Incredibly complex plot that will keep you guessing until the last seconds of film.

Rating: 9/10 (21 October 2006)

The Prestige was an incredibly deep and twisted film. The plot is fairly hard to follow and for I while I would think things like "is this the past or the present" but soon I realized that it didn't really matter what it was, because in the end everything comes together. The movie keeps you on the edge of your seat guessing, right up until the last seconds of the film. These last few seconds will make you say "Wow, I get it now" and you will realize that Innocent scenes earlier in the film have significant importance. The special effects are great and the acting is very well done. The movie draws many parallels with another recently released "magician" film - The Illusionist, but the action and intensity of The Prestige makes for a more exciting and enjoyable experience. A backstage view of how some magic tricks are done also adds to the enjoyment. Highly recommended, definitely worth the price of admission.
