Now You See Me (2013)

Now You See Me IMDb
Imagine if David Blaine and three others just like him would get together and pull a big magical over the top heist.  That's what you get in this movie.  Interesting but too over the top for me as far as the magic tricks go.  It's like Ocean's Eleven with magicians except there's a big super twist at the end.  That's it.  It kept me interested overall but not enough to love the movie.  Jesse Eisenberg plays the same character like most of his movies.  Michael Cane was in it for a few moments there.  That one badass French girl from Inglourious Basterds is here.  She's pretty good.   We got Morgan Freeman's character exposing us to the truth and how these "heist magicians" are able to pull each trick.  So for a one night of entertainment and one night only, I say this movie is okay to see.  Nothing else beyond that. The big Hollywood twist just doesn't do it for me.
