The time line makes this movie good. The tricks are made perfectly and cannot be understood by us. But at the last scene we all know the tricks. The desire for the revenge makes them crazy.

The movie is so awesome that i have watch thrice and it never bores me.The pace of the movie is very good.It doesnt bore you and you have a feeling that something is gonna happen and it happens!!!The end of the movie is just amazing and it turns the movie upside down.One of the best of Cristopher Nolan

Rivalry between two magicians is a new concept explored by Christopher Nolan. It's originality is it's strength. It's weakness is it's predictability. Two and half hours long , but I still found this engaging till end. But the ending didn't go well with me. The ending is not exactly the ending . It gave away all the plot in about 2/3rd of movie. It was already known that Angier uses a double and that Borden must have used one . That double being a twin is not a surprise. And that the machine produces an another double is quite obvious when Angie dropped the hat and Tesla said 'All are yours'. And was it that difficult to tell Olivia that they were twins? Only good twist at the end was Angier being Lord Cadlow. I like the movie only for the first 110 minutes and not for the last 20. Due to Nolan's fine storytelling. The only bad part is when it tries to be intelligent without having that sort of story.

This was a movie about rival illusionists who are hell-bent and obsessed with learning each other's secrets. After a trick goes horribly wrong, one becomes more obsessed. I liked the cast and the magic tricks, but feel like the movie dragged and was too slow in places. Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Hugh Jackman, David Bowie, and Scarlett Johansen were all good as the stars. If you want to see a movie about illusionists and magic and rivals, this might satisfy you.** out of ****
