One of the best

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2007)

Wow. I heard from this movie right after I heard Edward Norton was doing The Illusionist. As a huge fan of magicians, Edward Norton and Hugh Jackman my day couldn't possibly be better. I just had to see these movies.
First I watched the Illusionist. It was completely different than what I expected, but it was quite a nice movie. The Prestige however was totally as I expected and was absolutely perfect. The atmosphere it created was just wonderful.
The plot twists this movie has are just genius. Every time you think you understand whats happening, the plot twists and you have to think it all over again. That's, I think, the strength of this movie.
The performance of the actors was great, but thats not surprising when looking at all the big names "Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine). They all are very convincing in their role and I think they did an excellent job.
Also the end is very satisfying. It ends very mysterious and you really want to know what's going on.
I recommend this movie to anyone who loves a great movie. This is simply one of best.
