Putting aside the gaping plot hole upon which the story rests....

It was an enjoyable film to watch if you're interested in the inner workings of magic shows. It probably won't go down as a classic as the movie itself comes off as Bale's character describes: "never give away the secret of the trick. Once they know the secret, you are nothing to them." The secret was given to the audience therefore the movie becomes less because of it.

The gaping plot hole is why did Bale's character go backstage to investigate Jackman's character's trick? Bale *told* Jackman's character the method. The whole premise of the story is deflated. Or is that the point....that the veiwer *wants* to be fooled just like a magic trick.
