3 stars
Very flashy but with a frustrating ending that forces you to rethink the entire film. Four talented magicians are recruited by a mystery mastermind to magically rob banks and drop the cash onto their audience members (Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, and Jesse Eisenberg as his usual arrogant self). Other stars include Mark Ruffalo and Melanie Laurent as detectives investigating the burglaries, as well as Michael Cain and Morgan Freeman as more enigmatic characters. It is fun and entertaining to watch, but it’s the sort of ending that drives me crazy because it seems designed to make you pay to watch the film a second time from a different perspective. (On principle, I won’t). Anyways, it’s still a fun film.
