Mindless Saturday night diversion. Four mid-tier magicians are gathered together to become major headliners as the Four Horsemen. Part of their act involves robbery.
Very slick production with perpetual camera movement, rapid effects, as well as the various capers. Plot sweeps swiftly, with barely a letup or quiet moment. In other words, one doesnât really think about particulars until the credits.
Then itâs like, âHey, wait a minute ... â
Fun, but despite a stellar cast *, doubt I would ever rewatch this empty popcorn flick.
* Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo

... WTF did I just watch?!
One seriously weird movie... jam-packed with CG effects, and a plot so ludicrous it makes... uh... er, the movie fried my brain and I can't complete this sentence. It's pretty ludicrous, is what I'm getting at.
It's got so many holograms and shit, it's like Tony Stark took some really bad acid, and this is what his trip looked like. With his buddy Bruce playing himself as an FBI agent. F*** it, that makes more sense than anything in the actual movie; I'm gonna go with that. C
