Now You See Me


Four magicians each answer a mysterious summons to an obscure address with secrets inside. A year later they are the Four Horseman big time stage illusionists who climax their sold out Las Vegas show with a bank apparently robbed for real. This puts agents Dylan Rhodes of the FBI and Alma Vargas of Interpol on the case to find out how they did it. However, this mystery proves difficult to solve even with the insights of the professional illusion exposer, Thaddeus Bradley. What follows is a bizarre investigation where nothing is what it seems with illusions, dark secrets and hidden agendas galore as all involved are reminded of a great truth in this puzzle: the closer you look, the less you see.

The closer you look, the less you see.  Remember this and pay attention during the opening monologue then use what you just heard to try and solve the mystery of the movie and it’s a lot of fun.  All the clues are given to you and to toot my own horn I was able to figure out a large clue immediately.  Going into this movie I thought it was going to be a lot of magic, but believe me it’s so much more and a great amount of fun.  If you enjoy magic this is a fun show based on them showing you how the tricks are done, it also made me want to rush out to my local magic shop and buy a starter kit so I can become the next Burt Wonderstone.  Let me break this down, action, mystery, magic, great cast, and a lot of fun equals the perfect combination for a great time at the movies.  Remember; come in close, because the more you think you see, the easier it will be to fool you.
