Honestly, I really wasn't that impressed...

Rating: 5/10 (22 July 2010)

First of all, I pretty much figured out how this movie was going to end the second it started. While the ending does make you think, it's a very, very obvious plot twist. The movie also doesn't follow its own rules. The characters say that they always wake up when there is a "kick" or the feeling of falling and hitting something, yet this happens numerous times in the fight scenes and chase scenes and none of the characters wake up. The best examples of this are the van flipping through midair and crashing on the street, the avalanche, and the guy falling off the fortress. While I thought that it was exciting and well made and that the actors were dead on, this movie really doesn't live up to all the hype. Watch the Prestige. THAT is a masterpiece.
