Why or why not?

And Michael Caine took on this engineering role as Cutter, responsible for assisting Rupert Angier (Hugh Jackman) with loyalty and conviction that they could, as a team, beat Christian Bale's Alfred Borden. He brings polish to the movie.

He's absolutely priceless. 9 out of 12 found this helpful. Was this review helpful?

I have not been so captured and entertained in a long time.

What "The Prestige" does very well is recreate a period of show business history near the turn of the century in which competition between magicians was serious and intense. Was this review helpful? With his remarkably sleight-of-hand direction, he spins the tale of two rivaling magicians in Victorian-era London, creating a cerebrally stimulating 2 hour long mise-en-scene in which the audience is literally left guessing and gasping at its rare uniqueness through magic acts and bitter behind-the-stage intrigue. It doesn't make him right for his wrong doings, but he gets the respect for his dedication as a magician.

Then Julie accidentally deceases during a sideshow , Robert accuses Alfred for her killing . What makes this movie so incredible is that while it is indeed a movie about magicians (or illusionists) it is also a complex character study about how self destructive obsessions are with a sideline love story and a sci-fi twist. With this movie I was still left wondering into the last 5 minutes of the movie. So many movies lately have left me feeling like I wasted away precious hors of my life that could have been spent doing better things. Teaming up again with his Batman Begins cast of Christian Bale and Michael Caine, and joined with the Scoop team consisting of X-Men's Wolverinie Hugh Jackman and Scarlett Johansson, the stellar (eye candy) cast already set tongues wagging as to whether they'll be able to live up to the hype of Nolan's long awaited movie directly challenging the other picture about Victorian magicians, The Illusionist.

Take sun control to a whole new level for your building. Though these events sowed the seeds of implacable hatred, but it is the unremitting yearning of their perpetually insatiable egos to outperform each other that eventually drives them to perdition.

Director Christopher Nolan has a proclivity for warped narratives (Memento) and in The Prestige he serves up a deliciously twisty tale, puffed full of magic theatricality and inventive cinematic devices. The obsession of Robert Angier is what drives the plot of the movie, and is well established and doesn't even feel forced. Omg. Sometimes it's even more fun to view a film like this when you know a few things, because earlier scenes take on new meaning.

Every so often I see a film that I get addicted to. Magician Robert sees the Borden's transportation show and he becomes obsessed with his magic trick. Comfort.

It is such a well-written, layered, intense, character driven story on par with Faustus or Jekyll and Hyde in terms of characters that are overly driven by their obsessions.
