READ THE REVIEW

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B
"... may be nothing more than a lot of smoke and mirrors, but it's always entertaining."

Austin American-Statesman: 2 of 5 stars
"Given the lack of dexterity on display when the filmmakers turn to sleight-of-hand themselves ... it's not surprising that Eisenheim's illusions never quite seem to be more than just that."

The Palm Beach Post: A
"The film hinges on the understated, yet mesmerizing performance of (Edward) Norton, a genuine showman behind a demonic beard."

The Associated Press: C
"The bleak action ... ultimately tumbles into an artificial and unsatisfying conclusion."
