Review: Now You See Me (2013)

A very entertaining film about magicians staging a series of incredible feats of magic whilst now-you-see-merobbing from the rich and giving to the poor. The film hosts an impressive cast with  Jesse Eisenberg (Didn’t he make facebook!), Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Mélanie Laurent, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman.

There are several very large scale scenes with very big and impressive magic performances which would not be out of place in any Las Vegas Casino. If you like to be stunned and tricked, this is the film for you. You are never really quite sure what is going on and just when you think you do, everything shifts around you.

Rest assured the film answers most of your questions by the time it ends, although I will warn you that the ending is a bit implausible!
