In Reply to: I didn't find it predictable at all. posted by Dalton on March 6, 2007 at 11:31:26:
>You actually saw that coming?>After the second black cat and all of the top hats, yes.
I also saw Jackman's wife drowning with the special knot toward the beginning. Didn't you?
The only big surprise was Baile's twin.
Follow Ups:
"The only big surprise was Baile's twin."Early on Michael Caine's character said something like: "The *only* way he could do the trick is with a double."
I always take Michael Caine seriously and so even the twin was not a surprise.
No, given the setting of the film (1890's London) and subject matter (magicians), I expected an elaborate explanation of a serious of magic tricks, deceptions and illusions - not that the top hats and black cats were all really duplicated by some implausible cloning machine. I was expecting more of a "Columbo" sort of murder mystery. I went in knowing nothing about the source material or director. If I had known from the beginning that it was a science fiction film, I might have been more open to accepting the ending.
Performances.
...Ricky Jay in the early magic scenes did give it a ring of authenticity.
I'm with you Dalton well said nt
