Now You See Me

#1 Post by akh43 » Thu May 02, 2013 8:06 am

Rarely see trailers nowadays but saw a trailer for this the other night and it looked promising

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1670345/

Now You See Me (2013) - Thriller - 3 July 2013 (UK)

FBI agents track a team of illusionists who pull off bank heists during their performances and reward their audiences with the money. Starring Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffulo, Isla Fisher, Woody Harleson and Jesse Eisenberg.

I dont know how to add trailers, hopefully someone can add a trailer.

Yeah, this looks great, I was a bit worried about the use of practical effects versus CGI though, but the part where he swaps the handcuffs was impressive enough

Just seen this. Very entertaining. Very cat and mouse between the FBI and the magicians. The twist at the end is quite out of nowhere encouraging a rewatch. No slowdown, this is a fast paced thriller. Only criticism is that the film sets the bar high early on but starts to fizzle before the "big reveal".

8.5/10

Loved this, kept the momentum going throughout the film, lots of mystery, tricks and action, extremely good casting and a great plot twist at the end.
Shutter island meets The Incredible Burt Wonderstone(except a lot more gritty!)
Plus, lots of jokes about the French!

8/10

Looking forward to this now based on the few reviews and the trailer. I like 'heist' type thrillers!

Here's hoping the visuals used in the film are nowhere near as sloppy and headache inducing as the ones in the promo poster...

Urgh.

...but let me stop being a Debbie Downer for a moment whilst I agree with the general consensus that this looks like a highly entertaining heist movie with a twist. Popcorn mandatory.

Saw this some weeks ago, would have gone 3 stars overall until the last 10 minutes, which kills it completely. Leave before the end and you'll enjoy it enough. It opens so well too, the 4 magicians are damn enjoyable, unsurprisingly, but forgotten about too early.
