and solve the tricks,in the end you cannot achieve solving them and the tricks will make you stunned.At every scene they will get you completely hooked.On the one hand,the movie's fiction looks like out-of-this-world .On the other hand,the acts of the actors and actress are so realistic.The movie is mixture of gripping techniques.I can strongly recommend it,if you like this kind of movies.Also,it will be helpful you to broaden your mindswith this brooding tricks.Go and experience this magnificent movie! :)

Extremely convoluted film which just over half way I give up on. Watched till the end as I was off work ill.Still none the wiser!I must be stupid or something! Sometimes a bit of straight forward storytelling would be a pleasant surprise. Film got off to a good start with seven of diamonds trick, I picked the same card, and a few scams but went downhill in a very confusing series of convoluted twists that made no sense.

As you all know I share ratings with following sequence: rating = number of stars, 6=1(poor), 7=2(average), 8=3(good), 9=4(very good), & 10=5(excellent). Now I will tell you why I have been rated this as poor.The example of type of knowledge is 'how to execute certain magic'. In the whole world everybody should be given access to such knowledge. Only such a world would be ideal. Here in this movie this idea is contradicted. The knowledge is shared only among selected ones. Morgan Freeman tries to make it ideal, but ends behind prison.When sequel was announced I thought justice would be done but the story that is woven even in the sequels is something else jumbled up. Hence even the sequel is rated as poor.
