Do yourselves a favor and be sure to check this film out. One of the best movies I’ve seen all year with numerous Oscar-worthy performances and an extremely inspired script. The twist-ending is one of the best I’ve seen in a very long time. Highly recommended.

Check out my full review, Right Here!

The Prestige, the movie, is in many ways like the illusionists it features; keeping certain things just out of sight yet within the audience’s grasp at all times if only they can manage to figure it out. The movie is set-up in a rather non-linear fashion for the most part. Christian Bale’s character is delivering a narrative from the journal of Hugh Jackman’s character, while simultaneously, Hugh Jackman is delivering a narrative from the journal of Christian Bale’s character. Each character gradually drops a piece of the puzzle in place, all leading up to a very shocking ending. This back-and-forth style of story-telling can be a bit confusing at first, and unless you’re paying attention, there’s a chance the audience might get lost. I wouldn’t recommend getting up and going to the bathroom during any part of this movie.
