The idea that proximity doesn’t guarantee understanding seems relevant when watching Now You See Me, directed by Louis Leterrier and written by Ed Solomon, Boaz Yakin and Edward Ricourt. The film features Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Mélanie Laurent, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Michael Kelly, with music by Brian Tyler and cinematography by Mitchell Amundsen and Larry…

This is without a doubt the greatest magical film I’ve seen, easily ranking as my second favorite movie—Armageddon holds the top spot. The actors portraying the Four Horsemen were perfectly cast, and Isla Fisher is fantastic. 😃

The special effects are plentiful, but there’s not much of a plot to be found. The characters feel underdeveloped, and the narrative itself is weak.

I'm looking forward to the next installment.

I thought it was really something special!
