Good magicians never let you know how they do their tricks, bad ones always get caught.
“Now You See Me”, is one of if not the best magician movies. In the next paragraphs, I will tell and explain to you why it is.
The movie is about 4 magicians called the Four Horsemen. They all have different backgrounds but want to accomplish the same goal.
The Four Horsemen consist of 3 boys and 1 girl. J. Daniels, Dylan Rhodes, Merritt McKinney, Jack Wilder, and Henley Reeves. They all have different talents. But they all can deceive and make people turn a blind eye.
The fun part is they all teach each other their tricks so they can become better as one and a world sensation together. Jack specializes in throwing cards, which piques Merritt´s interest so he starts teaching him how too. It takes him a little while but he accomplishes it which helps them tremendously in the biggest heist there is going to complete and the whole world will hear about it.
So they have to get a tour of the Macau Science Center to get a chip or their secret will be released. They go in with the guide and 4-5 bodyguards. The others distract them while Mr.Atlas sneaks under the thing to replace the chip with the fake one. It takes him a little longer than expected so his friends are getting anxious. He finally comes out but when he does the bodyguards and tour guide start getting suspicious. So they start checking all the horsemen to see if they stole the chip but due to the new tricks they all learned they throw the card back and forth to stay undetected. It’s all going well until the card gets stuck on one of the guards. Lula bumps into him and safely retrieves it.
The moral of the story the 4 horsemen eventually face the world and everybody loves and adores them except the police and FBI because they believe they’re robbers and stole money and other belongings but they didn’t and haven’t.
The series ended with them saying goodbye to the world after locking up the people who tried to kill them and also stealing money from people around the world.
The 4 horsemen are more than magicians, they are heroes and good samaritans, people might not think so but they saved everybody from a huge terrorist attack which would have made the world bad and broke and it would have looked like the Great Depression all over again.
It’s good that the movie was made and kind of sent a message. You can do things with the best intentions ever or the worst but maybe somewhere down the line, you can have a change of heart and want to do something for the better, even if it’s just benefitting people around you and not yourself.
