magicians target the most hated people

Rating: 7/10 (8 September 2013)

What I noticed about "Now You See Me" is that the magicians play tricks on bankers and insurance men. No doubt this is something that people would have to like in the era of the Great Recession. Even apart from that it's a pretty good movie, showing the characters pulling their tricks and figuring out how to always stay ahead of the authorities. In addition to the cast presented on the poster, the movie also includes Mélanie Laurent (Shoshanna Dreyfus in "Inglourious Basterds") as an Interpol agent who isn't about to take crap from Mark Ruffalo's FBI agent. That also means that Shoshanna Dreyfus costars with Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) costars with Batman's butler (Michael Caine) costars with a frequent narrator (Morgan Freeman).
I really liked the movie. It always seems as though each character knows something about the others that can ruin them. But the best parts are without a doubt the magic tricks (or are they tricks?). You'll probably like the movie.
