The Illusionist has an interesting story, put together with great acting and cinematography.
The story goes back and forth between an illusionist (Edward Norton) and a police detective (Paul Giamatti). The police detective struggles to find the answers around him while the illusionist chooses to keep everything hidden. As the story progresses, the point of view starts to really focus on the police detective. As the story starts ending, more and more is revealed about the characters and their interaction towards others.
The characters are very realistic and act very well together. Each character has a wonderful personality, and a set of limitations which makes them seem very real. The dialog for the characters is very well written, making the conversations the characters have very realistic. Along with the script, the characters had wonderful actors, which made them feel realistic.
Overall, The Illusionist is a great movie. Everything fit together very well.
