My love for Christopher Nolan is not a secret, but somehow I have never got round to seeing The Prestige. I've heard mixed reviews; Nolanites have told me it's amazing, other film fans have said it's not great. Being that I'm a borderline Nolanite, I thought I would fall into the amazing camp.

Turns out, I'm not sure where I sit.

There were parts I enjoyed; there is a great cast and the build up of the mystery is brilliant; but the ending left me perplexed and wondering 'is that it?'

All in all, a really good film let down but a slightly ridiculous ending.
