Magic movies always have some appeal; there's built-in intrigue, you
might say. Add to that a director as good as Christopher Nolan, and a
fine cast led by Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale, and you've got a very
likable movie, filled with strong performances, clever (but not too
clever) twists, and just a dollop of humbug. It isn't quite as good as
the contemporaneous, vaguely similar film
The Illusionist, but it's worth it in its own right.
