Now You See Me (2013)


Four of the worlds greatest illusionists (dubbed The Four Horsemen) are 'hunted' by the FBi after pulling off what seems to be an impossible bank job in Paris, when they are on stage in Vegas!

Yep we're in pure Hustle/Oceans 11 territory here, a strong cast, the ever reliable Woody Harrelson, Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Caine, eye candy Isla Fisher slightly annoying Jesse Eisenberg (is it me or does he play pretty much the same character after 'The Social Network'?) and some bloke I've never seen before.

For the most part it's enjoyable nonsense, though with a running time of nigh on 2 hrs it does rather outstay it's welcome towards an over complicated rather silly finale, and try and avoid the 'extended' version, the final scene makes no sense what so ever!
