The Prestige

Oy! What a fantastic movie! Too often I find myself watching movies that are absolutely predictable for me. Not because I’m brilliant or anything, but when I was younger, it was always a competition between my mom and I as to who would figure it all out first, so it’s just how my mind works now when I’m watching a movie.

I really wish Piper Perabo had a longer spiel in this movie. I loved her character.

God, the intensity between Angier and Borden was absolute perfection. It’s just what I would expect out of two men with their connection, plus a little bit of movie flair as well.

The twists–oh man, while some were predictable, the sheer volume of twists that were done perfectly just made it all amazing. I loved figuring something out, having it confirmed, and then in a split, it changed. The amazing thing was, you’d find out and think “Omg! That fits so well! It should’ve been so obvious!”

I wasn’t completely satisfied with the ending. There were a few things I thought they could’ve done that would’ve been better, but I can’t really complain as good as it was.

I highly recommend this one. I hope to own this one soon so I can watch it a few more times.
