Jeny L 08/20/2024 I honestly thought Johnathon Schaech did a good job portraying Houdini. His performance was believable & seemed genuine. Don't prejudge the movie just because it was a made for TV one. After all almost every made for TV movie is a slight bit cringe-worthy. But what is NOT cringe-worthy is Schaech's acting. He should have gotten more praise for his performance than he did. See more 09/30/2015 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." See more 09/03/2013 Houdini's life... interesting... this movie? BLAND See more 11/28/2011 I saw it on TV long ago. Its ok for a made for tv movie. See more 10/24/2006 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.
