The Prestige (2006)
I liked this film marginally better than the other one: The Illusionist. Partly because the Illusionist was more predictable. The Prestige has quite an interesting twist or two in the end. Plus it has Hugh Jackman (who apparently is left-handed). The idea that magicians of old had huge egos and competitive drives is pushed to the extreme with these two movies. Prima donnas with dark pasts and willing to dance with the devil to be claimed the best magician. Incomprehensible to my mind, but I suppose I’ve always been a person of modest ambition.
