A fast-paced and well executed caper/chase flick. The plot is constantly serving up twists, which causes a distraction from the movie's flaws. It feels like more thought was put into the tricks than everything else in the script. That's fine, though, because it kept me looking forward to the next reveal (and there's a ton of them). The actors are all good and make the writing seem better than it is. Despite being mildly entertaining, there's still a feeling of hollowness here. 'Now You See Me' aims to be super clever, but ends up being just decent fluff. |

Now you See me is an average movie in every aspect that a movie can be. It's not bad, but it is miles away from being good. Several miles to be more precise. Plot is probably less than average, but maybe slightly better then average acting pulls it back up into it's perfectly average groove. |

Ruffalo Rescues Thriler |
|
Now You See Me is a crime thriller about four magicians who are brought together by a mysterious fifth magician. The movie (despite its marketing) actually focuses more on an FBI agent (played by Mark Ruffalo) who is trying to stop them.
Mark Ruffalo is the movies saving grace (at least up until the end.) The movies script is clumsy and clunky but Ruffalo brings so much charisma and fun to his roll, that he almost single handedly makes up for it; almost.
Unfortunately the other actors seem to be running on autopilot and the inevitable twist at the end kind of ret-cons all of the good bits of the movie and render them lame.
The movie is fun, and incredibly entertaining, but it doesn’t take much pulling to make the whole thing unravel. If you like the whole Magic-Thriller genre... |

Now You See Me |

Now You See Me (2013) PG-13 A team of illusionists, led by J. Daniel (Jesse Eisenberg) and Merritt (Woody Harrelson), are robbing banks while performing magic in front of audiences. Its up to an FBI agent (Mark Ruffalo) and an Interpol detective (Melanie Laurent) to not only stop the team, but to find out what’s the team’s magic secret of robbery success? This is another film where a great cast is let down by a lesser script. The film starts off with a bang, as we see how the four magicians come to form a team. The first heist they do is thrilling, but the big problem with the movie is that it peaks with that heist, and all the other heists aren’t as flashy or fun. Eisenberg and Harrelson play off each other really well, but I never really saw the sparks between possible love in... |
