The Prestige (2006) | Movie Review | Fifth in Christopher Nolan Movie Review Series
A mere 16 months after Nolan's blockbuster hit Batman Begins, he decided to take step back in time to create a twisted story about warring magicians at the turn of the century with a bit of historical fiction for good taste. The director stuck with Christian Bale (Batman) and Michael Kane (Alfred) but brought on Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) for good measure. With a smaller budget, smaller opening weekend, and smaller worldwide gross--audiences and critics left the theater (or never went) scratching their heads wondering why Nolan took a pit stop from the dark knight to create a long period piece. At the time audiences considered Batman Begins to be a far better movie, but time has been kind to this film; now, audiences view The Prestige the as 47th greatest film of all time. 14 years later do the twists and turns still enthrall Corbin and Allen or do they find the film just a bit stuffy? Join Corbin and Allen as they review The Prestige to find out!
