I’m in constant need of more of those. I’ll take them in whatever form they come. I’m a sucker every time.

Great cast (Michael Caine! Christian Bale!) Amazing visual imagery (Hats, lots of Hats falling). Some of the twists were a bit predictable, but in a way that made them feel like twist in the gut.

Really though Michael Caine’s performance was great, like a great loaf of french bread.

As similar as they are, they were actually quite different. “The Illusionist” was almost minimalist and elegant in its plot. “The Prestige” was very complex, but holds up quite well in the way it’s structured. “The Prestige” was also pretty creepy, but it was more intellectually creepy than gory.

I thought it was pretty good. I’ve actually seen it twice and didn’t get bored the second time through.
