Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2013)

I am a 16 year old girl and truthfully I HATE crime films and predictable twists drive me up the wall. (oh I am an insane film nerd.....just so you know :P) When I first saw the trailer for this film I actually wrote the date it came out in Britain on my calendar for about 5 reasons. 1- I LOVE Jesse Eisenberg SO much....I've seen Zombieland about 10 times and I am still amazed by Colombus (his character) each time. 2- Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg together...is such a brilliant combination. 3- The concept of the four horseman intrigued me...you see I enjoy films based around more than one person. The dynamic from what I saw in the 30 second trailer was amazing and flawlessly acted. 4- Once again, what I determined from the trailer, was how amazing the script was...."Rule number one of magic: Always be the smartest guy in the room." I still love that line :-P 5- Magic. The idea of a crime drama based around 4 magicians just sounded awesome! Anyway, I went to the cinema with my best friend Nicole to see this film and truthfully some of the twists were a little obvious but I'm willing to bet that it was planned that way to ensure "dramatic irony" like the final part of their plan where they used the mirror box trick which they previously used to hide a rabbit in a box in the show, that Jack Wilder was still alive and the linchpin of the plan after that HUGE car crash scene (which was SO greatly filmed...the way they switched from long shot to over the top shot and from close shot of each car made us see exactly what the FBI saw during that scene which was Jack Wilder crash and die in an explosion when in reality they'd switched the cars and Jack Wilder drove off to break into the hospital and drop off the corpse which they stored in the car that crashed and then crack open the safe) Truthfully I didn't see the big twist coming at the end, I don't think anyone did. Mark Ruffalo I have got to say was GENIUS in this film. Flawless acting. Flawless chemistry with the French girl (I do know her name but I can't spell it :S Anyways she was the PERFECT character to contradict Mark Ruffalo's fake "I don't believe in magic" attitude) He should be SO proud of his performance in this film as I believe he was the centre of this film.
Dave Franco was SO brilliant in this. Jack Wilder was actually my favourite character. His trick where he bends the spoon in the first scene he's in amazed me and the scene where he beats up Dylan Rhodes was actually really really cool. The camera shots in that scene were also amazing actually.
Morgan Freeman was also AMAZING! I know he was the bad guy but he was SO cool and collected. He's such an amazing actor. I really wasn't surprised at how great he was.
Isla Fisher was SO amazing in this film. Flawless acting, amazing character and perfect amount of chemistry between her and Jesse Eisenberg's character. That scene where he catches her actually gave me goosebumps. They could not have picked a more perfect actress for this part.
Woody Harrelson brought comedic effect to an otherwise crime/ fantasy based film. The interrogation scene where he mocks an FBI agent and psychoanalyses Rhodes and his partner actually made me cry with laughter. Once again the perfect actor to play this part. He was hilarious and brilliant.
And....finally Jesse Eisenberg. As I've said I do love him. He's such a BRILLIANT actor and should be SO incredibly proud of how he portrayed "Daniel Atlas" in this film. Nicole truly loved this character and the fact that he looked amazingly cute in this film also added to his amazing portrayal. I really can't fault his performance. He was....just....well the fact that I am speechless still and it's been about six hours since I've seen the film is a great sign.
I really can't find a fault in this scene and there's SO much more I could mention like Michael Caine was also amazing and the flawless camera work and effects and lighting and sound and I REALLY don't see how anyone can find a fault within this AMAZING film. Flawless lovable characters mixed with amazing twists and flawless camera work and scripting.....I am actually racking my brain trying to find a fault to make it seem like I am not biased but I REALLY can't. I was never bored, I was always on the edge of my seat. Let's just say I have a new favourite film and anyone involved within this film should be SO proud.
