Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2006)

Every great movie consists of three acts. The first act is called "The Pledge"; The filmmaker shows you something ordinary, but of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn"; The director makes his ordinary film do something extraordinary. Now if you're looking for the secret... you won't find it, that's why there's a third act called, "The Prestige"; this is the part with the twists and turns, where lives hang in the balance, and you see something shocking you've never seen before.
So it is with Christopher Nolan's latest mind-bending masterpiece. It plays with you deliberately, as a magician's audience, makes you believe something, brings you into something which appears ordinary; believe me it isn't. The Master of Non-linear Film-making - Christopher Nolan.
Hands down Oscar nomination. If I had to guarantee one nomination for this film -- Best Director.
