"The Prestige" is that rare specimen of modern blockbuster filmmaking - the type of film that demands you revisit it again and again to fully unwind its tightly guarded secrets. Much like "The Sixth Sense" did several years earlier, Christopher Nolan's film keeps its secrets hidden in plain sight, and yet it's only on a second (or third) viewing that most people will be able to detect them. The less said about the plot, the better. Just know that the story has considerable thematic depth (passion, power, obsession, duality, identity, and revenge are all seamlessly woven into the fabric of the film) and is elevated by the performances of both Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman. The greatest achievement of "The Prestige" is that it ultimately functions as Nolan's own magic trick, perpetuated in front of an audience that views it and is left with the most wonderful question in all of film at the end: "How did he do that?"

Another incredible movie from one of the premier directors of our time. So far, anything with this guy's name attached to it has been stellar. If you haven't seen it and are on the fence, jump on over. Beautiful movie.

Great Movie

This is one of the best magician films ever. It was released about the same time as The Illusionist with Ed Norton and I feel this was a far greater film. I am not a huge fan of Christian Bale but this was one of his best performances since American Psycho.
