My Review: The movie on a whole is GOOD. I don't understand why the director has spoiled the climax. I mean the taking of the last part of the movie hardly impressed me. The way he got the thought for the story line and the way he approached was really great. But still in the end, he did not impress me in the climax.

Hugh Jackman was simply good, so was Christian Bale. From my view, Michael Caine played an important role which was'nt highlighted. As per the story: Hugh who plays Robert Angier, a great magician of his type and time, Christian Bale plays Alfred Borden also known as The Transporter Man in the movie, are both magicians. They start as friends, A Friendship That Turns to Rivalry. A Rivalry that becomes a Battle. And this battle leads to the death of the cast one by one.

Michael Caine who plays Cutter, is the chief organizer of events of a magician under whom Angier and Borden are assistants. He keeps saying one thing through out the movie "Every great Magic trick has three acts behind it:
(1) The Pledge
(2) The Turn
(3) THE PRESTIGE

The pledge is where every magician shows his audience something true. The turn is where he shows something not unique. And when he trys doing this, then comes the "THE PRESTIGE".

Well personally I like the movie a lot, just that the ending(climax) did not impress me a lot.

To know whats there in the movie, you have to check that on the big screen.
