The Prestige

Rating: 8.2/10
Genre: Thriller
Overall value for money and time: 8.2/10

Two rival magicians who will do anything to unravel the secrets behind the illusions for the other party. Good twist for the ending, but I'm not one who will swear by it's ingenuity. It is thinkable, unlike movies like "Memento" or "Saw". Overall, it has an intelligent plot, great actors like Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman definately add spice to the movie, and the special effects are slightly above average. This movie is one more on story, than any other. It shows how obsession.... can lead to... undesirable circumstances. Me being an amateur magician on my own, may have in some sense affected my perceptions on this movie. Do give this movie a go if you have the time. Not one to leave you at "hello" (like in the movie "Jerry Maguire"), but one which will surely leave a print under your list of good movies.
