The Prestige - 2006 - 8/10
A pair of London magicians continuously raise the stakes to outdo each other.
Rivalry escalated into theft and sabotage, bitterness and winner-take-all mentality.
Styles are showmanship versus technical savvy.
Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale inspired casting at the feuding pair.
David Bowie unforgettable in surprise role.
Film rewards numerous watches, revealing more themes, subtexts, symbolism.
Pledge, turn, prestige – wonderfully done.
