The Prestige (Nolan, 2006)
The Prestige might have worked for me if I felt for one second that Hugh Jackman was obsessed with anything. His calm rationality prevents the film from it's attempt to crescendo in the last act with Jackman finally "getting his hands dirty".
If Nolan had an eye for performances he might have caught on and saved his movie. But his actors always vary wildly in their performances so that is really no surprise. Still it is great to see Andy Serkis in anything.
