Now You See Me: film opens 5/31/13
Posted: Fri May 31, 2013 10:57 amI went to a screening of this the other night, here is the http://nowyouseememovie.com/ for those who may not know.
It's about 4 magicians(Isla Fisher, Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson & Dave Franco) pulled together who are actually involved in an elaborate initiation into a cabal of master mages known as The Eye. The trailers tell you none of this. I thought it was going to be more akin to Oceans 11, a heist caper for the sake of a heist but it's not. Knowing that going in may help but once I figured out the real mystery/suspense of trying to figure out what The Eye wants from these 4 magicians, calling themselves the 4 Horsemen, the fun began. It also stars Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo and Common.
I really enjoyed it as did the crowd at the sneak. It got a good reaction at the end.
Grade: A/A-
