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.

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.

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.

Part of the charm of a magic show is that incredible things are happening right in front of you, which is obviously not the case with a movie that's been shot and reshot, then filled with CGI. Thus taking the 'Wow, how did he DO that?' fun out of the equation, Now You See Me still gets by reasonably well on snappy pacing and dialogues, bombastic setpieces, and the audience actively wanting to try and out-twist the script writers. However, with a flimsy plot and absolutely nauseating camerawork, it's a trick that only manages to amaze once, if at all.

Such a stupid a$$ movie it's too bad that Isla Fisher didn't really dr0wn during that pathetic performance! The sequel was even worse and more lazy 😒

Very unique and entertaining. It is best the first time since the tricks are later revealed but it has a strong plot that follows through.

Film divertente, appassionante ed originale per diversi motivi. La sceneggiatura non è particolarmente interessante se analizzata al di fuori del contesto, ma lo spettacolo continuo di magia e soprattutto di CGI rende il film elettrizzante. Inoltre i personaggi sono tutti piuttosto interessanti e particolari, non i classici buoni e cattivi ma un insieme di diverse personalità tra cui spicca senz'altro quella del Daniel Atlas di Jesse Eisenberg, leader che leader non è. Il finale poi include un plot twist importante e molto ben celato rende più epico il racconto ed il finale. Film adeguato a tutti e differente da tutto il genere da cui è tratto.
