Sep 6, 2007 · Roger Ebert praises the atmosphere and obsession of Christopher Nolan's "The Prestige", a film about two rival magicians in Victorian London. He criticizes the plot for cheating the audience with an implausible twist that violates the rules of magic.
The Prestige begins with shots of several dozen top hats inexplicably strewn about in a forest. Cutter (Michael Caine), in voiceover, explains the three parts of a magic trick while performing a disappearing bird trick for a little girl. Part one is the pledge, where the magician shows you something ordinary, like a bird.
Desperate to reveal each other's secrets, two rival magicians begin to perform increasingly risky tricks -- which soon turn deadly. Watch trailers & learn more.
