Would be good if it didn't deceive the audience

Rating: 4/10 (29 May 2016)

I wanted to like this film and it did show some early promise. But for a film that relies upon illusions, this one provides the worst fraud of all - the CGI that is responsible for pulling off the most of the tricks. The entire film is predicated on these guys being the greatest magicians of all and they couldn't even pull off the simple ones without some help from Hollywood.
And then came the ridiculous trick about moving money between bank accounts. Who came up with this garbage? Anything is possible in this film because anything is possible in movie land. While it has high production value, it's all wasted on a pitiful script. If you want to see some strange magic inspired movie, see something like The Prestige. At least that is honest to its inspiration, unlike this one which is virtually all made up rubbish that only exists in movies.
