So how did the last one know not to reveal himself to pin the murder on Wolverine?
.

There are two explanations, one is after they recalibrated the machine so it's not the clone that gets teleported.. or teleported each time. They said they would recalibrate it and he said that it was hard doing it each time not knowing whether he'd come out as the copy or not.. although thats subject ot interpretation.. maybe the hardness was the fear of coming out as the one that died. The other is that it doesn't matter - no matter who the clone is, they both know what's going on - when he first shot "himself" the clone knew what was happening he just didn't have a gun... the clone isn't a blank slate copy - doesn't need to be taught how to talk and the alphabet etc.

Maybe I'm over thinking it. And when did American Pyscho become the good guy? It's like he was just as much of an asshole as Wolverine, so why should he get the last laugh? Why should he get to live? I know his twin brother died (which was a tad far fetched) but whatever.

Yeah I was the same.. I actually sympathised more with Hugh Jackman's character. They were both assholes but Bale killed his wife and Michael Caine snitched to Bale about him still being alive and taking his kid and got him killed. If it was two assholes on their wit alone.. Jackman should have won really..

Mine was too tired and fell asleep half through. Spent the same time explaining what really happened.

An awesome movie indeed. Kind of strange that it came out almost at the same time as The Illusionist.

I liked the Prestige up until the point they turned it into a supernatural cloning thing. That ruined it for me. Just seemed kinda silly.

Liked the Illusionist though

hahaha,....i can see that picture...it was a smart and tricky ending...but if you think about all the clues, it comes together....the clones of all the hats, why the men took the big booth out every might, etc.....
