Review of Death Defying Acts (2007) by David G — 06 Mar 2012
I don't like Houdini! The man, from what I know of him.
Guy Pierce makes some nice interesting films.
I thought I wouldn't get to think of Guy Pierce as Houdini, but after the first half hour I accepted him, though having said that, in the last half hour I snapped out of it & again saw Guy Pierce!
Not sure what the film is trying to say to us, but as I see it, the girl predicts Houdini's death, which turns out to be a self fulfilling prophecy, suggesting thast perhaps houdini didn't brace for the punch that killed him as subconciously he thought it was time for him to die.
An interesting enough film.
Oh yeah & we knew the young girl wasn't Scottish, her accent was way too clear, like that of somebody who's been taught diction! haha.
