Just saw this tonight. Fantastic movie which is currently sitting at 74% on the Rotten Tomatoes (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/prestige/) meter.
It stars Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman as two rival magicians during the turn of the century (19th, that is). Scarlett Johansson also makes a lovely supporting appearance, and Michael Caine is fantastic as John Cutter. The movie is directed by Christopher Nolan, who also did Memento and Batman Begins. It is all about twists and turns, and I recommend you go in there ready to pay attention. It takes a little while to figure out the triple-layered time scheme, but once this movie gets going it doesn't let you go. Some of the major plot twists had the entire audience going "wtf!" and "no way!" which was really enjoyable.
The Prestige is definitely recommended - check this one out!
