Better than "Ocean's Whatever", but went a bit too mystical

Rating: 7/10 (21 March 2020)

"Now You See Me" worked out well as entertainment for a wide-ranging group of people. It's basically a complex heist flick, but it has an underlying mystical bent to it. More rationality and less "woo-woo" would have been a major improvement in my opinion. Still that irrational part of this film was not overpowering for most of the film, and it's production values and acting are high enough that one can easily suspend belief, even though you know better. So, it worked well for a very mixed group, but I wish they just didn't take any easy "spiritual" way out at all anywhere in the film. That might just be a personal preference though, and maybe many people prefer it this way.
