The Prestige

This movie was excellent. I think Christopher Nolan is my new favorite director. The story is as crafty as the magicians it contains. So many twists and turns, and all of them believable. Foreshadowing filled the story all over, but never telegraphing what would come next. I don't know much about the historical accuracy of the main characters, but I understand that the Tesla character existed and made amazing electrical discoveries that were lost to history due to vicious feuds with Thomas Edison. Even the actors accents were a convincing illusion. The British characters were played by Americans. And the Americans were played very convincingly by Brits (Andy Serkis and David Bowie).
