A fantastic film that keeps you guessing right until the end. Magic is the theme of the movie, complete with showing off a few magic tricks. A group of four magicians pulls off seemingly impossible heists for an unknown reason. The film gains momentum quickly from the start, introducing the main characters in succession and then runs through each heist. Just as one finishes, it builds up anticipation for the next act such that it never gets boring. Adding to the feeling is the police, tracking down the magicians and another more mysterious character, seeking to expose the "magic" behind everything that has happened. Each character carries their own charm and the excitement builds up at the climax, you eagerly awaiting the big revelation. While the revelation was unexpected, it kinda came from out of the blue. It wasn't a clever twist that if you paid close attention, you can figure it out. There were a few scenes where it feels improbable, especially the ones showing something akin to hologram technology. Anyway, Now You See Me carries an interesting story making for a great watch.
