A true masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2014)

A psychologically thriller plot, a subtle sci-fi background, a twisted romantic story that doesn't eclipse the main one and a jaw-dropping ending are the recipe of this true masterpiece. I think that while Memento is the expression of Nolan talent behind a camera,this is Nolan best screenplay and book adaptation. Nolan brothers have done something astonishing in terms of plot: they did the best work that can be done! Everything is in the right place, at the right time, confusing and hypnotizing you until you are completely caught in a spiral of violence and love, reason and magic. These two sides of a magician show are wonderfully interpreted by an amazing Bale and a surprisingly good Jackman! I recommend this film to all the people who love to be tricked, charmed and amazed by a movie, because this is The Prestige: only something that seems so normal and trivial that can surprise you like no other can.
