Charming and brutal
... View MoreAt first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I always enjoy watching contestant's extraordinary talents, its quite neat. I enjoy seeing things that others would drop their jaw to or try to comprehend how it is being done. However, the camera angles in the show are just all over the place. Your trying to see how contestants are doing things and the camera is changing angles every 5 seconds. Its actually quite annoying and frustrating, when your trying to pay attention to something and your focus is constantly being diverted by camera changes. I couldn't focus on the 'acts' that some contestants were performing and it really frustrated me quite some bit, not to mention gave me a headache. If your in to watching unique things and don't mind your camera angle being switched constantly then this would be a show that you might want to check out, although, there are many shows on television and the web that showcase the same thing and are much better in their presentation on screen. That is why I gave it a 4/10. Thanks for reading. Enjoy!
