Review: The Prestige
It’s nice to go see a movie with confidence. Confidence in the director (Chris Nolan, with a wonderful track record of Memento, Insomnia and Batman Begins) and confidence you’re gonna figure out the plot before the end. Of course, at the end, you’ll figure out you’ve pulled the wrong end again, and on top of that, you’ll get a wonderful intricate rivalrous story for extra depth.
It goes without saying there will be people who don’t get the plot, and there are some that will take theories far beyond the movie, but that’s what you usually get with these gems.7½.
