Similar in theme to the Illusionist, I found Prestige great, awesome acting by Bale, yet can't list this movie as a clear favorite because of one problem: for a mystery, it's way too predictable. I figured out Bale's secret about half way thru the film, so the 2nd half of the movie with all the build up and suspense to reveal the 'secret', well, it was just way too obvious, and it did end up bei... read more

I prefer the Illusionist to this movie, not that I didn't like this one. It's more predictable than The Illusionist, but the story is still well presented and crafted so that the suspense builds up until the very end when all is revealed. It keeps you guessing about what will happen next, and entertaining to watch the amazing tricks and illusions this movie has to offer.

Description: A mysterious story of two magicians whose intense rivalry leads them on a life-long battle for supremacy, full of obsession, deceit, and jealousy with dangerous and deadly consequences. Are you watching closely? That is the very important question asked in this absorbing drama about the excessive rivalry between two magicians in early twentieth-century London. It is also a question that comes to the fore in all the films directed by Christopher Nolan (Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins). He is notorious for time shifts and presenting characters with obsessions. The Prestige is based on a novel by Christopher Priest; the screen ... (more)

Imperfect but fascinating

“Warning: Spoilers

As said in my review for his masterpiece 'Memento', Christopher Nolan has always struck me as a very talented film-maker, and most of his films are ones that have impressed me a lot. Even weaker efforts, where his ambition can get in the way, have a good deal to admire. His films are all impeccably crafted technically, and often entertaining and thought-provoking, also knowing how to get good performances out of talented casts.

'The Prestige' is not quite perfect, but is still very good and one of Nolan's better films. To me actually it was close to outstanding, which makes my issues with the denouement even more frustrating. And it is the denouement that's 'The Prestige's' biggest problem, being over-baked and with one twist too many, the second of wh” read more
