Now You See Me

It pretends to be a movie about the art of illusion. But in doing so, it misleads and is really a movie about deception and revenge. At some point it devolves into an action thriller and the mind games are pretty much over. Lately, the most compelling story about magicians is the hilarious love/hate rivalry between GOB Bluth and Tony Wonder in the new season of Arrested Development. As for Now You See Me, it’s okay as a thriller, but it’s too far fetched to work as a brain tease.
