After Andy Serkis joins Hugh Jackman in the bar discussing the diary, you can see outside the window that it's raining. However shorty after that (the dialog suggests they leave at once) they walk about the outskirts of the town with snow lying on the ground. See more »
I have to say this is one of the best movies i have seen this year, i was not expecting it to be that good. There's twist after twist, and when you think there is no more, there will be. Great performances and ever better plot. I highly recommend this movie to all ages.
New idea for a movie, and they succeeded it at it greatly. It will have you thinking every time you see a magician on TV!
i had to give this movie a 10/10, and i only have 4 movies that i would rate that way in my life time. If there is anything you do this year, make it a trip to watch this movie!
I hope you enjoy it as much as i did.
