The Prestige

 This was something of a late booking. I was looking after my father last night. I got back later than I intended. I noticed that The Prestige was due to leave Amazon Prime, and I thought why not

It is fine. I wasn't really as engaged in this as I should be

The film looks beautiful, even a Victorian prison looks clean

The cast is great. Bale, Johansson, Caine, and Hugh Jackman oh and Piper Perabo 

Oh and lots of famous faces- Gill from Frasier, and Morgan Sheppard

I see reading this that Rodger Rees, who stars in this film passed away in 2015. I am sorry to learn this. Having very much enjoyed his performances here, in The West Wing, and as Robin Concord in Cheers

This is a film of surprising accents. Christian Bale plays a Londoner- and he sounds odd. I don't know if that is because I hear London accents daily. A young and luminous Scarlet Johansson plays his assistant

Again  Scarlett doing a British accent Which surprised me. Her accent was not bad

This is a story of a feud between 2 century stage magicians - though really it is a steam punk fantasy. We even see Bowie play Tesla -doing a Croatian accent

I should give it more time. I wonder if it will be remembered more fondly that Nolan's Batman in the future
