NOW YOU SEE ME (Theatrical Release USA 2013)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.6|5.0 Starsìììì

Now You See Me—one of the best acted and scripted films of 2013—turns into an unexpected ‘Wow!’ from its beginning to its end. A real visual and intellectual treat, the film easily earns its four-star rating. It’s a best work effort for Jesse Eisenberg (character J. Daniel Atlas), Woody Harrelson (character Merritt McKinney), Isla Fisher (character Henley Reeves), and Dave Franco (character Jack Wilder). The actors have been well paired with veteran, seasoned actors Michael Caine (character Arthur Tressler) and Morgan Freeman (character Thaddeus Bradley).
