Reviews for this film from our members:
- [New – 4/3/14] | Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Cafe Texan
- Excerpt: I was willing to suspend disbelief throughout much of Now You See Me, but it wasn’t until we got to the third act that we got twists that were both predictable and stupid that the film just collapsed for me.
- Luke Bonanno @ DVDizzy.com
- Excerpt: Now You See Me is crowd-pleaser whose ample appeal and entertainment value are easy to appreciate. The twists, turns, and thrills do not demand an excess of disbelief and the well-executed fun overshadows any minor concerns you may have.
- Tim Brayton @ Antagony & Ecstasy
- Excerpt: The enthusiasm and bouncy energy with which the film rockets through its plot… are enough to keep it peppy and fun despite how utterly shallow and trivial it is.
- Patrick Bromley @ F This Movie!
- Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
- Excerpt: The film doesn’t take itself too seriously, and neither should you.
- Erik Childress @ eFilmCritic
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Director Louis Leterrier (“The Transporter,” “Clash of the Titans”) doesn’t use sleight of hand to keep his audience on their toes so much as constantly switching focus among a myriad of protagonists – the magicians, the debunker, the backer, the FBI, Interpol and magicians’ marks – gutting the build of his central storyline in the process.
- Carlos del Río @ El rincón de Carlos del Río [Spanish]
- Excerpt: El secreto de su éxito radica en que una primera mitad muy espectacular y dinámica se mete al público en el bolsillo, y éste perdona una segunda parte bastante más floja e increíble.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: The structure requires a lot of patience to see through to the end, and the lack of an actual reason to care about the game … [tests] that patience.
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: An intriguing escapade, revolving around a magician’s misdirection.
- Vadym Grygoriev @ kinoblog.com [Ukrainian]
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Most of it makes no sense at all, but who cares? This is cheerful ridiculousness pulled off with panache.
- Benjamin Kramer @ The Voracious Filmgoer
- Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
- Excerpt: Today, illusions are more involved, more deceptive and more engaging. Now You See Me embodies that mystique, crafting a knotted plot into a thoroughly entertaining experience.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
- Excerpt: It’s a kind of magic…
- Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
- Excerpt: A dazzling, lightning-fast Ocean’s 11-style caper movie that never pauses long enough for you to consider its preposterous plot mechanics, Now You See Me won’t hold up in retrospect but it’s plenty fun while it’s unfolding.
- Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Com uma narrativa envolvente, muita intriga, acção, e truques de ficar com o queixo caído, o filme heist de Louis Leterrier é bastante inteligente e convence como qualquer ilusionista gostaria.
- Diego Salgado @ FanDigital [Spanish]
- Marcio Sallem @ Em Cartaz [Portuguese]
- Amir Siregar @ Amir at the Movies [Indonesian]
- Cole Smithey @ ColeSmithey.com
- Excerpt: This convoluted shell game of a movie loses track of its own objectives.
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: A rather heavy-handed bit of hokum.
