Now You See Me: Knowing its Best (A Movie Review)


              First I have to break it to you, its confirmed there will be a sequel for the movie. According to the  Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer, there will be asequel to the film with production beginning in 2014 for an unspecified release date and the main cast will also be back for the sequel.

               
              Now you see me  is a 2013 French-American caper thriller film directed by Louis Leterrier ( director of Transporter movies, Unleashed (2005), The Incredible Hulk (2008), and Clash of the Titans (2010)).  . The film stars Jesse Eisenberg( illusionist) who played as Mark Zukerberg in the movie `The Social Network", Mark Ruffalo( FBI agent called to investigate the bank theft) who receives an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor., Woody Harrelson( mentalist)and known as Haymitch Abernathy in The Hunger Games Trilogy , Mélanie Laurent( Interpol agent who is partnered up with Dylan Rhodes to investigate the bank theft) a Jewish actress , Isla Fisher( escapist) the famous Rebecca Bloomwood the novel of Sophie Kinsella Confession of a Shopaholic , Dave Franco(( sleight of hand illusionist) the brother of Jame Franco , and Morgan Freeman( Thaddeus Bradley, an ex-magician who makes money by revealing the secrets behind other magicians' tricks) the most notable man in America in movies and in deity movies.

        The movie is about a four street magicians who was hired by a mysterious guy in hoodie to collaborate and go as a team.A scene wherein the magicians are having a show and they will rob a bank in Paris when it seem to be very impossibe beacause they are in Las Vegas.But despite of the timezone barriers they manage to rob a bank and make the money explode at the arena.Now the authorities(FBI ) and an ex-magician who had entered into the bussiness of exposing magicians tricks of magicians codes. They are alarmed and eager to exposed to the public on what they know or they discover.
          The chasing had begun when Mark Ruffalo  the FBI agent interrogated the 4 Horsemen (the magicians)
and found nothing on the interrogation process instead being humiliated when he was chained after interacting with  Jesse Eisenberg one of the horsemen. After that Mark Ruffalo was then eager to chase the horsemen as if there are other reasons aside from a mission to accomplish.
           The twist was then revealed when the Mr. Hoodie man was the FBI agent himself! In the prison cell where he was put after in appears to the suspect of the shocking tricks by the 4 horsemen. He was having a conversation with Morgan Freeman when he use another trick to exchanged himself to be freed and ended up Morgan Freeman to be in a prison cell instead of him.


            For the technical aspects of the movie, I would like to commend the Brian Tyler`s music arrangement in how it adds to the mixing of emotions and the excitement of every sequence of story.The movie`s photography, including both the shooting and development of the film the cinemagraphy is flawless and its very costly because it involves burning of cars,printing of play money,and a lot of extras where you have to pay each and every person in front of the camera. I could now imagine the burning of midnight candles of the person involve in the editing process.It was a blast editors.I`m speechless as of editing.
