About this movie

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.

An immersive and thoroughly enjoyable film. Brings a lot to the table and draws you into its world through amazing character acting and intricate set designs. Someone spoiled the twist for me at the end and I still enjoyed the ride and felt the impact of the "big reveal" or "prestige".... actually I probably appreciated it more.... which just goes to show how well conceived the movie is. It sets you up for a lot of things early on and delivers in spades later. Well worth $5 for a watch with some friends.

Excellent storytelling to hide one of the twists on plain sight from the very beginning, but there is more than one twist. The human aspects of the changing relationships is well done.

I felt weird and surreal after watching. Movies rarely have this effect. Also cheers for introducing me to Thom Yorke.
