Product Description
NOW YOU SEE ME pits a crack FBI squad in a game of cat and mouse against a super-team of the world's greatest illusionists, who pull off a series of daring bank heists during their performances, showering the profits on their audiences while staying one step ahead of the law.
Amazon.com
Cinematic sleight of hand and digital prestidigitation drive Now You See Me, a slick popcorn movie about four magicians coming together to pull off a heist and maybe right a wrong at the same time. Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson, and Dave Franco play the Four Horsemen, who each have their individual skills (Harrelson is a master hypnotist, for example) but have combined to put on an amazing show in Vegas--a show that culminates in robbing a French bank. The authorities don't know how they did it, but an FBI agent (Mark Ruffalo) and an Interpol agent (Mélanie Laurent, Inglourious Basterds) start tracking the Four Horsemen as they prepare a second performance in New Orleans. A professional skeptic (Morgan Freeman), however, suggests that these performances are only the preamble to a much bigger trick, and that maybe the Four Horsemen themselves are misdirection. The excellent cast (which also includes Michael Caine) and the unrelenting pace give Now You See Me the illusion of sense and coherence, and the movie can be fun if you surrender to it. Don't think too hard about the illusions themselves; the real fun of magic is not being able to figure out how it's done, whereas we know exactly how the "magic" in Now You See Me works: editing and CGI special effects. Even the few tricks that are supposedly explained fall apart with a moment's thought--they wouldn't actually work. The most compelling element of the movie is the developing romance between Ruffalo and Laurent, two charming actors who know how to let emotion simmer under the surface. That's a different--and much more enticing--kind of magic. --Bret Fetzer

I will just put it to you straight - this was a fun movie to watch. This may be due to the fact that magic on its own is an interesting display of ability, but in part this is also because a certain amount of action and mystery is woven in to this film in a strategic manner. These elements of the movie increase exponentially as it gets closer to the end, and this works to make the audience that much more excited to know what could possibly happen next. Some may argue that this movie was predictable - and in highsight, it kind of is - but there is some beauty in the fact that the magic and illusion of it all is as impactful on the viewers as it is to the actual characters within the movie; this makes NYSM feel like an interactive experience, and this was certainly a pleasant surprise.
Films with a large amount of actors that are well-known can often struggle to juggle everyone's' time on-screen in a way that is meaningful. There is some certainly some bias in favor of some actos here (Eisenberg, Harrelson, and Ruffalo), but all of the actors are given an opportunity to justify their roles as essential inclusions. The characters given less screen time overall are shown performing actions that are important for moving the plot along, whereas characters with more screen time act much like a narrative "tool" that forces the story to move along in a way that isn't tedious or monotonous to watch.
I was very prepared to actually make some complaints about this movie before it was over as I had a lot of questions about the plot that weren't getting answered at first; mainly, I was frustrated with not knowing the characters' motivations for robbing banks, as that isn't a decision that I can accept as being made on the fly or out of the blue. With that said, this movie dropped bombs of information like hot potatoes, and by the time the movie is done everything comes together and makes sense. This finite conclusion leaves very few, if any, details or holes that still need patching, and considering the content of this movie, that's just rather impressive.
An entertaining experience the entire family can enjoy. I would recommend!
A) Yes, the plot is improbable. But so are the plots of most other movies. I mean, Marvel's Avengers? Not a likely series of events, starting with gamma radiation and the Incredible Hulk and ending with practically every time Iron Man flies and then lands on the ground and not getting flattened (because there is just no shock absorber or school of physics, really, that can take the pounding he gives that suit). But all in all, the Avengers was a great movie. Also, any Disney or Pixar movie can pretty much be chucked into the unlikely / improbable box and many, many of those are considered timeless classics (starts singing 'a wheema way a wheema way a wheema way a wheema way').
B) Yes, the events are somewhat predictable. Again, the plot twists - and there are a few - aren't as important in this film as the way those twists are executed. They are executed masterfully and well worth the second watching. Or third.
C) The storyline isn't that original, but the famous-and-probably-dead person (or people?) that stated that there are only 7 (or 5, or 11) plots in the world isn't wrong. Or that far wrong, anyway. It's not the originality of the storyline that makes this movie extremely enjoyable to watch. It's the way the each separate character disappears into the forming of the singular plot (double entendre here intended) that makes the whole greater than the sum of its parts. The play is the thing, in the case of this movie, not the players. [Although they have their fun moments as well.]
And now for the subjective, and therefore not as obvious (although maybe obvious to those who think on the same wavelength as I do)...
(***SPOILER ALERT***)(***SPOILER ALERT***)
The coolness factor with some of the simpler tricks is pretty gosh darn high. Even though some of these appeared in the trailers, they were still cool when I saw them again (and again) in the movie.
Here's a few.
1) The handcuff trick. I want to be the person that pulls that off in real life. Seriously. Forget flying as a super power. I want the handcuff trick.
2) Speaking of flying... The flying into nothingness towards the end of the movie was a pretty cool exit scene. If I had to exit, stage right, I'd want it to look something like that.
3) The whole scene in the apartment when the not-so-dead magician basically runs from the bad (good?) guys by using insanely good ducking skills and a dishrag. It was a dishrag, right? Also, his sweater, or rather, creatively removing his sweater. Awesome.
4) The end scene, which I am sure ticked a few people off, I actually enjoyed. Maybe because I used to play professional poker, and it appealed to me in the same way pulling off a bluff only to find that my bluff was actually the best hand (because everyone else in the pot was on crack) does.
** SUPER SPOILER ALERT**
The fact that the end of the movie ends with actual magic was just cool for me. Get it? They went through this whole complicated scheme using illusion and trickery to bring fantasy into the realm of reality, when, in reality, their reward was to become part of the fantasy. Me like! Some may not, but then they would be wrong.
The group has great chemistry and their interactions have great energy. They have a fun time being interrogated by Mark Ruffalo. It's a promising start as a fun interesting movie that gives us a little insight into magicians. Then it turns.
It becomes all flash and little substance. The heists keep coming. It's like the movie is its own trick. They keep pumping up the flash in order to disguise the lack of a good story. The final twist is just fool's gold. There is no foreshadowing. It's done for its shock value. Sadly, by then I was out of shock. All sound and fury signifying nothing.

Reviewed in India on June 13, 2018
in short loved it one of the best films I've seen in ages laughed my head off at some of it and some of it was really moving
Nice twist at the end when the 5th horsemen is revealed .the other 4 are the main entertainers that are the main plotters of the film
No matter how many times I be seen it I never get tired of it or stop grinning
Although thousands get confused about the Paris robbery in the van I could never figure how they got 3 million euros into the USA
Then the EYE seems to have pretty big logistics or Dylan Rhodes has
Again I can't get enough of it , pity Henley wasn't in in the sequel but lula is just as good in the sequel but that's a nother story
Highly entertaining not what I was expecting,
watched it 3 times in one day brilliant
The film had mixed reviews in the state's
But the fans liked it can't fault them
In short
The horsemen are magicians who want to join the EYE, which is a ancient group formed thousands of years ago to right wrongs as they see it in other words they were classed as the robin hoods of the new age and the public adores them for it
Snubbing the law to do what they thought was right and just on stage......
Question
How did the 4 horsemen
1) bring the 3 million e/us over from
Paris the state's
2)how did they incinerate the flash money in Paris safe very confused over this bit
