Atlas and his comrades mesmerize audiences with a pair of amazing magic shows that drain the bank accounts of the corrupt and funnel the money to audience members.

Critics Consensus

Now You See Me's thinly sketched characters and scattered plot rely on sleight of hand from the director to distract audiences.

2.5/5

The magic tricks are quite spectacular, especially one which features Ms Fisher floating above the audience in a giant bubble. But Now You See Me needed more sharpness for it be a really good film.

It's a fun set-up with a terrific cast - [Jesse] Eisenberg plays against type as a smooth-talking card trickster while [Woody] Harrelson radiates easy charm as a mentalist and serial flirt.

Audiences go to magic shows to get fooled, but that doesn't mean they want to leave feeling cheated.

I could have used more character development to help with the lulls in the story. This is a movie I didn't need in my life.

The middle act drags a lot but it has enough fun action sequences and an attractive cast that kept my attention throughout.

Brilliant! Mixes magic, sleight of hand, good intentions, conflicting motives and brilliant minds very effectively. Stellar cast all excels in character. Very well written and great directing by Louis Leterrier. Very good cinematography and visually stunning. Lots of mind boggling effects, fast paced action, suspense, anticipation, emotion, intrigue and drama. Very entertaining and gripping

Now You See Me is a stylish and entertaining thriller that mixes magic, illusion, and heist elements in a very fun way. The fast pacing, clever tricks, and charismatic cast keep the film engaging from start to finish. It has an energetic vibe that makes it hard to look away, especially during the performance sequences.However, the movie sometimes focuses more on being flashy than logically consistent. A few twists feel over-the-top, and if you think too deeply about the plot, certain parts may not fully make sense. Still, the entertainment factor easily carries the film.Overall, it’s a fun, clever, and visually exciting ride that prioritizes enjoyment over realism — and honestly, that’s part of its charm.

"Now You See Me" describes the empowering story of the Four Horsemen, a group of magicians that perform for the sole purpose of rebellion against mankind. It is an articulate, coordinated illusion in and of itself, where time ceases to exist. Charismatic Jesse Eisenberg and Dave Franco pack the film with intensity while blurring the line between performance and defiance. An absolute must - see!

First act was AMAZING, the second and third were more focus on Ruffalo's character and the hunt for the magicians, which I found slightly irritating. It lost the plot a bit in the middle. An entertaining, fun heist movie overall, but could have been better.
