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, 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.
