Customer Reviews

Listen… do you want to know a secret?

Do you promise not to tell? The first part is called the pledge. The second act is called the turn. The third part is the prestige. This movie, “The Prestige,” starts out looking like any other formula rival movie you know pretty much how it is going to end; yet you are intrigued with the details of the journey. We have seen twists and turns before and are no stranger to them, so we expect twists and turns during and at the end of the movie, or do we? Two friends who are aspiring magicians take part in a tragedy that will change their lives. Do these magicians care about anybody or anything, or are they just intent on doing one trick better and knowing the other person's secrets? Who is to say what magic is? During this movie is almost impossible to take your eyes off the ball. So, you may not realize that a lot of the best acting was done by Michael Caine as Cutter, the man who helps everybody throughout the movie. Now I know there are still a few of you out there that are intrigued with the details of the presentation, such as Blu-Ray. However, it is time now to realize that we are raising just one more tool, and it is now commonplace. However, I can tell you that you will not be disappointed.
