HOUDINI'nt See It Coming.

"It's the oldest trick in the book.", Russovoir hears either Henley (Fisher) or Dany (Eisenberg), he couldn't tell, he was more concerned where the rabbit went - oh my god! He would've already known better after so many lazy late afternoon stumble upons of Breaking the Magicians' Code: Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed on AXN way back, but he always seems unsuspecting; he forgets, then doesn't know any better. The art of magic seems something always refreshing and alluring and inventive that, personally, it's a new, inviting experience on an old trick (done sparingly). Most especially, most unquestionably, if your magicians are beautiful people Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson, and Dave Franco (below).

The Four Horsemen.

Let us talk about Eisenberg in a while - so excited! But first, the plot - who are we kidding, let's talk about Eisenberg, and work our way to the plot. Like like like. Like ten thousand times had Eisenberg been a Facebook post. Jesse is a pleasure to watch, let alone hear on screen. Not only because he's a good-looking chap but also very in character to all films Russovoir has watched. Probably all, he dare says. Adventureland (2009), The Social Network (2010), 30: Minutes or Less (2011), Why Stop Now (2012), and just recently Free Samples (2012). So maybe not all; he's not the only good-looking, talented chap in Hollywood, is he? And Russovoir is not saying, not at all, no sir, he's not going to watch them all. Admittedly, you could say Russovoir is that 'lovely assistant' who does what the 'magician', Eisenberg, tells him to do; to watch every film he's in. So far, don't snap yet, just don't. Not even for the fraudulent Camp Hell (2010).

Bad reviews - poof! - disappear - Now You See Me has a brave plot. Accepted, the film felt hurried and at times dragging, and progressively farcical, it is, if you look close enough, however, smart; how it finally came together in the end and you're sitting there, hexed in emotions you didn't think your mind can draw at the same time: confusion, incredulity, and stupefaction; off one's guard to rashly remove oneself from its best interests, like a magic show you walked out from because you felt tricked. Because it is a one big trick, this film. The magic of the plot is divided into those who see the strings and those who don't; the latter obviously enjoys it most.
