A great watch! 8/10

Rating: 8/10 (3 November 2013)

Review: I really enjoyed this movie because its full of suspense and, of course, amazing magic. The cast was great and the twists throughout the movie were unpredictable. As I hadn't read any of the reviews, I didn't know what was going to happen at the end, which made it more enjoyable. It was good to see some old faces, like Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Woody Harrelson, who were a great addiction to the new faces like Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo,Dave Franco and Isla Fisher, who was a brilliant choice by the director. It's has a very original concept which was well put together by the director and the pace of the film keeps you on the edge of your seat. It's not very often that I say this, but i hope that there is a sequel. Brilliant!
Round-Up: After watching the first half an hour of this movie, I didn't have a clue were the storyline was going to go, but it just gets better from one scene to the next. It was also good to finally see a movie that doesn't include a romantic element because it gets straight to it, right from the beginning. In a lot of Jesse Eisenberg's movies, I find his voice really annoying and he talks way too fast, but it seemed like someone had a word with him because he was quite good in this film. The mixture of wit and seriousness was put together well, along with the action and drama. The only question that I have about the movie is, what happened to Michael Caine's character? Apart from that I couldn't find that much wrong with it.
Budget: $75million Worldwide Gross: $234million
