I watched this movie yesterday on DVD and I thought it was decent enough to warrant a short review. "Now You See Me" is one of those films with an interesting-enough premise and a large-enough cast that is definitely worth watching at least once. This is one of the films that is decent enough to be enjoyed in theaters but it is more worth it to just wait the few months until the DVD is released and just rent it. As said, the premise is pretty interesting basically mixing "Ocean's Eleven" and "The Prestige" by having big-time magicians using their illusions and tricks to perform bank heists. This film definitely showcases an all-star that came from recently popular projects: Mark Zuckerberg, Tallahassee, The Tooth Fairy, Harry Osborne's Brother, The Hulk III, Alfred, and God. That being said, this is the kind of film that is best to turn your brain off. While trying to provide complex techniques, mysterious plot elements, and story twists, it also showcases major plot-holes and overall convoluted decisions. "Now You See Me" is an enjoyably decent blockbuster film that is definitely worth watching on DVD but it's nothing magical.
