Time Out

The who's-bilking-whom mind games make for compelling fun, but once the presto moment of The Prestige is revealed, you're left with nothing but shattered illusions.

Beyond Hollywood

"The Prestige" is a cinematic trick, nothing more, and the deadpan seriousness is part of the effect, and not an end in itself.

Film and Felt

Until an inexplicably awful revelation at the end, The Prestige is a taut, exciting portrait of obsession and the dark competitive spirit of professional magicians.

Chicago Sun-Times

It's quite a movie -- atmospheric, obsessive, almost satanic.

Show me a director better suited for a movie about magic than Christopher Nolan and I'll show you... a magician?

New York Observer

The film is lavishly mounted, set-wise, costume-wise, makeup-wise and special-effects-wise. But the magicians themselves are cold and devious, and the chill permeates the whole film.

Boston Phoenix

Although the slowish pacing early on over-indicates how both magicians' marquee misdirection (a disappearing act) will be achieved, The Prestige still manages a neat trick of its own.

Time Out

Not only does it tell you how it's all done, it takes so long about it that you've got time to look up its sleeves and work it out for yourself.

Ebert & Roeper

Jackman and Bale give standout performances as rivals whose mutual obsession destroys all sense of perspective and ruins lives.

In a movie about people who make their livings on misdirection, The Prestige utterly forgets to employ its own.

The film is never less than engaging, though considering that the title The Prestige refers to the moment in a magic act that gives it its "wow" factor, it's kind of a shame that the ultimate "reveal" in the movie is a little too tricky for its own good.
