2006
Plot: Rival magicians are dying to find the next best trick and squash a few birds in the process.
Eric: The real slight-of-hand in this movie was a story that obfuscated the plot as much as possible. The final payoff ruined the whole film for me—they are trying to tell me that Nikola Tesla invented a "transporter" before Star Trek did? I don't think so.
Kelly: The only thing I got out of this movie was don't get involved with a magician. They're tricky. Eric, what are you doing with that cat?
Watch it a second time. It's better because you can really see how the story of both magicians unfolds. You also get a better understanding of the sacrifices each has to make during their ongoing battle.
