Review of Now You See Me (2013) by Anna P — 03 Aug 2015

Good capers are hard to come by and too many magician pictures want to pull the curtain back too far... not so with Now You See Me, where, as they say, the closer you look the less you'll see. It's a magic trick with the soul of Ocean's Eleven, and pretty much all the ensemble cast is up to the challenge (my exception would be an unrecognizable Isla Fisher, who seems oddly generic after a slew of memorable work).

The less said the better but figuring out the tricks is just the distraction from how all these pieces fit. And hiding that maguffin is really an art.
