Stylish but shallow

Rating: 5/10 (2 May 2017)

'Now You See Me' is a slick and stylish production and, depending on what you look for in a film, potentially an entertaining way to pass a couple of hours. The average viewer, who probably cares more about how a film looks than what is has to offer plot wise, will most likely enjoy 'Now You See Me'.
Those who prefer a film with a coherent and logical plot, however, are going to be disappointed. Looking past the many on-screen gimmicks, and 'Now You See Me' is soon exposed for what it is - a shallow film with a poorly constructed and, at times, nonsensical plot. For all its fancy production, it lacks the most basic of requirements.
