Now You See Me Now You Don't Review:
The famous group of illusionists, known as The Four Horsemen, are back in a third movie called Now You See Me Now You Don't. This is the third film of the Now You See Me franchise in almost a decade. The movie takes them on a global adventure and brings back the fun, fast-paced, and ridiculous action of the first film. The movie is directed by Ruben Fleischer (who also directed Zombieland and Venom). The film is successful, not because the plot makes logical sense, but because it completely commits to being a wildly unbelievable, highly entertaining show that blends crazy action with heist comedy.
The movie begins with the original Four Horsemen reuniting for what looks like a big new show. The original members are J. Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), Merritt McKinney (Woody Harrelson), Jack Wilder (Dave Franco), and the returning Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher). However, the real excitement starts when they meet a new, younger, tech-focused group of magicians. This new group is led by Charlie (Justice Smith), June (Ariana Greenblatt), and Bosco (Dominic Sessa). They have been using the Horsemen's fame and high-tech illusions (like holograms) to steal and redistribute wealth.
The plot is a wonderfully complicated and confusing puzzle full of fake clues, surprising turns, and betrayals. The main goal is a huge diamond heist targeting Veronika Vanderberg (Rosamund Pike), a powerful diamond seller and also an international crime boss. Rosamund Pike is the highlight, playing Veronika Vanderberg as a deliciously cold and powerful villain.
Director Fleischer keeps the energy high; instead of focusing on slow suspense, he delivers big, exciting action scenes. We get a fun, ridiculous car chase, a fight sequence full of illusions, and plenty of back-and-forth banter. The returning cast have a noticeable and charming connection between them; Woody Harrelson is highlighted as very captivating. It's great to see Isla Fisher back; however, most of the characters, including Isla Fisher's, do not develop significantly.
Like the movies before it, the film struggles to make viewers truly believe the illusions are possible. The illusions rely heavily on advanced technology, quick editing, and unbelievable movie logic so that they don't seem like actual magic tricks. Instead, the tricks feel more like special effects than real illusions. If you try to apply real-world logic, the entire movie stops making sense.
But here is the clever part: the movie is fully aware of its own flaw. Now You See Me Now You Don't simply invites the audience to relax and enjoy the big show without thinking too hard about the details. The movie is smart enough to know that it is silly and uses that knowledge to its benefit. It doesn't aim to be a serious, sophisticated heist film. Instead, it is designed to be an exciting rush of fun.
This is a perfect movie for having great fun. It is a big-budget film and only cares about making sure you have a good time. You'll probably forget it quickly after you leave the theater, but while you're watching, you'll be completely hooked by the action. You should go see it for the funny moments, the silliness of the action sequence, and a talented group of cast in this lighthearted heist comedy movie.
