Dove Review

“Prestige” has a very interesting premise and many twists and turns along its magical ride. Wonderful acting and writing captivate you and draw you into the story of the two entertaining magicians who get caught up in competing against each other and stealing each other’s secrets. The film falls out of reach for the family audience with some major sexual indiscretions and degenerate behavior. Also the violence, while not shown graphically, is gruesome in its context and its significance.
