The prestige was a bit too difficult to comprehend, unlike the illusionist which has a simpler concept. The story was reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet minus the tragedy. Acting was pretty basic, not much skill was used in their performances. I was definitely mesmerized by Biel’s beauty but not her acting. Norton’s illusions were almost entertaining, but I rather wished he had done more. Like something that would blow one’s mind. At the end of it all everybody got what they deserved. The main characters making out and bad guy in jail whoopee.
