But their relationship was never explored and left me unsatisfied. At the beginning of the film, an interesting dynamic was presented between her and J. One of the Four Horsemen, Henley, played by Fisher was especially flat. Some very interesting characters were presented throughout the film, but rarely were their personalities really explored. Needless to say, there was widespread shock and no one seemed to be disappointed or unimpressed.ĭespite all of the great things this movie accomplished, I was a little disappointed with two things. A few people in the theatre I saw the film in even shouted out in surprise or gave the reveal a dramatic few claps of their hands. When they are finally revealed, you will not be disappointed. The film does a great job of leaving the audience guessing as to the identity of this individual. It is made known that the Four Horsemen are backed by an unknown figure from the beginning. The theatre always seemed to liven up when one of their shows started, with everyone in the audience just as excited to see what they would do next as the audience in the movie was. I felt like I was actually lucky enough to get a ticket to one of their highly sought after performances. The scenes in which they put on their performances were by far the most entertaining for me. They call themselves The Four Horsemen and throughout the film they are tirelessly pursued by an FBI agent played by Ruffalo and an Interpol detective from France. The film tells the story of four individual magicians, played by Eisenberg, Harrelson, Fisher, and Franco, who come together to put on performances in which they rob banks, and give the money to their audiences. Add in the ruthless characters portrayed by Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine and you’ve got yourself a stacked cast. With a great cast including Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco, this movie was set to be good from the get go. For this reason, I was hooked as soon as the opening credits of Now You See Me lit up the screen. I sat front row and center for Ocean’s Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen, waiting to see what crazy robbery they pulled off next. When the logic behind these plans is later revealed to the audience, making all of those crazy, impossible things that took place suddenly make sense, I find myself giddy with excitement. I’ve always been a sucker for action films that weave complex heist plans.
