Christopher Nolan......a British director who currently has a great track record.....Memento, Insomnia and revitalising the Batman franchise with Batman Begins. Now, The Prestige......any good?
Of course it bloody is, it is a great film about two rival magicians whose rivarly leads to a death but who did it? And how? The time frame is fractured with flashbacks within flashbacks, all trying to confuse but it is an entertaining film, even if it does leave you cold. The performances are great all around, Bale, as ever is perfect. Hugh Jackman who hasn't really had a chance to shine other than Wolverine, is great in this film.
Yes, it has many twists and some people have complained that they guessed the twists.......the film is not trying to deceive you, it is trying to deceive each other and it is not a film that is dependent upon its twist (unlike all of Shyalaman's films, which are nothing BUT the twist).
I recommend people to go see this. 8/10
