The Prestige

Starring: Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Cane, Piper Perabo, Rebecca Hall

Directed by: Christopher Nolan

RS: 3.5of 4 Stars Average User Rating: 3.5of 4 Stars

Memento director Christopher Nolan continues to impress with this masterfully crafted dark fable of an obsessive game of one-upmanship between two magicians in turn-of-the-century London. The rivals are perfectly matched -- Hugh Jackman keeps his brow righteously furrowed, while Christian Bale is fantastically inscrutable. Plus there's a genius turn by David Bowie as Nikola Tesla. Here's a thriller that keeps you guessing right up to the end, and nowadays that's some trick.

Good movie and big ups to Bowie lookin like Tom Skeritt, but this was one of the single stupidest endings to a movie I've ever witnessed. Wanna know why it keeps you guessing till the end? No one with half a brain saw that coming because it's so absurd.
