5.0 out of 5 stars Houdini, a wonderful movie to view and own., July 30, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Houdini [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Houdini, is a television based movie. I find that it has easily become my favorite movie. With the strange twists, it gives some insight as to what Houdini's life was like. Of course, the whole movie isn't based upon the truth, but that's something to expect from a TNT movie. Every good movie, be it based upon the truth or not, has at least a few plop twists. The movie begins with Houdini's early childhood, up to his death, and a little past for entertainment value. The love story - like moments in the movie are sure to make you smile. The comedic parts of the movie, will draw something from you. Finally, the reality of the movie, will give you somewhat of an insight to Houdini's daring escape illusions. The end of the movie, will most likely touch your hearts and perhaps even bring a tear to your eye, as it did for mine. Enjoy Houdini.

The first time I saw this movie it touched my heart like few movies have. It makes you believe in the power of true love and how nothing is impossible as long as you believe.

A beautifully acted story of a man locked into a struggle for perfection of his work and the love for his wife. The conflicts which result are subtlely revealed in this film. Schaech is great.
