The Prestige 2006

Our Take (by The Staff)

This movie will first confuse your perception of the narrative with a feud involving the two magicians (played by Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale), but you will soon be hooked by the twists and turns of the plot. The unveiling of the mystery will leave you in awe, however it is the storytelling and the process that Christopher Nolan puts together so beautifully that is the greatest thing about this movie.

Notable Critics

"Although the film's stunning reveals make the audience realise it has been duped... there is a protagonist to empathise with each time."

— Graham Fuller
