Now You See Me

There's a twist, then a turn, then another twist, then yet another turn. Am I starting to sound repetitive? As I am sure you would like to come through the computer screen and slap me, you would probably be equally annoyed with a movie that employed so many twists and turns. Actually, you would be wrong. Now You See Me has a new and mind-blowing change every few minutes in the movie, but it does so in a fresh and exciting way. The film makes you keep guessing with every

scene, it feels like your brain just ran a marathon. The random shifts in plot are actually done in an intelligent way and once you believe you've figured out the next move, you were completely wrong, and also dazzled in the process. The film can be a bit confusing. For example, as much as I tried to hold it in, I had to tinkle. I used the restroom faster than Olympic Medalist Usain Bolt could have, but yet when I came back, the movie I left seemed completely different. After a quick re-enactment of the scene from my mother, I was soon caught up. All of the puzzling scenes do eventually add up in a concise way during the end of the film - perhaps too concise for my liking. The cast is led by Mark Ruffalo, who is an excellent salt and pepper bearded magic trick in himself. There is no shocker there. Also featured is Jesse Eisenberg, who takes on the role of the conceited magician. Despite normally enjoying Eisenberg as an actor, all I saw was a sassy Mark Zuckerberg doing magic tricks. Other members of the cast include the always wonderful, Woody Harrelson and Isla Fisher, the latter who is showing to be a superb talent. Both in Gatsby and this magical film, she doesn't get the screen time that she deserves. The film is unique, however confusing at times, it is one that leaves a viewer satisfied and happy.

Cry Meter- 1 out of 5 tears. No tears were spent, except those of hormone-ridden teenage girls(like myself) that were threatened with the loss of Dave Franco's character and his beautiful face,
