Dueling magicians. Secret obsessions.

Rating: 4/10 (28 February 2007)

I personally don't agree that THE PRESTIGE will be one of the best films you have the chance to see. Visuals are stunning and you can tell that the director Christopher Nolan put a lot of labor into this project. Set at the turn-of-the-century London, magicians are celebrities and idols of the day. Two magicians, that have turned enemies deluxe, will passionately not stop at nothing to learn each other's majestic secrets. Each magician will apply deceit, sabotage and other dastardly deeds to become the greatest magician of all time. This movie is overly long and at times seems like it is just plodding along. Stars include: Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine, Piper Perabo, David Bowie and Christian Bale.
