The Prestige

"Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts."

The Pledge:
You might think this is yet another ordinary movie about the extraordinaire: magicians.
Don't be fooled. Pay close attention to every minor detail, or none at all, if you so wish.

The Turn:
Nolan transforms the extraordinary into something even better, something almost elusive to the normal viewer. His style, story, cinematography, writing, score is, as always, exceptional.

The Prestige:
Together with the great performances by Bale, Jackman and Caine, you will have witnessed "The Prestige" first hand by the end of the movie and it's simply amazing.

10/10 - Nolan does it again. A masterpiece in every regard. Worth watching many times.

"Are you watching closely?"

Just mindblowing. It's strange watching it the second time round knowing the secrets but it's a completely different but delightful experience. I do wish that I could watch films like these with fresh eyes sometimes though. Nolan's a genius. Simple.

watched the prestige recently and i'm down to recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it, great movie

I was enjoying this all the way through, thought it was pretty solid. A few twists and turns came, I thought them rather predictable, but still, I was getting ready to rate this a solid 8/10. Then the final twist came and I blurted out a loud "holy shit."

Masterful. Simply masterful. I wish I could watch it for the first time again.

A very compelling script and complete at the same time. Fits in accordance that it was in front of you all the time but you wanted to be fooled trying to find in some magic and ignoring the usual. What excellent performances, what an engaging screenplay ! Also liked the fact that revelation occurs exactly at the same time for both the magicians.

One of the movies that burn the brain and make the end wow. Really, Nolan is doing this job very well.

“Wait, how long have I been watching this for, 40 mins? 50? 60 max maybe?”


Checks time...
It was at the 1hr and 40m mark.

Man this movie flew by.

What does it mean to give your all to your art, and what does that mean? So many broad and important questions that are at the heart of this brilliant film… All this for what? For whom? And at what price… A fast-paced, exciting, beautifully performed film, in short, perfect… A revelation supplement that makes you want to watch the film again right away

Nolan's best movie I've seen so far, simply genius and magnificent
