I'm sorry but: While the period piece looks great and the plot is fairly twisted and keeps us guessing at what we are possibly missing, which should be entertaining. At the end of the movie we are left with a big why? OK, OK there is obviously the rivalry between the 'bad' twin played by Bale and the clone destroying Angier. And at the end they both lose pretty much everything they cared for coz of caring most for out competing each other. I'm left with scratching my head, if any sane person got his hands on a machine that could clone anything, why would they simply use it to kill their clones. Or if two twins really loved two separate women why would they agree to swap them among themselves for the sake of a useless plot device? Cost of playing a Chung_Ling_Soo like character all their life? I don't think so. Not to mention, what happened to the drunken double of Angier that outsmarted him?
