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.

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.

Harrelson is on in A-game big time as this funny, witty mentalist...

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

Quand la magie dépasse le simple divertissement… Le casting est ce qui rend ce film si prenant ! Le twist de fin m’a surprise et je dois avouer que lorsque le spectateur découvre l’envers du décor, c’est le moment le plus satisfaisant.

A great film for fans of heist films, the only thing holding it back is the obvious use of CGI instead of actual "magic".

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Tries to be a oceans 11, Italian job, the illusionist , and arrow all in one. Fails at all. Not a terrible movie but would have been better if it was trying to be other movies/shows. All mush better done Morgan freeman gives it an additional star as he should
