Riveting

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2007)

I actually saw Prestige by accident; although I had heard good reviews there were other films that I preferred to see. As it happens the night I was at the cinema the film I had wanted to see was sold out and I decided to see Prestige instead. I can only say it was a superb film (even better then the film I had originally wanted to see).
I thought both Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale portrayed their characters in a really realistic way, and it was difficult to decide which one you would support, as like real life, the moment you thought one was better then the other, they went and did something that totally spoilt your choice and you were back to square one.
It was a slower moving film, but it was handled brilliantly, and the twists were simple but effective.
Quite simply it was the best film I had seen of 2006.
