Review of The Prestige

The Prestige (2006)
9/10
One of the best of the year
6 November 2006
"The Prestige" is a film about two magicians who are friends at first but when a tragedy strikes, the two split up and have their own magic acts. A rivalry begins between them and from there, the movie twists and turns like a windy road.

The acting is the strongest point of the film. Jackman and Bale are both charismatic and extremely likable, although I'll admit I was cheering for Bale (Who wasn't? :P). The plot is well developed and some have complained about the length but when you have a good movie playing, you don't notice the time. Once the movie grabs you, it doesn't let go.

Definitely worth the admission price. Go see it, tell your friends, and you'll thank me later.
