Seeing Is Definitely Not Believing!

Rating: 7/10 (30 September 2013)

Magic at times can be so amazing that it literally will leave you dumbfounded, speechless, and wondering what the heck just happened. French director "Louis Leterrier" Attempted to replicate the same feat on film but unfortunately failed to reach the heights of even a decent Las Vegas show. Most of the magic/illusions and tricks were no great surprise and were fairly predictable. Although Disappointing in this area, the movie was actually very entertaining. Jesse Eissenberg has proved that he is no "flash in the pan" and really shone in this movie proving that he can handle a sizable role. Isla Fisher was as gorgeous as ever but with no real meat to her character she was there more for the aesthetics. Melanie Laurent, a relative newcomer to American audiences really caught the eye and could be one to watch for the future. With thematic elements including robbery, deception,and car chases coupled with an energetic cast, it was a nice distraction from the reality of every day life.
