Last night I saw The Prestige with Jules. I think we started watching it around midnight. If I had to rate it I’d give it a 7/10. The twists and turns of the story were good and I liked Scarlett Johansson and Hugh Jackman but I thought Christian Bale was only so so in his role. I don’t really know what else to say without spoiling the movie for anyone who might want to see it, so I leave you with the synopsis from FilmSpot:
From acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan (“Memento,” “Batman Begins”), comes a mysterious story of two magicians whose intense rivalry leads them on a life-long battle for supremacy full of obsession, deceit and jealousy with dangerous and deadly consequences. Based on Christopher Priest’s 1996 novel, Alfred (Christian Bale) and Rupert (Hugh Jackman) are two rival magicians in 19th century London. When Alfred performs the ultimate magic trick, Rupert tries desperately to find out the secret to the trick. However, he then begins to realize that it may not be a trick at all.
