A mess

Rating: 2/10 (19 February 2019)

Wow, looking at many of the reviews for this movie I must be one of only a handful of people that really disliked it. So over the top, even for a story about magicians who are, it seems, by their very nature are over the top. Some of the story simply makes no sense at all. And what does sort of make sense pushes the viewers suspension of disbelieve to the edge.
An amazing cast - I mean, just look at that cast - and an idea with so much potential and yet such a huge failure in my opinion. The blame has to lay with director Louis Leterrier who also made the shockingly disappointing The Brothers Grimsby.
