Review of Now You See Me (2013) by Mark F — 11 Jul 2015

All the four horseman are horribly unlikeable so the fact they get away with it is totally unsatisfactory. Add into the mix the fact that the one good guy who was supposed to be taking them down is actually on their team, and there's just nothing to redeem this film.

Especially when that guy is part of some evil eye cult. It also got lost on me why Morgan Freeman's character would have been so hated by Rhodes so the fact he ends up rotting in a dungeon leaves a bad taste - especially when it turns out he has actually been framed.

I guess whoever made this was desperate for an unexpected twist at the end of their movie, and it was unexpected, I'll give them that...but unfortunately that twist ends up destroying any chance of bringing the story to a satisfactory end.
