The Prestige

"Every great magic trick consists of three acts. The first act is called "The Pledge"; The magician shows you something ordinary, but of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn"; The magician makes his ordinary some thing do something extraordinary. Now if you're looking for the secret... you won't find it, that's why there's a third act called, "The Prestige"; this is the part with the twists and turns, where lives hang in the balance, and you see something shocking you've never seen before."

The Nolan brothers are superb screenwriters; Jackman's a prince to look at; Bale is alluringly brooding; and Chris Nolan is a genius.

Loved his work on 'Batman Begins' and this movie was close behind, although not better.

Finally a good movie this season after all the shoddy and disappointing ones. It's gripping and captivatingly convoluted that it keeps you thinking as the story unfolds. It leaves alot to imagine and to decipher - which event comes first, and whether the scenes were chronologically ordered or if they were in retrospect.

Great plot, great development, and great acting (and not to forget, great hunks too =P ).

I think I've just scored a brilliant summer movie.
