Now You See Me 2013



Now You See Me     Four magicians working their own separate gigs are sent a mysterious summons to meet at a certain address.  One year later, they have a combined act at Las Vegas.  Now they are called the Four Horseman.  They so a stunt of robbing a Paris bank but the bank is really robbed and Euros rain down on the audience.  Dylan Rhodes of the FBI and Alma Vargas of Interpol are trying to figure out how the bank was robbed?  They are also working with profession illusion exposer, Thaddeus Bradley.  Their next show is sold out and they take money from the bank account of wealthy Arthur Tressler.  Their next stunt is to steal a large vault.
    This film has lot of glitter, flash, special effects, tricks and a good cast.  You will need to set reality aside to see if you can figure out the twists and turns plus who are the good guys and the bad.  I could figure a few of the mysteries.  3 ½* (I liked this movie)
