So Much Darker Than The Illusionist, One Of My Favourite Films ðŸ˜Š

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 2020)

Whilst many appear to prefer The Illusionist, for me The Prestige provides a far deeper and darker exploration into the bitter rivalry between two magicians. The depths to which Bale and Jackman's characters stoop to exact revenge on one another whilst attempting to uncover each others secret results in a spectacular tale of intrigue, betrayal and murder. An encapsulating spectacle of cinematography which is deserving of much greater critical acclaim than it ever received.
