"That was a great concert!"
Those were my thoughts when I was walking out of the movie theater. Long story short: it's a heist movie with magic as a background turned into a huge visual attraction, almost glamorizing burglars. It's not something new, you probably saw this a thousand times before with movies like The Prestige or Ocean's Eleven, in fact, this movie not only takes a lot of the concepts from The Prestige by Christopher Nolan and being two steps ahead being the smartest guy in the room in Ocean's Eleven and mix them to work together with great visual and art concepts that would make a director like Baz Luhrmann applaud as loud as he can but also elevates these concepts to the heights, putting into practice everything we saw in the famous Christopher Nolan movie.
So, there's nothing really new here, but it's well made, well orchestrated, gives you tons of fun and a thousand twists, I mean, holy moly, this movie has more turns and endings than Return of the King, when you think you had it figured out, it just fools you once again! Anyway, it's a nice spectacle, worth the admission ticket, go watch it! And also has great actors like Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson and others.
I've just saw it and I enjoyed the ride, so yeah, it's worth of your attention. Just take care and don't play the fool in front of your friends thinking you know what the twist is gonna be. Pay attention to the details and don't look so close.
