Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale star as feuding illusionists in Christopher Nolan's dark mystery

With his interest in competing narratives, truth and falsehood, it was perhaps inevitable Nolan would turn to the world of magic. Here, rival illusionists (Bale and Jackman) become outright enemies after a trick in 1890s London goes fatally wrong; their obsessive efforts to outwit and damage each other last years, allowing the story - narrated (but how reliably?) by a colleague (Caine) - to cut back and forth in time and place. Elegant, engrossing, ingenious, it also features Andy Serkis, David Bowie (as Nikola Tesla) and real-life magician Ricky Jay.
