Nate H. reviewed Now You See Me (2013)
Review from the comment
I love magicians and magic. So it's not much to say I also love movies about the subject. Unless it's really terrible, it's an easy mark up a grade or two just for being in the genre. So my assumption was that I was going to like Now You See Me. But there was just too much smoke and mirrors and not enough oomph for me to come on board completely. There is a lot of cool stuff here coupled with a great cast. But the story moves too quickly and unbelievably for me to lose myself. I found myself wondering how these guys went from a group of misfit magicians to criminal masterminds so quickly. And many other questions arose that I can't mention without giving away too much . So if you like flashy stuff, you will probably dig this. But I need less lasers and more sleight of hand to give my kudos.
