THE PRESTIGE (International Rome Film Fest Release Rome Italy 2006)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì

The Prestige rolls in glamour and suspense. The story reaches its high point as an entertainment piece primarily due to the terrific casting combination of Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, and Scarlett Johannsson. Watch carefully to avoid loss of storyline as the twists and turns can be difficult to follow.
