Hey, it's GDT so it must be good!
A drifter connects with the circus and while he's just helping out, he starts learning from a local mentalist act (with certain side benefits). However, he has bigger ideas, and him and his new girl take off for the big city. He has to up his game, and goes for big plays, but this is the city and it has its own ideas.
Okay, great actors here, you'll spend a lot of time going "hey, where do I know them from?" Well shot, good atmosphere, but...
Is this Guillermo del Toro? Like, I'm not a director snob, but having seen other movies of his... this didn't feel like anything special. It was a good movie, well done, but nothing spectacular. And considering this is two and a half hours, I was wanting a bit more than a movie we could have gotten from any competent director.
No doubt this will receive high praise just because of the director, and if you want a good movie, you'll get one, but nothing amazing.
