Review of The Prestige (2006) by Buggy B — 10 Jan 2014

This was better than I was expecting; dark, twisty, stylish and suspenseful. You really get taken back to the Victorian era, a great period piece. Following two stage magicians as they try to one-up and destroy each over the course of their careers, always searching for that next great trick and ultimately revenge after Alfred (Christian Bale) is accidentally responsible for the death of Robert's (Hugh Jackman) wife (Piper Perabo) The audience is left trying to figure out many twists and while I "got" the how's of one of them ending up in jail I didn't figure out the big reveal at the end.

Michael Caine plays their mentor, a neat cameo from David Bowie. 12.13.
