Now You See Me

The sequel is currently showing in cinema's across London (which is where we are currently based). I want to see the second because I want to see what Daniel Radcliffe can add to the film so I am now watching the first film an reviewing it.

Now You See Me boats a stellar cast including Mark Ruffalo (Hulk, Begin Again), Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network, Batman Vs Superman), Michael Caine (Alfie, The Italian Job), Dave Franco (Nerve) and Morgan Freeman (The Shawshank Redemption, Driving Miss Daisy). These are only the names that jump out at you. Woody Harrelson ( No Country for Old Men) and Isla Fisher ( The Wedding Crashers, Rango) make up the rest of the team in the one step further than Ocean's Eleven could go type robbery.

Ocean's Eleven was fantastic and I don't think that there is anyone out there who has seen that film and didn't like it. If you are working on making a film like that, sticking to the simple plot of robbing banks then you can't really go wrong, this time they have just combined the prestige and the illusionists with Ocean's Eleven. Most of us don't believe in magic but we probably all have to admit that it would be kind of cool if it was real. The tricks shown in this film are cool and it's great to see someone putting their imagination to good use and combining it with our favourite things.

This film is very enjoyable and very worth seeing. It you get a chance to watch and then watch the sequel I would recommend it. It's not every day that you see Michael Caine get robbed and it's not every day that you see him face off against Morgan Freeman as they are both going to become legends of film when they hang up their boots. Two guns going off against each other and their causes to be against each other keeping changing, the tables keep turning and yet somehow they end up constantly sitting on opposite sides of the table. The intelligence to play them off against each other and write the script so that no matter what they always end up against each other is a stroke of genius.

If you haven't see it then you definitely should!
