I didn’t see a lot of advertising or hype surrounding Now You See Me. I think that definitely worked in this film’s favor. I walked in about ten minutes late and missed two of The Four Horsemen’s origin stories. This movie had a great cast and an interesting plot. All of the illusions were stunning! I kept looking for the strings and mirrors just like Morgan Freeman’s character. At times, I felt like it was more of Mark Ruffalo’s story than the magicians. The payoff at the end explains it in more detail, even though it was a little out of left field. The overall theme of the film was not original but incredibly refreshing, “sometimes you have to give up logic and reason and just go on faith.”
