Critics Consensus

Now You See Me's thinly sketched characters and scattered plot rely on sleight of hand from the director to distract audiences.

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

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.

Rated: 3/5

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

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

Now You See Me may boast incidental pleasures courtesy of an all-star cast, but the film’s oft-repeated line “the closer you look, the less you’ll see” ultimately proves true.

Rated: 2/4

Keith & the Movies

The story is riddled with plot holes. Some characters are so poorly written. The magic, which should be a strong point, won’t blow anyone’s socks off.

Rated: 2.5/5

The script plays fast and loose with logic and credulity and Letterier leans far more on CGI than old-school stagecraft magic, but the energy provided by Letterier’s driving pace and swirling cameras keep the film bouncing along...

Entiendo que no es perfecta, el ritmo es lento en algunos momentos y se siente raro ver al personaje de Mark Ruffalo interactuar tomando en cuenta el final. Pero gracias a la química de los personajes y la trama bien elaborada, tenemos una película muy entrenida, divertida e interesante.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

O filme tem uma ótima ideia porém não consegue executá-la da melhor forma em todos os momentos. A reviravolta final é péssima e acaba por ser um dos muitos motivos que torna um filme divertido com potencial para ser bom em algo medíocre.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

A highly entertaining movie but that final twist was absolutely terrible and was not necessary and ruins the entire movie for me.
