Despite the movie’s solid casting, these lightly written characters are out-shined by the spectacle they are involved in. A chase scene through New Orleans adds a bit of pep to the sequence with an extended one-take, as Ruffalo chases Eisenberg through crowded locations. He does have a few sparks of his own, as allotted to him by bits of action in the story.
#NOW YOU SEE ME TOO MOVIE#
Director Leterrier puts together this trick of a movie with the sole goal of making it glisten, managing the script’s tightness with a desire to keep things as functionally smooth as possible.
The film’s first performance, in which the quartet rob a bank in another country while still in Las Vegas, has the type of intrigue that sets a solid stage for a tale that has numerous shifts, deceptions, and a big twist at the end.
From the beginning, in which the separate members of the Four Horsemen are given individual introductions, Now You See Me takes off as a script with a healthy dose of mystery, and a fair amount of payoff to its magic shenanigans. Now You See Me wants to be a crafty being of its own, and in some regard it does earn that definition. At the same time, Rhodes’ pursuit of catching these elusive magicians is outsmarted by magic debunker Thaddeus Bradley (Freeman), who plays the James Randi of this film, making his living by revealing the mechanics behind the tricks of other magicians. He is assisted by Interpol agent Alma Dray (Melanie Laurent, from Inglourious Basterds and Beginners). How can magicians pull off such a feat in public? And are these performers more than human? Out to answer these questions, while simultaneously investigating these heists, is FBI agent Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo), who is new to the world of magic. The strangest part? The heists are all a part of the show, sometimes concluding with money raining down on audience members. As the magicians are working up their audience with certain tricks, both big and small, they are also taking money from banks, and in one case, from the bank account of a wealthy individual. Brought together by a mysterious force that gives them instructions on what their next tricks will be, these performers use their magic skills for elaborate shows that double as heists. In Now You See Me, a unique heist film from Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier, Jesse Eisenberg leads a quartet of magicians (Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, and Woody Harrelson) called “The Four Horsemen,” who are sponsored by mega-rich guy Arthur Tressler (Michael Caine).
