“Love is inescapable.”
During Harry Houdini’s (Guy Pearce’s) tour of Britain in 1926, the master escapologist enters into a passionate affair with a Scottish psychic. The psychic and her daughter attempt to con Houdini during a highly publicized séance to contact his mother whose death has haunted him for many years. However, all does not go to plan.
It might be the weakest of the latest “Magicians” movies (see Prestige and the Illusionist, the latter being overseen at the Box office), but it still has one strong central performance by Guy Pearce. I’m wondering when he will be in some top rated material again. Because the book does let him down a bit here.
This fictional story draws on grains of truth. Houdini was after psychics and spiritualists and exposing them as fakes. Here, he offers $10,000 to any psychic who can tell him the last words his mother spoke to him on her deathbed. I believe he did this in real life. I know when he died, he promised to come back and give his wife a message. It’s controversial whether or not he did. Allegedly psychic Arthur Ford revealed the code that the Houdinis agreed upon to Mrs. Houdini in 1929, but later, she denied this. There is a film during which the Catholic church pressures her to say it didn’t happen.
He tries everything and he is pretty good in it, but does not have so much to play with, as Ed Norton, Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale. All are great actors and the others have the opportunity in their movies to shine. This being based on “true events” (some of them I guess, without having the complete background scoop on it), it does fall flat on it’s back at times (no pun intended). Plus it might be a bit too much worried about the love story, than actually the story of our main character. At least that’s how I felt … still it can make a nice watch!
