This was a mediocre movie/two part series about Houdini played by Adrian Brody. I really liked the first time I saw it about 5 years ago, but the second time I watched with my wife a few weeks ago, it had a hard time keeping my full attention.

First of, who was the genius that decided that some nu-metal influenced music would be a good fit for something taking place 1880-1920? Kind of ruins the mood and feel completely. And this should've been a miniseries of 6x45min or something, this format feels kind of rushed.

To rushed, to shallow. You put a whole man´s live in 150 min of running time you are racing through it. Should have made this 8 or 10 parts and discover some aspects of his life further.
