Movie Review - The Prestige

The Prestige is a curious mix of thriller, puzzle and morality play and fails to impress as any of them, however it is a really well presented yarn with a great cast. Sadly it failed the Mrs Stuffy test and she dropped off for a little snooze in the middle. The frustration with that is of course the inevitable conversation on the way home. "why did he?", "who was the man in the hat?", "why did she do that?".
Still it does foster conversation unlike most television which, (for us at least) only generates dialogue along the line of "why are you watching that load of old pony"
