In fact, “Now You See Me” is a good movie by all criteria except the screenplay, and despite my negative comments about it, I would still recommend it for viewing. I also enjoyed Morgan Freeman’s play as an actor: for me, he has always been an actor whose acting is extremely pleasant to witness. Fighting scenes with the use of magical tricks and illusions look fabulous stunts, special effects, and the visual content in general are among one of the aces hidden in this movie’s sleeves. One of the most interesting (at least for me) features-the clues to the tricks performed by the Four Riders-was realized not in its full potential, as many of these clues looked unconvincing.Īt the same time, technically the movie is high-class. I will not spoil you with the details, but if during watching “Now You See Me” you think “Can it be this guy who gave the magicians all their tasks?” you will most probably not be mistaken. The creators of “Now You See Me” managed to intrigue the audience, but failed to sustain it the finale was predictable, and perhaps, the worst part of the movie. But closer to the middle of the movie the tension weakens, and then simply fades away. Action scenes, due to the use of illusionists’ tricks, also look impressive. The atmosphere of the film is impressing, especially in the beginning, when it shocks viewers with its novelty. In their turn, this group of four is chased by FBI agents (Mark Ruffalo, Melanie Laurent), who want to reveal the illegal activities of the four magicians. All this is done by the magnificent Four Riders (as they call themselves) to win a competition, or show, organized by a mysterious stranger the reward is the initiation into an ancient order that possesses the most advanced secrets of the art of the illusions. For example, they rob a Paris bank being physically present in Las Vegas, and make a show out of it or they expose a financial swindler and transfer all his money to the bank accounts of their audience. They use their perfect skills in deceiving and creating illusions to steal money and rob banks. 'Now You See Me' is currently available to rent, purchase, or stream via subscription on DIRECTV, Microsoft Store, Redbox, Google Play Movies, Amazon Video, AMC on Demand, Vudu, Tubi TV. The movie’s plot develops around a group of four professional illusionists, led by so-called Atlas. Besides them, one of my favorite Hollywood actors-Morgan Freeman-has also starred in “Now You See Me,” so I felt content about the actors. The main characters are played by Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Mark Ruffalo, Melanie Laurent, Dave Franco, and others. “ Now You See Me” was filmed by Louis Leterrier in 2013, and gathered $117.7 million at the US box office.
