Magicians searching for power

Rating: 6/10 (24 January 2014)

The film was presented as something exciting and full of adventure. However, apart from the first part, which was promising and interesting, the movie wasn't something special. The plot seems nice enough : Four magicians are selected to become the four horsemen, who follow instructions from a source they don't know, in order to fulfill a plan. After a magic trick, where they rob a bank in France, the FBI and the Interpoll are sent to investigate them, taking advise from a former magician and current host of a show which reveals the magicians tricks. At first, the clever lines and the whole atmosphere are creating mysterious and exciting scenes that keep the interesting high. Then follow the action scenes, the chasing and the police reaction and finally the big revelation, which is not so great after all. The actors are pretty good acting as magicians, and the scenes are nice, but the plot is not supporting the movie and what it wanted to come through from the story. In the end there are many questions unanswered. All in all, a nice idea, but not a great result.
