Now You See Me is a light thriller about a team of
four magicians: Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco
(James’ Brother) who are pursued by by an FBI agent (Mark Ruffalo) because they
are up to something. We also have the
two most overworked actors alive, Morgan Freeman and Michael Cane, in
supporting roles.
This summertime flick
isn’t really that moving, emotionally, but everything else really moves — from
the dizzying camerawork to the zippy dialogue to the non-stop surprises. Audiences
will clearly be dazzled and intrigued by the reason these magicians have come
together until the end. I was. But when the secrets are revealed, quite
messily, it all seemed so pointless. No wonder magicians never reveal their
secrets.
Simply
put: Intriguing movie that
keeps you guessing — until logic completely vanishes
Award
potential: None. Not that they
were trying.
The ten
buck review: Near Movie Magic, but
not worth ten bucks.
