NOW YOU SEE ME

My

girlfriend often says that the main problem with

Hollywood (among many) is that it seems to have a
skill to bury interesting thoughts. Screenplay
writers, directors, and producers base their films on
fresh and intriguing ideas; however, by the end of
almost any modern movie they become completely
exhausted, and the audience can always predict
the finale. The recent blockbuster Now You See
Me is an exact illustration of my girlfriends thesis
I think she should write movie reviews instead of
me when I am getting too lazy. It is not
a bad movie, but personally I do not share the
common excitement of other reviewers about it.
Now You See Me was filmed by Louis Leterrier in
2013, and gathered $117.7 million in the US box
office. The main characters are played by Jesse
Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Mark
Ruffalo, Melanie Laurent, Dave Franco, and others.
Besides them, one of my favorite Hollywood actors
Morgan Freemanhas also starred in Now You
See Me, so I felt content about the actors.
The movies plot develops around a group of four
professional illusionists, leaded by so-called Atlas.
They use their perfect skills in deceiving and
creating illusions to steal money and rob banks. For

example, they rob a Paris bank being physically

present in Las Vegas, and make a show out of it; or
they expose a financial swindler and transfer all his
money to the bank accounts of their audience. All
this is done by the magnificent Four Riders (as they
call themselves) to win a competition, or show,
organized by a mysterious stranger; the reward is
the initiation into an ancient order which possesses
the most advanced secrets of the art of the
illusions. In their turn, this group of four is chased
by FBI agents (Mark Ruffalo, Melanie Laurent), who
want to reveal the illegal activities of the four
magicians.
The atmosphere of the film is impressing,
especially in the beginning, when it shocks viewers
with its novelty. Action scenes, due to the use of
illusionists tricks, also look impressive. But closer
to the middle of the movie the tension weakens,
and then simply fades away. The creators of Now
You See Me managed to intrigue an audience, but
failed to sustain it; the finale was predictable, and
perhaps, the worst part of the movie. I will not spoil
you with the details, but if during watching Now
You See Me you think Can it be this guy who gave
the magicians all their tasks? you will most
probably not be mistaken. One of the most
interesting (at least for me) featuresthe clues to
the tricks performed by the Four Riderswas
realized not in its full potential, as many of these
clues looked unconvincing.
At the same time, technically the movie is highclass. Fighting scenes with the use of magical tricks
and illusions look fabulous; stunts, special effects,
and the visual content in general are among one of
the aces hidden in this movies sleeves. I also
enjoyed Morgan Freemans play as an actor: for
me, he has always been an actor whose acting is
extremely pleasant to witness. In fact, Now You

See Me is a good movie by all criteria except the

screenplay, and despite my negative comments
about it, I would still recommend it for viewing.
