Christopher Nolan's Crowning Achievement

Rating: 9/10 (22 October 2006)

I've just watched "The Prestige" and, without a shadow of a doubt, this is Christopher Nolan's shining moment. Not since Memento (another fine Nolan film) have I seen such a well-crafted story told in such a creative way that keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering what turn the movie will take next! I've never been a fan of spoilers, so let's just say that you have to keep watching until the very end - and the film's ending is a testament to what can be done with a great script, excellent acting and top-notch directing. The film gives one the distinct feeling that the life of an illusionist is not one to be taken lightly. See this film! Trust me - you won't be disappointed! 9 out of 10!
