"Magic"just the word sounds er umm well Magical....... Magic has been used by writers of fiction as well as stage performers to bring awe to their audiences. So it only makes sense when film makers try to use the same gimmicks and tricks to capture their audiences visceral senses on to the screens in front of them. Movies based on magic has always been tricky but has managed to find a lot of success at the box office . Considering the 8 odd Harry potter movies, Narnia or even the Critically acclaimed Prestige , one of my personal favorites. So what happens when you mix Magic, Crime ,Show business and a stellar Cast to the Cauldron . Well you get pure "Film magic".
Here's a short synopsis of "Now you see me "
An FBI agent and an Interpol detective track a team of illusionists who pull off bank heists during their performances and reward their audiences with the money.
The team of Illusionists are called the 4 Horsemen , each gifted with a particular talent, One a mentalist (the ability to read minds) , one a locksmith, A pure magician and his beautiful assistant who conveniently serves up a distraction to audience on and off the screen . The team been tracked by FBI agent and his sidekick in the form of a charming Interpol agent who seem to be at each others throats throughout the movie but develops a sweet chemistry in between. The Four horsemen and three acts will thrill you all the way as they surprise the audience and the FBI at every Turn , by robbing banks and giving away the money in style . Almost like if Oceans eleven decided to go Robin Hood all of a sudden . With the Morgan freeman in pursuit as the man who unravels the mysteries behind every magic trick and Michel Caine in a minor role ,this movie doesn't fail to impress and deceive the audience at every turn leading onto the last act or prestige in Grand fashion.
