Now You See Me
SCORE: 66
Now You See Me is a heist film wrapped
around four magicians. Or we might call them illusionists in our day and
age. They have mastered the art of misdirection. Please note some of the
tricks done in Now You See Me are not possible in our world. Not without
computer generated graphics and other special effects.
The good news is Now You See Me will have you guessing from the start to
the end. What is the main goal? Who is behind all of this? What will
their next amazing trick be? I will not spoil any of it for you. I will
say watching it a second time is very interesting when you understand
who belongs where.
There are moments of humor in Now You See Me. There are also moments of
extreme peril. Like when we think a woman is being eaten alive by
piranha. Police chase down the illusionists since they keep robbing from
some people and giving to others. Now You See Me tries to spin their
crimes as being modern day Robin Hood’s.
The bad news is there is bad language, violence, enticement to lust, and
poor attitudes towards sex in Now You See Me. There are too many
negatives for Now You See Me to be a movie for children. In my opinion
fifteen years and older is what should be watching Now You See Me.
Plenty of high profile, and high name actors and actresses are in Now
You See Me. All of them do a masterful job in Now You See Me. We never
really get to deeply know many of the characters in Now You See Me,
which is good in my opinion. Why do I find that a good thing? Because it
keeps us guessing who the fifth horseman is. There are some open
questions left at the end of Now You See Me that I wish they had
addressed. Maybe there will be a sequel.
Most of Now You See Me was fun for me as an adult. I am not big on the
horrible sexual comments in Now You See Me. I wish they had left that
out. There were so many more creative things they could have done - if
they had put some effort into it.
