Tim Portis’s review:
This is one of that rare movies that just improves each time you see it. Even when all the secrets are known, there is still immense pleasure in watching everything play out. Are you watching closely?
This is one of my least favorite Nolan films, but it's still damn good.
I loved this one. I saw it the day after The Dark Knight Rises and liked it a lot more. It was on my mind for several days after.
Just a side note. I watched The Dark Knight Rises, The Prestige and rewatched The Fighter the same week. It made me laugh that...

...Bale goes to prison in all three. Poor guy :)
Next up The Machinist and a rewatch of American Psycho.
@or3 The Machinist is excellent. It's my favorite overall performance by Bale.
I watched The Machinist yesterday. I did enjoy it but it didn't make much sense. What did the stuff at work have to do with anything? Why couldn't he recognise himself in the photo. Why and when did he leave the post-its? Why doesn't he remember leaving them?
