Death Defying Acts

Director: Gillian Armstrong
Year: 2007
Stars: Guy Pearce, Catherine Zeta Jones, Saoirse Ronan, Timothy Spall

I'd never heard of this when I saw it listed in the TV guide, but it seemed to have several things to recommend -a positive review, Guy Pearce, an intriguing sounding storyline, and it was short!

The film focuses on Houdini (Pearce) when he comes to Edinburgh, and a mother and daughter who try to make him believe they are true psychics.

There's not much more to the plot than that, so an hour and a half is plenty of time to give the film. There's not a lot more to say really - there's nothing really wrong with the film, it's just forgettable. Nothing special.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5
