Review:
Four magicians find themselves together
after they accept a mysterious summons through tarot cards. After a year
together they become known as the four horsemen and are playing as a sold out
headliner at a Las Vegas casino. The show ends with an apparent bank robbery of
a bank in France which seems to actually get robbed. Due to the serious nature
of the robbery the FBI tasks agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) and Alma Dray (Mélanie
Laurent) of Interpol to the case. During the investigation more shows take
place with major robberies in each leaving the FBI struggling to keep up. Even
after speaking with professional illusion exposer, Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan
Freeman), more mysteries start to unfold leaving this movie with plenty of
twists and turns.
Now You See Me is an awesome magic movie
on par with those of the past, like illusionist. The movie has an all-star cast
with each person performing brilliantly. The movie also switches between grand
tricks that have been shown in real life as well as those made with ‘movie
magic’ which blends incredible well making all the tricks seem believable
leaving feeling in awe. There is even a nice fight scene added in the middle
that mix’s physical strikes with magic attacks that looks amazingly well done. The
story itself follows a pattern with that use’s large amounts of hints as to
what actually going giving it the feel of a good mystery with the big reveal at
the end. Even the special effects look stunning throughout the entire movie. As
magician mysteries go, I’d say this one rates highly and I would strongly
recommend.
I give Now You See Me a 5/5 rating.
★★★★★
