Why You Should See It
This is not Christopher Nolan's best film, but it is still a solid movie that one can watch at any time. Although the film focuses on stage magicians, it does not center on the magic they do but rather the effect the magic has on their loved ones. Also the movie mirrors a magic trick. It engages the audience from start to finish with twists, turns, and misdirection and winning performances from Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale.
