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.

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

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.

Rated: 3/5

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

Deep Focus Review

Now You See Me may boast incidental pleasures courtesy of an all-star cast, but the film’s oft-repeated line “the closer you look, the less you’ll see” ultimately proves true.

Rated: 2/4

Keith & the Movies

The story is riddled with plot holes. Some characters are so poorly written. The magic, which should be a strong point, won’t blow anyone’s socks off.

Rated: 2.5/5

At a time when most mentally agile films are very talky and most action films have sing-along plots, Now You See Me is a surprisingly lively set of twists, turns, revelations and explosions.

This top notch cast manages to infuse the film with a sense of fun, style and a little suspense.

This movie is garbage, and one of the worst I've ever seen. It's smugness and arrogance reminded me of Ocean's Twelve.

Filme legal pra caralho, o roteiro é legal pra caramba, as cenas são legais pra caralho, a história é legal, o elenco é bacana, e metade do elenco ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bacanas, o filme tem um plot twist diferente que é o mark ruffallo que é do bem virando do mal, na primeira vez que eu vi esse plot twist eu gostei, mas quando fui rever de novo, eu não gostei muito, por que um protagonista que é do bem faz um reviravolta em cima de um coadjuvante que aparece poucas vezes, e ainda não explica o por que do motivo de ter virado vilão foi um roteiro preguiçoso é fraco, era melhor colocar a mélanie laurent como a vilã, os motivos ainda podem melhorar isso, motivo 1. Ela Poderia matar o mark ruffallo e incriminar o morgan Freeman aí Poderia ser um plot twist um pouco melhor, é melhor já que no segundo filme mark ruffallo incriminou morgan Freeman por causa de seu pai, aí o roteiro Poderia colocar fazer ela matar o mark e incriminar o morgsn por vingança ao seu pai, mas o roteiro foi outro e por cima um plot twist fraco e sem sentido, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme vale a pena assistir mesmo com o plot twist fraco.

Aluna U

Now You See Me brings back the wonder of stage magic with a smartly crafted heist story led by the enigmatic Four Horsemen. The film builds each character’s background carefully, then layers intrigue through a slow-burning yet engaging conflict. With well-executed twists and a finale that surprises without confusing, the story remains cohesive and satisfying. Cinematography, music, and performances all enhance the illusion, making every trick feel like real magic. It’s a visually compelling and clever film for both magic lovers and thriller fans alike.
