As I pointed out below, this film isn't perfect, but no offense, you are completely in error in regard to the romantic chemistry between Norton and Biel.>>> 'The "trick ending" could be seen coming a mile away. The director might think he's being clever, but this type of present-day cinematic "surprise," made popular I suppose by "The Sixth Sense," has to involve more than last-second script manipulation.' <<<
As I stated below this film's flaws, albeit minor, have nothing to do with "last-second script manipulation." All that would've been required was a little tightening and one or two revisions of an otherwise solid script so that certain scenes work a little better. Personally, I think that this film would've benefitted from less emphasis on slick studio effects to achieve conjured spirits (eerie hazy smoke and mirrors images would've been better to create an other worldly atmosphere in a 19th century stage magic setting).
