The closer you look, the less you see

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2018)

The four magicians respond to mysterious calls to arrive at a certain place at a certain time. A year later, they are "The Four Horsemen", the world's greatest illusionist attraction. The grand finale of their most spectacular performance is to perform the illusion of bank robbery from the stage. It turns out that the bank is really robbed and the police, with the help of the former illusionist, who has reoriented to exposing the illusions of others, is trying to find out what happened and catch the mysterious four.
This film does not possess depth, philosophy, and hidden messages, nor aspire to some sort of artistic value. This is an illusionist action movie, whose purpose is to entertain, and in that purpose, it succeeds. If you're not a film snob and enter this adventure with realistic expectations of this genre, you can expect an awesome ride and you will not lack the adrenaline. Although not comparable to the greatest cinematic achievements, within the framework of its genre and goals it is trying to achieve, this film is perfectly executed and deserves the highest rating. In addition to the other qualities, there's really exceptional cast, among which are Mark Ruffalo (three Academy Award nominations), Woody Harrelson (also three), Morgan Freeman (one Oscar won out of five nominations) and Michael Caine (two out of six).
10/10
