Charismatic magician Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg) leads a team of talented illusionists called the Four Horsemen. Atlas and his comrades mesmerize audiences with a pair of amazing magic shows that drain the bank accounts of the corrupt and funnel the money to audience members. A federal agent (Mark Ruffalo) and an Interpol detective (Mélanie Laurent) intend to rein in the Horsemen before their next caper, and they turn to Thaddeus (Morgan Freeman), a famous debunker, for help.

Critics Consensus

Now You See Me's thinly sketched characters and scattered plot rely on sleight of hand from the director to distract audiences.

2.5/5

The magic tricks are quite spectacular, especially one which features Ms Fisher floating above the audience in a giant bubble. But Now You See Me needed more sharpness for it be a really good film.

It's a fun set-up with a terrific cast - [Jesse] Eisenberg plays against type as a smooth-talking card trickster while [Woody] Harrelson radiates easy charm as a mentalist and serial flirt.

Audiences go to magic shows to get fooled, but that doesn't mean they want to leave feeling cheated.

Once the investigation takes over, the Four Horsemen are relegated to the background, and we never see the behind-the-scenes action, which is one of the keys to any heist story. [Full review in Spanish]

I could have used more character development to help with the lulls in the story. This is a movie I didn't need in my life.

The middle act drags a lot but it has enough fun action sequences and an attractive cast that kept my attention throughout.

A magic-themed heist movie seems like a no brainer, and it is fun to watch as long as you don’t think too much about how nothing makes any sense.

Now You See Me is a slick, endlessly rewatchable heist movie that fully earns its four stars. The top cast has incredible chemistry, and everyone looks like they’re having a blast pulling off impossible tricks. I’ve watched this film so many times and it never loses its charm. With the third movie now out, it’s the perfect excuse for a full trilogy marathon. The plot feels refreshingly original, blending magic, crime, and twists in a way that keeps you guessing. It’s pure popcorn entertainment, fast, fun, stylish, and unapologetically crowd-pleasing. A clever crowd favorite that rewards viewings and big-screen energy.

This is basically a magic fan's love letter. If you love it and if you hate it then you hate it. My only criticism is that I wish Dylan revealed to Thaddeus that he was the son of Shrike. Just like one big hearty monologue to leave him speechless with the camera pannes on his face.

I have a big soft-spot for this movie. The magic, the characters, the twists, the heists, everything in this movie is perfect!
