Jake Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Anyone seen it? I only got round to seeing this today. Great movie, really enjoyed it. Christian Bale is excellent and Scarlett Johansson is quite easy on the eye too. I don't usually like Michael Caine but he was good in this. The plot is brilliant, I thought. (Please don't mention anything that would spoil it for folks that haven't seen The Prestige yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I thought the book was better. It's still a good film though. I'm a big fan of Christian Bale. He's going to get an Oscar soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Christian Bale rocks.. him in American Psyco - one of my fave films! He was Oscar winner by miles the year that The Machinist was eligible. Not even on the short-list though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 Oh CB is the same guy that was the skinny guy in The Machinist? I didn't realize that. That was also a good film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Oh CB is the same guy that was the skinny guy in The Machinist? I didn't realize that. That was also a good film. It was indeed him. I think I posted an article about him and how he lost all that weight (method acting and then some) and then bulked up for Batman Begins. He's also Welsh, you know. Still a great actor despite a natural handicap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Yes, he was in EotS too. In that pic, doesn't Spielberg look like a cross between Brad Pitt and Johnny Knoxville of Jackass fame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazla Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 yes its a really good film with a superb twist. Another great film similar to this is The illusionist staring Edward Norton, now the twist in that is superp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 That is one weird film! Have you read the book. Even weirder and more violent. Actually it's only one of two books that I've actually not enjoyed reading despite being well written etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I don't read all that much (which I should do really, cuz I enjoy it) but I am in the middle of a book at the moment called Trail Of The Dead by Jon Evans It's brilliant!!!

Gaz Walker Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Will have to get that. Plus you can't go wrong with Scarlett Johansson and Piper Perabo in the same film Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
