Every Christopher Nolan film ranked from worst to best
The Prestige (2006)
The Prestige seems to be regarded as one of Nolan’s lesser films, perhaps because, like its two warring illusionists, it simply wants to put on a show. Indeed, despite portraying the real-life father of electricity Nikola Tesla (a magnetic David Bowie), this Victorian London, steampunk-indebted caper largely saws all logic and reason in half, utilising everything from secret identical twins to teleportation machines to pull the rug from under its audience’s feet. Bale and Hugh Jackman are also pitch perfect as the longtime rivals whose battle of one-upmanship comes at a repeatedly deadly cost. It’s Nolan at his sleight-of-hand best.
