      Audience Member You lost me at two things: 1. This is a TV movie. 2. I was fine struggling to identify the star of the film until I knew Schaech starred in the abhorrent "Road House 2: Last Call." Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Houdini's life... interesting... this movie? BLAND Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw it on TV long ago. Its ok for a made for tv movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Very clearly made for television and very flat story of the famed magician. Jonathon Schaech is over his head in the role, it needed a much more enigmatic actor. Bland, not particularly convincing, it has too many slow stretches, especially near the end. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
