You need a sharp brain to follow the movie. Your kid might flood you with questions. The end might confuse you but, if you keep thinking, you will find the answer if you were watching closely.

*I though this was a VERY interesting movie with twists and turns the whole time. *Somewhat violent with some language and sensuality. *The main characters constantly result to violence and harming each other for personal gain. Not good role models for kids.

The Prestige is stunning thriller, about two rival magicians. They were once partners until a tradgic loss. The Prestige is brave and daring. And the acting is absolutly amazing, Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, and Michael Cane deliver a hell of performance. Language is very minimal. And all-around supurb movie. A must see thriller.

Of the two movies released in 2006 about magicians in the 19th century, The Illusionist is much better than The Prestige. The Illusionist focused more on constructing a better movie and appealing to people who want to think during the movie. The Prestige, however, is much more centered to Friday night movie-goers who want a more action-oriented film. THe plot for The Prestige began good enough, but as the movie progressed it became less and less realistic in trying to make people who saw the movie that it was smart. But it shows, and all of the "twists" are seen much too easily before they are presented. *Possible Spoilers* The first one was obvious as soon as Jackman's character returned to Europe, and the second one was obvious when they led Bale's character away from Fallon in the jail. *End Spoilers* I really can't agree with any of the below reviewers that this film was either confusing or "the best film ever". It was still good, and I do understand that with a film about magic the viewer is supposed to put aside any doubts about reality, but in this case, it was too visibly obvious that the film tried too hard. If you actually think during this film or are even semi-conscious, than the film won't come off as it did to the viewers below. If you want a decent movie for Friday nights whose plot doesn't have to be very stable or confusing, than The Prestige is right for you. If you are looking for something better, than The Illusionist comes with higher reccommendations (and film accolades, too). However, if you see The Prestige first and think The Illusionist took the twist from The Prestige, just remember that The Illusionist came out many months before.

I think ONE of the best movie ever. Clean for most

I went to see it with my boyfriend, it was a little slow at first, but it started to kick off like... 10 minutes after it started.. I think everybody should see this movie
