Default The Prestige

The prestige
Directed by:
Christopher Nolan

Starcast:

Hugh Jackman
Christian Bale
Michael Caine
Piper Perabo
Rebecca Hall
Scarlett Johansson
Samantha Mahurin

After watching masterpieces of Nolan's work which included, Batman begins, and Memento. I was a lil sceptical whether the movie will live upto its expectations.

And was I surprised, as the movie turned out to be beautiful, second best movie of the year after Departed. Beautifully shot period story about the rivalry of two magicians in the late 19th Century, the lead characters played by Hugh Jackman, and Christian Bale. Both are seasoned actors, and gave sterling performance in the movie. Special credit to Christian Bale who has acted just beautifully, I always thought Batman Begins was a one off movie of his, but he has proved detractors wrong here, playing a magician who has shades of grey. Micahel Caine is at his usual best playing a trickmaster's role here.

The story lives to its period, characters are consumed by professionaly jealousy, which ruins their personal life as well as their sanity. Beautiful screenplay depicting the intricasies of a magicians tricks, and how fiercely are they guarded. I will not divulge much on the storyline, but its a movie to watch for sure.

he only shortcomings I feel, was the ending which I felt was a little too far fetched, but thats a minor dent in an overall awesome movie.

Would give it 9/10

It's a great movie. I wouldn't give it a 9/10, but a 7.75 or an 8/10 - It starts off quite slow to be honest, and tends to lose it's pace. However, post interval, it's just fantastic!

The twists, the deceit - Oh, and I had the end bit figured out soon as "The Great Danton" got the machine - gotta say, he's got A LOT of courage to pull that off, either that or traded the last shred of his morality to the devil himself.
