THE REVIEW:
This movie is put on such a large scale and requires full attention because Its smart, fun, witty entertaining, magical, clever, humorous, suspenseful, action filled and has enough twists for the 2 hour long movie. There isn't much more I could ask for here, the plot had me guessing right until the unveiling of the last trick, I was gob-smacked. Everyone in the cinema with me were as shocked as I was, the storyline keeps you guessing and shocks right till the very end. If you enjoyed watching movies like Oceans 11 & The Prestige then you will understand the angle here. The acting is great, the characters all had their moments and performed effortlessly. There's something for everybody here because its always interesting to be shown how a magician managed to fool everybody with a trick.

THE REVIEW:
I had only seen the trailer for Now You See Me a couple of days before its release date, and instantly the movie stuck to mind. I knew I had to go see it. This looked like one of the best movies of the summer so far, and when I watched the full length feature I was right. I really enjoyed watching this movie, from the moment I sat down in my cinema seat my eyes were glued to the screen.

The story behind this movie follows four Vegas magicians, known as the Four Horsemen, they managed to rob a bank in the middle of their shows. This triggers a cat and mouse thriller between them and the FBI. Unfortunately for the law, the magicians are always one step ahead. Whilst they are trying to pick apart the last trick, the next one is happening right under their noses. Even I feel like I have to see it again just to be able to see once again how the misdirection and plot twists were strategically placed.

The plot is original and filled with amazing ideas. The acting is the best I've seen in a long time (as a collective), each character is unique and the personality fits with their attitude and swagger on screen. Daniel played by Jesse Eisenberg and Rick Rider played by Dave France are my two favourite characters out of the Horsemen. Even though they are two completely opposite people, they have attributes perfect for magicians. The cinematography is brilliant and special effects will make you believe in magic. The only thing I would have liked the Director to have worked on more was character development, the movie focuses strongly on making me want to know what's going to happen next rather than why these people are the way they are. More dialogue between the Horsemen would have been better, but apart from that, this is still a MUST see.
