Now You See Me English Movie Review: Have seen, Have not!

Thriller as a genre doesn’t cease to entice you because it is a sphere that doesn’t have a beginning or an end. The more you roll, the more you will have! Here’s one movie that is a sphere in its own entity – ‘Now I can see you’! It didn’t entice as a title, does it as a movie?

The movie teasers let the plot out! So it’s all the more fun to see how the script has been executed. Magicians turn infidels! That’s the only thing we can leak out. How they use their talents is what is enticing! Looked like an old story to us but there's something new in here!

Director Louis Leterrier, where have you heard that name before? Transporter series of course! His work seemed like an ‘Oceans 11’ extension but it is only a mere comparison because both the movies deal with heists. The director hasn’t tried too hard. He’s kept things simple and scripted quite a decent movie.

Technically sound, the movie does have its share of flaws and importantly blank spaces in the plot itself. That’s because the director has chosen to get the characters called ‘The Four Horsemen’ to do the talking rather than the plot by itself. When you see bad, there’s always a good bloke who wants to end the menace. Mark Rufallo as the cop has his FBI shoes on and tries his best!

We'll get our review lens on and talk about the pace of the movie. May be the first 60 minutes were like a Japanese magnetic train and then the following time frame till the end seemed like a tad tiring disclosure of facts. Should the screenplay be a little faster, the movie would have been even more engrossing to watch. Seasoned actor Morgan Freeman gets his bunch of dialogues, at a very nagging time of the movie, making it all the more tiring for the viewer.

Explanations for most unanswered questions were answered towards the climax. It seemed like, ‘a few questions, don’t have answers’! Finally an element of suspense that we wouldn’t want to leak here doesn’t quite go with the audience because the entire premise of the movie is not convincingly explained.

Let’s give the errors a pass, the almost convincing robbing techniques, highly imaginative modern day illusion depiction and not to forget the characterizations of each of the individual street magicians, this movie has every reason to be a time spending investment!
