Review of Now You See Me (2013) by James S — 26 Aug 2016

Amid mixed reviews, I actually quite enjoyed 'Now you see me'. First and perhaps foremost, the idea was unique and inventive. Never before had I watched a film based primarily around magic and illusion.

Whilst some of the tricks were far fetched and unrealistic, those that were explained were clever and interesting. The cast complemented each other quite well, without delving too much into each of their backgrounds and personalities.

Whilst it wouldn't win too much praise for an intense, engaging storyline, it sufficed in being an entertaining watch.
