Lot's of FX and no story. Flat characters and poorly told.

Best magical movie ever definitely my number two movie of all time number one being Armageddon.the four horsemen couldent have been played by better actors and actress.isla fisher is awesome.😃

The closer you think you are, the less you'll actually see.

Now You See Me is directed by Louis Leterrier and collectively written by Ed Solomon, Boaz Yakin and Edward Ricourt. It stars Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Mélanie Laurent, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Michael Kelly. Music is by Brian Tyler and cinematography by Mitchell Amundsen and Larry Fong.

An F.B.I. Agent and an Interpol Detective are tracking a team of illusionists who appear to be pulling off bank heists during their performances. Real magic? Or elaborate criminology?.

We are in the realm of the fantastical, where illusions and impossible tricks reside. It's a nifty backdrop to this splendidly flashy slice of misdirection hokum. Our four magicians, each with their own personal skills - and calling themselves "The Four Horsemen" - enact a number of elaborate stage shows that has all members of the law baffled.

Their rich benefactor played by Caine, is smug about his charges, Freeman is the myth buster trying to unearth the secrets of the "four", while the cops are constantly pulling their hair out. What does it all mean? How will it pan out at the end?. Well it's great fun, the tricks are expertly staged, the cast give gravitas to their respective characters, if only the big reveal at the end wasn't a bit too far out there...

There's a bit of a steal and a nod to another heist caper film, while that finale can make or break your overall opinion of the piece. Yet the journey is so enjoyable and intriguing, it's kind of forgivable anyway... 8/10

**Now You See Me is a fun genre-mash-up with a fresh new take for heist film fans.**

You have seen magician movies like The Prestige and The Illusionist. You have seen heist films like Ocean's Eleven and The Italian Job. Now You See Me decides to combine the genres and make money disappear with a little Abra Kadabra. This clever and fun film puts its robberies on center stage for the crowd to marvel at their magic shows, making their audiences believe it's all part of the show. A cast of up-and-coming stars like Dave Franco and Jesse Eisenberg are coupled with high-caliber Hollywood veterans like Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and Woody Harrelson. Great laughs, fun characters, and an exciting plot really do the trick for Now You See Me. There are some pretty major plot holes, but if you don't take a movie about magicians pulling off complex heists in public before crowds while being hunted by authorities too seriously, you will love this movie.

Now You See Me is a slick and entertaining heist thriller that blends magic with crime in a way that keeps you engaged from start to finish. The plot is well-paced, introducing its characters quickly but effectively, making sure each magician stands out with their own style. The mystery unfolds in a way that keeps you guessing, with some moments that feel genuinely clever and others that rely on misdirection. While the twist works, it feels like it was designed more for shock value than something deeply layered, but it still delivers on the fun factor.

The directing does a solid job of balancing action with the illusion-based storytelling, making each trick feel larger than life. The cinematography leans into the sleek and stylish, using dynamic camera movements that enhance the sense of spectacle. There’s a good rhythm to the editing, making sure the pacing never drags, though some moments feel a little too quick, as if rushing to the next big trick. The sound design and score add to the energy, keeping the excitement high throughout.

Acting-wise, the cast is strong, with Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco each bringing distinct personalities to the group. Mark Ruffalo plays his role well, though his character sometimes feels overshadowed by the magicians. Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine add weight to the film, though Freeman, as always, feels like he’s playing a version of himself. Mélanie Laurent is a welcome addition, though her role is somewhat underdeveloped. The script is sharp, filled with witty dialogue and a sense of mystery that works well for this type of film. While it may not be a deeply thought-provoking movie, it’s a stylish and enjoyable ride that keeps you entertained throughout.

Now You See Me brings back the wonder of stage magic with a smartly crafted heist story led by the enigmatic Four Horsemen. The film builds each character’s background carefully, then layers intrigue through a slow-burning yet engaging conflict. With well-executed twists and a finale that surprises without confusing, the story remains cohesive and satisfying. Cinematography, music, and performances all enhance the illusion, making every trick feel like real magic. It’s a visually compelling and clever film for both magic lovers and thriller fans alike.
