This was an enjoyable TV miniseries. The film follows Houdini (Adrien Brody) from childhood fascination with magic and the support he got from his loving mother. He marries Bess (Kristen Connolly) which was a less than idea marriage. The film shows you how Houdini did his tricks...except for maybe that one thing.
Houdini was like Madonna, in that he was constantly trying to re-invent himself in order to stay on top. We would see where his ideas would come from, which most likely were dramatizations. The film touches on his infidelity and goes into detail on his mission as a spy and as a debunk-er of Mediums.
Adrien Brody looked extremely buff for the part.
No F-bombs or nudity. Brief sex scenes. One scene takes place in a brothel.
