Short review
''The Prestige'' is a very complicated and very nonlinear film. Christopher Nolan does a brilliant work, and it is a well-directed, well-written, well-made and well-acted film. The plot is about two magicians, Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Borden (Christian Bale), who had once been friends but then turned rivals as Angier believes Borden had killed his wife (Piper Perabo) during a trick. Over the time, the rivalry becomes strong as Angier tries to prove himself as a better magician and works hard to know the secrets behind Borden's most surprising trick, and eventually there are revelations. A very well-made film it is. I really liked the cinematography. It is a dark and good-looking picture. Well, the revelation is also good. But I think after watching 2 hours of complicated elements, extremely complicated, I didn't really have interest in the ending. So, this movie wasn't very fine with me. (That doesn't mean it is a bad film. It is a good film, but you just have to have patience while watching it).
