Lots of my favourite films are nonsensical, but the twists were a bit out there and I didn't really buy the whole magician vs magician rivalry. Especially when one magician was chosen to inspect the other magicians act and he sabotaged it. Out of all them people, what are the odds that the rival magician would be the one chosen to inspect. Nolan really is brilliant though, so clever. But I think it's my least favourite Nolan film. I thought the Following was really good.
