| | Rolling Stone : The Prestige : Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | The Prestige is something far more interesting: a slow burn, intelligent piece of work, powered by a captivating character struggle, with a cleverly constructed, confounding narrative that is spellbindingly intriguing throughout, before building to a dazzling and spectacularly twisted climax. |
 | | Come the final third, when the plot explodes with dramatics, the two characters have been realised with so many layers that you simply are no longer able to work out their capabilities or predict their actions – just like all good magicians. |
 | | You’ll be transfixed by the dangerous games played by the two central characters, riveted by the outstanding performances, bewildered by Nolan’s tricky, daring and imaginative plotting and, when all is finally revealed, gob-smacked by a tense and sensational finale. |
