Now You See Me Movie: Morgan Freeman, Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Isla Fisher Give Remarkable Performances (SPOILERS) [TRAILER]
Now You See Me is an incredible adventure full of twists and turns that are sure to bring you along a path then whip you around at the last second. Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, and Isla Fisher play magicians. Not only are they magicians, but they are experts at their given trades. Jesse Eisenberg plays the entertainer. Woody Harrelson plays the mind reader. Dave Franco plays the slight of hand theif, and Isla Fisher plays a rennisance woman who can do all of it. Her character can escape from unlikely situations and perform tricks as well as the person she stands next to during the movie.
The spectacle is incredible. This is one of the few movies where you will see Morgan Freeman actually playing a bad guy, or the victim, that would depend on how your heart feels after watching the entire movie.
The story is about a group of magicians who are all together trying to become a part of a secret society. They are doing this by putting all of their cards on the table, so to speak, and having faith in thier unknown leader. They steal money from a bank, they steal money from an insurance company who refused to pay up when the people of New Orleans had their homes and their lives destroyed. Finally, they frame someone who you might not understand. The framing leads you to beleive that you know who the shadowy cryptic leader of the magicians is. Trust me, unless you read the plot of this movie beforehand, you will not have a clue until it is revealed to you.
This movie is incredible, honestly it is one of the best mind bending thrillers I have ever seen. In terms of entertainment value, I give this movie an edge over the other mind bending thriller Inception. It might be as trippy, but its close, and the directors ability to keep the audience on point with the plot line is much better. I.e. you dont have to watch this movie 4 times to understand what is happening.
I dont have a rating system for movies yet, so I will just go ahead and give it a 9 out of 10. Watchable, Understandable, Entertaining.
Go ahead and see it! I think you will have a great time!
