Master Piece

I am really impressed with The Prestige (2006). I only watched it recently because I've really became a fan of Christian Bale & Michael Caine, which only led to me being a bigger fan of them.
One of the things I found surprising, is how Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) had a twin brother who actually cut his finger to complete their act. And how that led Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) to be so obsessed about magic and performing the ultimate illusion distracted him from really seeing what's happening around him, and how Olivia Wenscombe (Scarlett Johansson) was playing him and originally working for Alfred.
The storyline reminded me of the movie "The Usual Suspects (1995)" starring Kevin Spacey, even though each movie had a totally different title but both of them had an unexpected ending that really blew me away.
