Now You See Me : Film Review

Just last month I was at my local cinema waiting to watch a wonderful Robert DeNiro and saw an advert for a intriguing new piece of film called Now You See Me.  I'd been interested in the concept and practically counted down the days until it finally hit UK cinemas, and finally my time came to see it. 

With one of the largest star-studded cast, stars such as Michael Caine, Jesse Eisenberg of The Social Network fame, budding newcomer Dave Franco, the timeless Morgan Freeman, and various other wonderful cast members, all took to the stage upon the screen to perform one of the greatest cinematic illusions I've ever seen. 

Set across 3 different US states to perform 3 different tricks, The Four Horsemen magicians take Las Vegas and the authorities by storm with deceit and slide of hand, to perform a bank robbery 5000 miles away in Paris, rewarding their personally chosen audience members with the money. 3 million Euro of it. 

With Hulk star Mark Ruffalo on their case as an FBI detective, we follow the story through both sides of the magic; the disbelief and the detailed planning. 

Each scene pulled a new twist from up their sleeves and pushed me back into my belief in magic.. where the magic itself is believing. The final twist concluded what I felt throughout the full 2 hours, that this is truly glorious, gripping, and utterly groundbreaking.
