Now You See Me: NOTHING UP ITS SLEEVE

NOTHING UP ITS SLEEVE

From The unbelievable Hulk director Louis Leterrier and White House producers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (Star Trek, Transformers) comes currently You See ME, a caper regarding dour, however outsmarted G-man Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) who's cavitied in an exceedingly game of cat and mouse with a crew of illusionist-thieves.
Calling themselves "The evil," J. Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), Merritt (Woody Harrelson), Henley (Isla Fisher), and Jack (Dave Franco) area unit a massively winning Vegas magic act United Nations agency begin to drag off daring, ostensibly unbelievable heists a lot of to the delight of audiences and therefore the chagrin of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Rhodes' Interpol liaison (Melanie Laurent). there is conjointly a baron (Michael Caine) United Nations agency is victimised by the evil, similarly as a former magician-turned-mythbuster (Morgan Freeman) United Nations agency the Federal Bureau of Investigation could or might not be able to trust.

Now You See ME is, sort of a run of the mill Vegas magic act, all razzmatazz dazzle and superficiality with precious very little which will resonate once you allow the podium.
JIM VEJVODA SAYS
Watch These Instead:
 It's all quickness of hand, however it is not nearly pretty much as good at it because it would love to believe. Worse, the film's therefore wedged in being clever that its "WTF" plot contrivances regularly pull you of it.
The revelations a couple of sure character calls into question no matter logic the moving picture had been attempting to use till that time. Again, it thinks it's being clever by doing this, however it's truly terribly dumb and flimsy. solely the solid solid manages to stay you somewhat fascinated by what is associate degree otherwise swindle of a story.
But even a high-wattage solid like this may solely do most, particularly once their characters area unit all therefore damn buttery. rarely has there been a moving picture therefore littered with one-dimensional, content jerks; if the tools from cortege were a Vegas magic act, they'd be these guys. Even Morgan citizen comes across sort of a big d-bag here.
Eisenberg has amped up his Social Network persona to the ordinal degree here, whereas El Caudillo and Fisher area unit principally relegated to utilitarian functions. Caine will what he will together with his transient role, whereas Laurent is bland and wood. solely Ruffalo and Harrelson find yourself being appealing, the previous his usual earnest, common person self and therefore the latter the foremost likable and lawfully precocious of the evil.

The film's half is just about nonstop camera movement and wall-to-wall score, most in order that once the film finally pauses for associate degree actual speech scene between Ruffalo and Laurent it feels jarring and stylistically inharmonious. It's as if Leterrier thought if he simply unbroken you distracted and disoriented long enough you would not understand however very little the moving picture truly has up its sleeve.
Overall, currently You See ME offers many groovy magic act sequences, however it is a noteworthy disappointment given the pedigree of talent concerned.
