Now You See Me
Four street magicians (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fischer, & Dave Franco) get recruited by a mysterious benefactor for a spectacular 3 act performance playing Robin Hood in Las Vegas, New Orleans, and New York City. The tricks are huge and dare you to figure how they are done. Up front, you know it is all an illusion and it's all about misdirection. Who can resist magic? It's a fun ride, but the story is too contrived. Mark Ruffalo and Morgan Freeman round the cast as authorities trying to close in on this slick hocus pocus gang. The real secret here is movie magic.
Alien gives it 3 "Eye of Horus" stars out of 4.
