One of the greatest ever.

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2009)

The Prestige is a fantastic film by far. Christopher Nolan has done many fantastic and awesome films. The Prestige is almost as good as The Dark Knight. The Prestige is on my favorites list as #2 because never before have I seen such magic. The Prestige is magic in many ways, either with magic or it's so good it's magic. I haven't seen such fantastic ways of story telling than Nolan's The Presige. The Dark knight has the same sort of theme. Also, his other great and awesome film Memento is very unique. The Prestige has a great cast including:
Hugh Jackman(X-Men, Swordfish)
Christian Bale(Equilibrium, The Dark Knight)
Michael Caine(Sleuth, Miss Congeniality)
Scarlett Johannson(He's just not that into you, The Other Boleyn Girl)
David Bowie(Labryinth)
Scarlett Johannson has a pattern with her film roles. In every film, she plays some sort of skank. In He's Just not that into you, Bradley Cooper's having an affair with her. In The Prestige, she dumps Hugh Jackman for Christian Bale. She has a good reason for that though. She doesn't play a skank in every film, but it sure as hell seems like it. The two main characters are Robert Angier and Alfred Borden. Personally, I prefer Alfred Bordan(Christian Bale). Bordan isn't as much of a prick as Angier(Hugh Jackman). The Prestige has a really clever ending and it definitely deserved the best film of 2006 award. It was only nominated for two Oscars. But it really deserved more because The Prestige is one of the greatest ever.
The Plot: After a magic trick goes terribly wrong, two magicians become rivals. When one of them comes up with a fantastic new trick, the other tries to steal it.
