Editorial Review:

Description:
Award-winning actors Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Scarlett Johansson star in THE PRESTIGE, the twisting, turning story that, like all great magic tricks, stays with you. Two young, passionate magicians, Robert Angier (Jackman), a charismatic showman, and Alfred Borden (Bale), a gifted illusionist, are friends and partners until one fateful night when their biggest trick goes terribly wrong. Now the bitterest of enemies, they will stop at nothing to learn each other's secrets. As their rivalry escalates into a total obsession full of deceit and sabotage, they risk everything to become the greatest magician of all time. But nothing is as it seems, so watch closely. And be prepared to watch it again and again.

Amazon.com:
The Prestige attempts a hat trick by combining a ridiculously good-looking cast, a highly regarded new director, and more than one sleight of hand. Does it pull it off? Sort of. Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman play rival magicians who were once friends before an on-stage tragedy drove a wedge between them. While Bale's Alfred Borden is a more skilled illusionist, Jackman's Rufus Angier is the better showman; much of the film's interesting first half is their attempts to sabotage--and simultaneously, top--each other's tricks. Even with the help of a prop inventor (Michael Caine) and a comely assistant (Scarlett Johansson), Angier can't match Borden's ultimate illusion: The Transporting Man. Angier's obsession with learning Borden's trick leads him to an encounter with an eccentric inventor (David Bowie) in a second half that gets bogged down in plot loops and theatrics. Director Christopher Nolan, reuniting with his Batman Begins star Bale, demonstrates the same dark touch that hued that film, but some plot elements--without giving anything away--seem out of place with the rest of the movie. It's better to sit back and let the sometimes-clunky turns steer themselves than try to draw back the black curtain. That said, The Prestige still manages to entertain long after the magician has left the stage--a feat in itself. --Ellen A. Kim

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Anglophone film of the decade?
There's not much that I can type about the finest accomplishment of Christoper Nolan's filmmaking career that hasn't been stated before. It wouldn't be unfair for the Nolans to abandon their non-linear plot structure at this point; they exploited the concept so thoroughly here in conjunction with numerous of interrelated visual metaphors in order to fully explore a variety of Victorian themes: the thrill of technology-driven entrepreneurship during the onset of modernity, science as magic explained ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Movie Worth Watching Closely
100 years ago, there were two fledgling magicians. Both Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) are the plants in an audience who help a magician with his final act. But one night things turn deadly, leaving Robert a widower and breaking apart the two men.

Over the years, they keep tabs on each other and try to hurt each other. That's how Robert knows when Alfred premiers his most phenomenal trick, the transported man. In this trick, Alfred moves from one box ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent film based off a superior book
First off, to all who enjoyed Christopher Nolan's "The Prestige", do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of Christopher Priest's novel by the same name. That book served as the basis for this film.

This is truly one of my favorite films. Bale is terrific as always as Alfred Borden, and Jackman delivers what I consider to be his finest performance as the obsessive, vindictive Robert Angier. Michael Caine's supporting role as Angier's ingenieur of allusions is a charming and vital, as the ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Prestige: Prestegious
If you truly want to be entertained, and you appreciate magic (as in: professional stage magic and magicians) you will adore this film.

All the actors are at their best, here. And, the film holds a bit of a surprise at the end, although cynical folks will say they saw it coming.

It's easy to say, after one has viewed the film, that it was all so obvious...but, it wasn't all so obvious on the first viewing.

Repeated viewings do yield some interesting gems, even ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best magician movie I've ever seen!
Superbly done film from beginning to end. The cast is outstanding. The plot is very imaginative. David Bowie is unrecognizeable! The sets, costumes, dialogue and cimematography are all top drawer. One of the most entertaining movies ever. Keeps you guessing right up to the final frame. If you're not entertained by it, check for a pulse!
