Review: The Prestige
WOW! What a movie! If you like movies that are thoughtful, twisty and keep you thinking after the last credit rolls, then this is the movie for you. It is a movie that you can't say a lot about for fear of giving away the plot.
The movie is not a fast paced movie and you can't spend time doing needlepoint or a crossword puzzle while watching it. You need to keep your eyes glued to the screen or else you will miss something. It is a movie you will want to watch more than once so you can find the clues you missed the first time. All of the actors do a bang-up performance in this movie and I highly recommend it!
From the DVD box:
Award-winning actors Hugh Jackman, Christian Blae, Michael Caine and Scarlett Johansson star in The Prestige, the twisting, turning story, that like all great magic tricks, stays with. Two young, passionate magicians, Robert Angier (Jackman), a charismatic showman, and Alfred Borden (Bale), a gifted illustionist, are friends and partners until one fateful night when their biggest trick goes terribly wrong. Now the bitterest of enemies, they will stop at nothing to learn each other's secrets. As their rivalry escalates into a total obsession full of deceit and sabotage, they risk everything to become the greatest magician of all time. But nothing is as it seems, so watch closely. And be prepared to watch it again and again.
