The Prestige

It's so frustrating to see this film, and not be able to tell you anything that happens in it. Because everything would be a spoiler. But the simple explanation is: Two 19th century stage magicians are friends, something happens, and then other things happen because of it.

Previous reviews are all correct: everything is relevant.

Saxon Top Tip: Do not take a drink into the cinema. Go to the bathroom BEFORE this starts and don't take any noisy food in. And consider going for the latest showing to avoid the noisy kiddies going to the loo every five minutes. Because if you miss anything in this movie, you'll be lost and confused later.

That's not to say that you need to remember a lot of what goes on. It's just that later in the film, certain events will occur and you'll go "Ooohhhhhhhh....."

OQ: A kind of wet crunching noise, which was my brain going through a paradigm shift.

Score: Solid gold B+
