In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

One of my favorite movies. Genius. Loved it. Definitely worth a watch!

This is one of those movies that seems like the director thinks you're a dumb.

The film opens with four quick character introductions of "street" magicians. Daniel (Jesse Eisenberg) uses street magic to meet pretty women. His former assistant Henley (Isla "Legs" Fisher) does a stage act. McKinney (Woody Harrelson) is a hypnotist who uses his ability to shake down people. Jack (Dave Franco) uses his slight of hand to pick pocket people.The four are summoned by Tarot cards (Lover, High Priestess, The Fool, and Death) to a common location. After the credits they become the world's greatest stage magicians while performing crime. They are followed by FBI Dylan (Mark Ruffalo) and Interpol Alma Dray (Mélanie Laurent). Meanwhile Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman) is exposing their seemingly impossible tricks on the Internet.The film keeps you interested as to their next trick. The movie drops clues as to what is going on, but again there is the classic misdirection here too. It is s fun popcorn action film filled with mystery, drama, action, and humor.Parental Guide: One f-bomb. no sex, or nudity. Some sex discussion. Woman in bra.

You know that moment in every heist movie where they suddenly reveal that they tricked you? "It was that person all along!" or "Wait...that's what happened?" Well, this is just scene after scene of those moments. For an hour or so that can be pretty fun, but the tricks played on the audience during this film got more and more implausible (and eye roll inducing, honestly). There is nothing wrong with messing with the crowd a bit, but you should probably respect an audience more than this. Also, seeing this cast waste their talents on cute drivel was a major bummer.
