Review of The Prestige (2006) by James H — 10 Feb 2017

The prestige, like Christopher Nolan himself, is miles ahead of its time. Quite frankly, it is nothing short of a masterpiece. No other director puts as much effort and subliminal thought into each take like he does.

Even little parts of the film that you don't think mean anything become crucial parts of the story. The cast are all brilliant with Hugh Jackman giving the performance of his career. You spend the entire film trying to figure things out like which of the two is the villain of the film but there is no clear villain.

Nolan leaves you wondering even until the final shot.
