Now Thats a Christopher Nolan Film...

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2007)

The Prestige, aptly suited for the title...you can not ignore it. The word Prestige itself means the final part/act of the magic trick, and the film ends with a well crafted ending. I have not read the novel, by Christopher Priest, but then the picturization is complete in itself...at least for me.
To what limits can a man go to take revenge...or for the ultimate magic trick. The film is a carefully woven tale of two magicians and their rivalry, and is something that keep you glued to your seats right till the end. Now thats some storytelling. A must see for Nolan's fan and I just kept thinking, how does he do it. The Memento and Batman Begins fame director/screenplay writer at his best again. The way his films are directed, the manner in which story is told always keeps you captivated and there is certainly no escaping this one. Go ahead and see for yourself for the ultimate magic trick...
