Too cute for its own good caper comedy

Rating: Null/10 (2 June 2013)

NOW YOU SEE ME (2013) ** Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Melanie Laurent, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Michael Kelly, Common, David Warshofsky. Too cute for its own good caper comedy about a group of magicians whose extravaganzas involve grand larceny prove to be a bothersome nuisance for a FBI agent (Ruffalo) and a sexy Interpol colleague (Laurent) attempting to solve the mysteries involved while being one-step behind the conspirators plottings. While the ensemble seem to be having a ball the film unfolds by its ridiculous conclusion which turns out to be too much of a good thing. (Dir. Louis Letterier)
