Advantages: Great charecters, script. Disadvantages: Not much at all
From the director that brought us Memento and the two latest Batman films, Christopher Nolan excels himself with this dramatic thriller, The Prestige.
The Plot
The film begins with Michael Caine's character telling a young girl about a magic trick. Each magic trick has three parts, the Pledge, the Turn and then finally The Prestige.
The film follows two starting magicians, Angier and Borden. They start off as good friends but then turn into rivals when Angier's wife is killed in a magic trick that went wrong.
The two spend the film, trying to work out each other's secrets and ruin their tricks, eventually ruining their livelihood.
Borden then however discovers a trick, the ultimate trick. This trick makes Angier loose his mind trying to work out how the hell Borden does this trick.
The Characters

Advantages: Expertly layered & constructed plot, great performances Disadvantages: Some may see the ending coming?
For a good year or so, this film was sitting on my shelf unloved and unwatched - when I was eventually drawn to it after I realised it had been directed by Christopher Nolan (of Memento, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight ...), I discovered just what I'd been missing.

Advantages: Nonstop Enmity Disadvantages: The conflict are looks too long, so sometimes makes bored too..
Background in 19th century London, two ambitious magician Robert and Alfred Borden compete for a position as the most prestigious magician.
The story begins with the court against Borden indictment with the murder of Robert, told in flashback how the two magician are compete, starting with their meeting as magician and how a tragedy occurred in a magic show, so the loss of Roberts wife. Since then they both separate and choose the way of life as magician to achieve a Prestige.
In a way that is not underhanded and casual Robert and Borden each other trying throw each other on the stage. Masquerade as a spectator and sabotage performance is a matter that they do to each throw.
Technical magic, competition in the making, learn, or steal magic tricks with the indicated interest in this film. Border Robert and each has qualified ...
