Loses a lot of its magic once you start examining it

Rating: 5/10 (21 September 2018)

Much like an illusion, Now You See Me loses a lot of its magic once you start examining it. The inconsistencies and plot holes begin to pile up and the movie starts to become more annoying than alluring. It does a good job of explaining the tricks it can explain, but ignores the ones it can't. Plus, this movie has a great main cast that it chooses to ignore for most of the film. I wanted to like this film more than I did.
