Great acting from Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale in portraying two competing magic performers. Storyline is captivating and gives us audiences a sense of mystery and thrill. From director, Christopher Nolan, the man that brought us Dark Knight, Inception and Interstellar, this is a show to watch especially for those that crave a story line with a unique plot. Plot twists are guaranteed.
