Ridiculous but also ridiculously entertaining.

Rating: 6/10 (21 August 2013)

Of course the premise of Now You See Me is nonsense, but I wouldn't imagine people wanting to see this are looking for gritty realism.
It's fun and I enjoyed it more than most films I've seen recently, and I watch a lot. Sometimes you just want a film you don't have to think too hard about, and this more than fits the bill.
I didn't much enjoy the action sequences, but to be fair I tend to tune out during car chases, and it has been a long time since I was 16.
It reminded me of the UK TV series Hustle, and in my book that's no bad thing. It's not art but who cares? Glossy, decent acting, intriguing story and the bonus of Melanie Laurent.
-1 though for the terrible twist and the last 10 minutes.
