Flashy, shallow and insulting

Rating: 3/10 (10 June 2016)

This movie is a flashy, shallow, insult to you intelligence. The character development is terrible. The "Four Horsemen", one of which is a woman, fell more like game show hosts. Not one of them has any depth. Others purpose seems to be constantly confused and out of control. At least one of the main character serves no purpose at all in the movie. The plot seems as if they made if up as they went along. The plot twists are clumsy and explained by rewriting previous events and adding convenient details. Magic tricks are explained with the same revisionary manner and often ignore conflicting events. The title referring to a game you play with infants was accurate. Now You See Me is flashy and will appeal to people who like shiny things, but will ultimately insult anyone who looks beyond the bangles.
