An excellent movie about two magicians competing against each other with weird, strange, & bizarre apparatuses.

This Nolan film is deeply underrated. It is mind boggling and even better during the second watch. Jackman and Bale both put in remarkable performances that embody obsessing over greatness. Just the ending would make it worth while.
