The amazing world of magic and wizardry.

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2006)

Before watching this movie, I've already known Christopher Nolan from his several previous works such as Memento, Insomnia and Batman Begins. His talent as a director is a gift given not to so many, and that gift made the movie "Prestige" a masterpiece. The movie grips you to your seat and takes you to a world of magic and wizardry. While watching the movie, you find yourself in the middle of the war of pride and honor between two rival illusionists. They push their limits in creativity to be better than the other. All the illusions or tricks shown in the stage are amazing, and that is Christopher Nolan who gives each of them the thrill that increases your adrenaline.
About the actors, Hugh Jackman is again great like he has been in many of his former movies. In the movie, after the loss of his wife, his ambitious struggle against the once fellow friend Alfred Borden (Christopher Nolan) impresses everyone. Christopher Nolan, plays the fanatic character who dedicated himself to illusions and tricks very well. Apart from these two, Michael Cane and David Bowie play the most colorful two characters. Especially, David Bowie gives life to the most debated scientist ever, Tesla.
The only thing that a person should do while watching this movie, is to be patient and tolerant in the first 15 minutes of the movie. The first 15 minutes is quite confusing and one can become dizzy while following who is who. But then the movie will grab you tightly and will never let you out even many hours after it ends.
