Lighten up people!

Rating: 8/10 (29 October 2013)

OK, this film is not perfect, yes you could argue it's pretentious and unbelievable but come on...it's light-hearted entertainment.
I really enjoyed this movie, didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised, the cast was quite impressive even if not all of them were on top form, Woody Harrelson has been better as has Caine and Freeman but we are never going to be in Oscar territory here so they can be forgiven for realising they are not going to get any awards off the back of this movie.
The premise is quite unique and even though you see some things coming a mile off some twists are not so obvious and bring an 'Oh of course!'.
4 Magicians are brought together my an unknown person in what appears to be with the sole intention of robbing money, however this soon becomes clear that this is maybe a rob the rich to give to the poor and then to something else entirely.
If you want an easy non-taxing 2 hours of entertainment then this is for you, if you want an Oscar contender then look elsewhere.
