So I watched the illusionist over the weekend am I'm sorry but I wasn't impressed by Norton at all. He just didn't stand out to me, maybe the character he played was just dull but I found the movie pretty boring.

see fight club? (although I think Brad Pitt outdoes him, but that's more of a character thing)

i'm sure going into it very skeptical doesn't help either.

Rounders, Fight Club and GenX are definitely his best movies.

Will, I definitely agree with you about The Prestige vs The Illusionist. The wife and I watched both in the same evening and Prestige won hands done for both of us.

As for the Illusionist itself, it was a good film but at times there are points where you can pretty much work out what's going to happen without even thinking about it. Norton's films for me are:

American History X
Rounders
Fight Club.

allready stated in another thread but primal fear is brilliant, Norton does a very impressive job in the supporting role.
Flopping quads and boats like its my job
