Adrien Brody makes for a great Houdini. The CGI effects are indeed distracting, but this miniseries is entertaining, and even moving at times.

Peculiarly mixed-up and mythologised affair with CSI-style-CGI and a modern score. Far from perfectly cast but, they're a likeable bunch and Brody really seemed to love it, getting in on the stunts and what. Fairly fun sunday evening procrastination-time viewing.
