A film with an IQ

Rating: 9/10 (4 March 2007)

Of course the cast and director pedigree give an indication you're going to get a good film, but The Prestige exceeds expectation.
The backbone of the plot is simple; two magicians obsessed with producing the ultimate illusion and more importantly outdoing their rival.
The storyline has been superbly presented by Nolan. This is a film that keeps you guessing but, in a similar manner to the sixth sense, there's honesty in the production that means every pertinent piece of information required to work out what's going on is clearly presented on the screen right from the start.
Arguably the best of the year.
