wow. how did this slip so far under the radar for so long with so many people? the Oscars ignored it, audiences ignored it, i don't get how!!! the story has more twist and turns than if the usual suspects had a three-way with the 6th sense and se7en. the way you're rooting for hugh jackman's character then you're neutral then you're rooting for Christian bale's character then back again... it never stops!!! fantastic performances by everyone as well... bale as the better magician with the lousy showmanship, jackman as the man out for revenge who will stop at nothing to learn the other's secrets, caine as the man constantly finding out the type of men he's been dealing with. it just doesn't get any better. chris nolan you are a god.
