Now You See Me (2013)
💗💗💗��- 3.5 hearts
At first glance Now You See Me seems like your typical action/heist movie. Take a closer glance however, and you may see that it has a few tricks up its sleeve.
Synopsis: A team of four illusionists, called the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse work together to astound audiences. Things take a sharp turn when they start performing elaborate heists, and no one can catch them in the act. It is up to a federal agent, Mark Rhodes, and Interpol detective, Alma Dray to stop them. However, tensions between them are high and everyone is keeping secrets
Pros: The idea is incredibly creative. I love the imagery of the tarot cards, and the variety of characters. It was quite interesting how it took the basic premise of a heist and then added a unique spin. The humor, and occasional calmer dialogue scene broke up the tension and added a lighter spin on this otherwise action packed blockbuster. Now You See Me is filled with numerous big name stars, and they live up to their names.
Cons: As many tricks as it pulled it didn’t seem to be getting anywhere. Every time it would build up to something solid, it dropped off. I got the feeling they were planning on a sequel (I was right, there’s multiple), because they left numerous gaps that really needed to be filled. We only see a bit of development in a few of the characters, and their backstories are barely mentioned.
For Fans Of: Action movies, blockbusters, easy watches, Mark Ruffalo, comedy, magic, mysteries
Bullseye: This is a fun movie for when you need something to relax, but that is still substantial enough to stay engaging.
