Harrelson is on in A-game big time as this funny, witty mentalist...

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 20, 2024

Now You See Me may boast incidental pleasures courtesy of an all-star cast, but the film’s oft-repeated line “the closer you look, the less you’ll see” ultimately proves true.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 6, 2022

The story is riddled with plot holes. Some characters are so poorly written. The magic, which should be a strong point, won’t blow anyone’s socks off.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 24, 2022

The script plays fast and loose with logic and credulity and Letterier leans far more on CGI than old-school stagecraft magic, but the energy provided by Letterier’s driving pace and swirling cameras keep the film bouncing along...

| Aug 19, 2022

The magic isn't just confined to the vocation of the main characters in this complex and charismatic 2013 crowd-pleaser.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Apr 1, 2022

One of those films that tries to be too clever for its own good.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 4, 2020

This top notch cast manages to infuse the film with a sense of fun, style and a little suspense.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 18, 2020

I wish I knew how to do magic. I think it would be a cool gift to have. My first trick would be to be to erase this film out of my head.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 16, 2020

Now You See Me is pure summer popcorn. While it's not a super movie, it is a rather entertaining diversion for a couple hours.

| Jul 6, 2020

It is risky, genius casting.

| Jul 30, 2019

An engaging little summer caper. With a talented cast and a twisty bit of storytelling, this is an adequate bit of entertainment that is enjoyable in the moment -- even if it is rather implausible if you think about it.

| Original Score: B | Apr 10, 2019

The magic tricks are quite spectacular, especially one which features Ms Fisher floating above the audience in a giant bubble. But Now You See Me needed more sharpness for it be a really good film.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 20, 2019

Some will enjoy the show all the way to the final twist, but by the time the credits roll, you'll feel like Leterrier and his screenwriters ran out of top hats and rabbits and decided to saw their audiences brains in half.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 26, 2019

At a time when most mentally agile films are very talky and most action films have sing-along plots, Now You See Me is a surprisingly lively set of twists, turns, revelations and explosions.

| Original Score: B+ | Jan 26, 2019

Now You See Me is an entertaining trick for the eyes.

| Jan 26, 2019

Now You See Me is a rarity: a summer movie that manages to entertain without killing off a single of its viewers' brain cells.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Nov 21, 2018

A film that relies on one of the worst, if not the worst twist in cinema history, and literally erases everything that it builds up to.

| Original Score: F- | Nov 6, 2018

Now You See Me is fun but flawed summer fluff. There are certainly moments of greatness here, but the execution falters too many times.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 1, 2018

However, the film sacrifices true depth of characterization of its leads in its quest to be purely entertaining, and the film suffers as a result. We are left rooting for-and against-a series of charming façades.

| Oct 10, 2018

It gives you a little taste of both kinds of tricks. If you are looking for fun that involves more of the mind and a little less of the explosive kind, [Now You See Me] is the film for you.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 10, 2018
