The Prestige

The prestige, the final act of the three acts of a magic show, the act that will leave the audience astounded, mystified, shocked and overwhelmed. With the success of a prestige, acclaimed magicians will always want to find out that secret, how the trick was being done.

Robert Angier and Alfred Borden were two friends when they began their career as magicians. Through an accident that caused the death of Angier's wife, their friendship turned into hatred, which leads to rivalry. With the prestige of an ultimate trick, their rivalry evolves to a battle that promises to tear their lives down and affect everyone around them.

Intense. That's the word to describe the movie. It keeps you to the edge of your seat through the brilliant performance by Hugh Jackman (Robert Angier) and Christian Bale (Alfred Borden). To see both in a movie was almost *dreamy*, as I admire both actors a lot. Hugh Jackman is best known for being Wolverine in the X-Men series, whereas Christian Bale as Batman Begins (which I love thoroughly, can't wait for the sequel!).

This is a must watch for people who love drama, thrills, twist and turn of plots.
