B+ Boston Globe Ty Burr "...Jackman and Bale are committed to their parts: Genuine madness glints in their eyes." more... B   Chicago Tribune "I prefer The Illusionist, the movie that got here first." more... B- E! Online Matt Stevens "...Nolan¿s slick sleight of hand creates enough abracadabra moments to make for an entertaining diversion." more... B   Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman "...an aggressively devious sleight-of-hand thriller..." more... B+ filmcritic.com Sean O'Connell "...stunningly handsome, but don't let your eyes wander too deep into the scenery or you'll likely miss an important twist." more... A   Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt "A great magic act -- fun while it lasts but leaves no lasting memory." more... B- New York Post Kyle Smith "It kept me fully ensorcelled for two hours, but a gimmick thriller is like a football game: It's all about those last 10 minutes..." more... B- New York Times A. O. Scott "...an intricate and elaborate machine designed for the simple purpose of diversion." more... B   Rolling Stone Peter Travers "Nolan directs the film exactly like a great trick, so you want to see it again the second it's over. I'd call that wicked clever." more... A- San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "Once the grimness descends, it never lifts." more... C- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Paula Nechak "If you can forgive some woeful casting and a plot that is as creakingly thin as an old staircase, you can enjoy director Christopher Nolan's The Prestige." more... C+ USA Today Claudia Puig "...a visually stunning, startlingly clever sleight of hand that will have audiences pondering well after the lights go up." more... A- * Yahoo!
