Now You See Me - 2013

Now You See Me - 2013 - 6/10

 
Mindless popcorn diversion.
Four mid-tier magicians are gathered together to become major headliners as the Four Horsemen.  Part of their act involves robbery.
Very slick production with perpetual camera movement, rapid effects, as well as the various capers.
Plot sweeps swiftly, with barely a letup or quiet moment.
In other words, don’t think about particulars until the credits.
Then it’s like,  “Hey, wait a minute ... ”
Fun, but despite a stellar cast *, doubt I would ever rewatch this empty flick.
* Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo
