การให้คะแนนและรีวิว

An immersive and thoroughly enjoyable film. Brings a lot to the table and draws you into its world through amazing character acting and intricate set designs. Someone spoiled the twist for me at the end and I still enjoyed the ride and felt the impact of the "big reveal" or "prestige".... actually I probably appreciated it more.... which just goes to show how well conceived the movie is. It sets you up for a lot of things early on and delivers in spades later. Well worth $5 for a watch with some friends.

Simple, maybe, but not easy. Watch the ultimate competition of two magicians trying to one-up the other at all cost.

Excellent storytelling to hide one of the twists on plain sight from the very beginning, but there is more than one twist. The human aspects of the changing relationships is well done.
