impressive battle between two men through a forgotten art

Rating: 10/10 (29 August 2013)

The Prestige, I have to say, Mr. Nolan is close to my favorite filmmaker. Not only because he made superhero movies great films, but this man is also talented in other screenplays. For this one, for example, I'm not sure is it's his brother who got the idea, but the plot of two magicians engaging a battle for love and attacking each other by magic tricks is simply genius. Who the hell thought about that before, seriously? Great actor performances, stunning hot Scarlett Johansson and plus, he succeeds by making this film in another time of history and get appropriate costumes and landscapes. I think that this fact is a huge plus to any movie, whatever the subject is. It's pretty funny to see Hugh Jackman, who is the Wolverine, playing a total different kind of role, but it's nice to see also that he is a great actor even outside x-men movies, and for Bale, he is definitely getting a bigger place in my esteem for him and I think he is also a great actor. And oh God, the climax is so amazing! I'm not gonna say anything about it but I'm just gonna say that I almost jump of my couch when I saw it. Chris Nolan is definitely the man of modern films, keep making good stuff, I salute you.
