Different than I thought .. Although that's not a bad thing

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2013)

This film had a bit of everything... Action, comedy, suspense and even romance.
The story was interesting enough, basic but interesting. The visuals were good and the cinematography was well done.
I felt the cast were very well picked and came across together very well. Woody Harrelson was brilliant in this film, very quirky and interesting.
The movie is very well paced, from the 1st minute to the last I found myself very entertained and didn't once feel my attention slipping. The main scenes in the movie come and go very well and it never feels as if they are dragging out a scene/situation.
The only gripes I have of this movie is the character development. I found it near non existent. I didn't feel as if i cared much for any of the characters, be it the magicians or the FBI. The film is so fast paced and it didn't seem to slow to build any characters stories.
The magic scenes are good, the cat and mouse chase scenes are good but I still can't help feel disappointed about the weak character development, especially with it being such a strong cast.
I would recommend this film to anyone, plenty of twists and turns, laughs and suspense to keep you thoroughly entertained.
8/10
