Now You See Me

My family and one of my friends came over the other night and we watched Now You See Me. The film is directed by Louis Leterrier, who also directed Clash of the Titans and The Incredible Hulk. Now You See Me is about four individual street magicians that come together as a group and become the Four Horsemen. They pull off multiple bank robberies during their magic shows and one viewer in the audience, a former magician, tries to expose their illusions. The FBI is left chasing the Four Horsemen down to try and figure out how the illusions were done. I had never seen anything like the movie or concept of the movie before and I thought it was good. I was left entertained throughout the entire film. The movie lacked character development and depth. Now You See Me focused primarily on the Four Horsemen’s heists throughout the film and I think it’s a good movie to sit back, watch, and not think too much about it. This movie was enjoyable and an interesting mystery. The twists were interesting in the film; once I thought I had the story figured out, different elements changed and I was left guessing again.
