This or The Prestige?


Which won best illustrates a set-up and reveal?

The Sting.

I agree. The first time I watched "The Sting," I was taken by surprise.

With "The Prestige," it was absolutely expected that there would be some off-the-wall twist, because that's just what Christopher Nolan does.

Yes, this movie calls for the ultimate con!

Yeah, "The Sting" is much better.

It's a good film, while "The Prestige" is a fail. It started falling apart halfway through, and by the time I got to the twist ending I was rolling my eyes at everything.
