Prestige, The
USA 2006, 128 minutes
Dir. Christopher Nolan
Genres: Suspense/Crime / Fantasy
Topics: Period - 1800s.
Aroview: Another astounding feat of storytelling from the dir. of MEMENTO that spins a constantly intriguing yarn of two rival magicians who engage in a dangerous game of one-upmanship in Victorian London.
Cannily structured like a complex three-act magic trick ('the pledge', 'the turn', and 'the prestige') that's sustained with expert craft and elegant showmanship, the setting also conveys a thrilling sense of discovery and nostalgia. The prestige cast also work wonders, most suprisingly David Bowie as enigmatic inventor, Nikolas Tesla.

4 stars (Very Good) Elegant, suspenseful fantasy story with some great twists, this is a must-see for magic fans. Bale and Jackman are ever upping the other in tricks and showmanship, leading to a compelling finale that may leave you speechless. ~Tom H
3 stars (Good Enough) The story is solid and the visuals are wonderful, but the two leads and the final twist left me disinterested and unimpressed. ~Wizzums
