WTF?!!! Now that was a magic trick

Rating: 3/10 (8 September 2013)

Morgan Freeman ... First, Olympus has fallen, and now this? You need to get a new agent!
and IMDb voters ... a score of 7.3??? Really?!!!!
Anyway, as mentioned before, this movie is all style and no substance. Also, it requires a higher level of suspension of disbelief than, say, Sharknado or Harry Potter.
The FBI are constantly making inexplicably stupid decisions. Perhaps in that world you don't need any qualifications to join the FBI and don't receive any training after joining.
None of the characters are likable. I guess that's by design as they are all supposed have severe ego problems, what with being magicians or French. But really I don't know how they got such a great actor like Morgan Freeman to have an annoying smirk throughout the movie. That was especially with his assistant standing next next to him with a similarly annoying smirk but having no lines, basically like a prop.
**** SPOILERS BELOW THIS LINE ****
This is nothing more than a revenge movie really. It is also quite predictable, especially compared to other movies where you're supposed piece things together.
The switch when the fifth horseman got found out was just plain stupid. It makes his questions up to that point a complete waste of the viewers time.
Also, you gotta be OK with an innocent man being incarcerated, and with members of law enforcement being fine with that.
It is still kind of a watchable, but you do leave thinking it could have been such a better movie.
