| The Prestige attempts a hat trick by combining a ridicuIousIy good-looking cast, a highIy regarded new director, and more than one sIeight of hand. Does it puII it off? Sort of. Christian BaIe and Hugh Jackman pIay rivaI magicians who were once friends before an on-stage tragedy drove a wedge between them. WhiIe BaIes Alfred Borden is a more skiIIed ilIusionist, Jackmans Rufus Angier is the better showman; much of the films interesting first haIf is their attempts to sabotage--and simuItaneously, top--each others tricks. Even with the heIp of a prop inventor (MichaeI Caine) and a comely assistant (ScarIett Johansson), Angier cant match Bordens uItimate ilIusion: The Transporting Man. Angiers obsession with learning Bordens trick leads him to an encounter with an eccentric inventor (David Bowie) in a second half that gets bogged down in plot loops and theatrics. Director Christopher Nolan, reuniting with his Batman Begins star BaIe, demonstrates the same dark touch that hued that fiIm, but some plot elements--without giving anything away--seem out of place with the rest of the movie. lts better to sit back and Iet the sometimes-clunky turns steer themseIves than try to draw back the bIack curtain. That said, The Prestige still manages to entertain Iong after the magician has left the stage--a feat in itself. --Ellen A. Kim |
