Now You See Me follows the four horsemen, four magicians who have joined together to rob banks. Trying to stop them is FBI agent Dylan Rhodes (Ruffalo) and Interpol agent Alma Drey (Laurent), but the magicians always seem to be one step ahead of them.
The problem with Now You See Me is that it relies too much on special effects rather than on actual magic. None of the magic is actually done by the actors as it is all done by computers. But for anybody who has seen The Prestige, that's not too important when there is a good story. Now You See Me has a captivating story, but the end is a let down rather than a twisting extravaganza.
The film is entertaining and very enjoyable when watching it, but afterwards you start to notice the creases in the cloth. However, it can still be praised for its acting and visual style but in the end it is disappointing.
