The magic tricks are quite spectacular, especially one which features Ms Fisher floating above the audience in a giant bubble. But Now You See Me needed more sharpness for it be a really good film.

It's a fun set-up with a terrific cast - [Jesse] Eisenberg plays against type as a smooth-talking card trickster while [Woody] Harrelson radiates easy charm as a mentalist and serial flirt.

Audiences go to magic shows to get fooled, but that doesn't mean they want to leave feeling cheated.

I could have used more character development to help with the lulls in the story. This is a movie I didn't need in my life.
