Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 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 Mar 20, 2019 Full Review Anna Smith metro.co.uk 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 Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Keith Phipps The Dissolve Audiences go to magic shows to get fooled, but that doesn't mean they want to leave feeling cheated. Rated: 2/5 Jul 11, 2013 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film Harrelson is on in A-game big time as this funny, witty mentalist... Rated: B+ Aug 20, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Sep 6, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington 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 Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Jeffrix almost as good as the first. not enough Isla Fisher! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/10/21 Full Review thiago s 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/02/25 Full Review 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.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/25 Full Review Kyle M Dazzles with discernible illusions and thinly written characters that chained this moderately fun entertainment from greater sensational achievement when meticulously playing the magician’s card in a heist narrative with a star-studded cast. (B) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/22/25 Full Review Agustin H This Movie is the exact thing you have to do with Suspence movies, you just don’t know what will happen.
