Awesome Movie

Rating: 10/10 (25 August 2014)

The movie beautifully depicts the revenge taken by Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) against Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman), a former magician. He reveals the secrets behind other magicians' tricks, for having humiliated his father (Lionel Shrike) and forcing him to try a risky stunt to revive his career. He also extracts revenge against the insurance company (Cr?dit R?publicain de Paris and Tressler's company) who had refused to pay money on his father's death, and the company (Elkhorn) that produced the sub-standard safe used in the trick that led to its failure. The movie is a great combination of mystery and thriller with four illusionists working for Dylan robbing the bank (Credit Republcain de Paris) in France only to shower it onto the Las Vegas crowd using magic tricks. The movie revolves completely around the criminal acts of the four Horsemen namely J. Daniel "Danny" Atlas (Eisenberg), Merritt McKinney (Harrelson), Henley Reeves (Fisher), and Jack Wilder (Franco). Though the ending seems to be incomplete. I feel that those street magicians needed be arrested to prevent people from getting inspired from such acts. However, the movie is a great example of a son taking revenge of his father sacrificing everything in his life. It's a must watch for anyone that has a defined taste for thrillers.
