I have been waiting a long time for this film to come out. I love Edward Norton and couldn't wait to see if he had created another memorable movie. Norton has created timeless characters in movies like Primal Fear, Fight Club, Rounders, and The Score. Edward Norton did a great job in the film but I believe the screenplay was poorly written. The story overall is a good one I just believe it was not well adapted for the big screen. Which is too bad, because with some editing or reworking of the script, the movie could have been superb. But because of the way that it flows, this movie was just average. For me, very predictable and uninteresting.
This is a movie where special effects could have been masterly performed to add to the illusions in the movie. Instead, the director focused more on giving the film a 1930's vintage feel than on focusing on the story itself and how special effects could have added to the mystery of Norton's chicanery.
Overall, average direction, average screenplay, superb acting, and a predictable plot.
Rating: 5 out of 10
