Best Film of the Year

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2006)

Earlier tonight I went to the cinema with a few friends to see The Prestige. I had seen Casino Royale the day before and felt that was the best film I had seen this year by a long way. However this all changed when I saw The Prestige. Not only boasting a great cast that included Jackman, Bale, Johansson, Caine but also a fantastic director and an exceptional screenplay composed by Christopher and Jonathan Nolan. Without giving too much away all I can say about the story is I think it contains some of the best story telling I have ever seen on the big screen. The acting in the film is also of a great quality with probably Jackman's best performance and Christian Bale continuing from where he left of with Batman Begins.
Simply this is the best film I have seen all year and one of the best I have ever seen. A must see.
