The convoluted case is assigned to FBI agent Dylan Rhodes ( Mark Ruffalo) and French Interpol officer Alma Dray (Melanie Laurent). Post the robberies, the gang leaves no trace. They don't steal for themselves. Their misleading actions and ambiguous motives drive Rhodes to the edge.

There is something about a right ensemble that takes a film to a different level of brilliance. Now You See Me has a lot to do with the casting and the actors selected to play these characters.

All in all, Now You See Me is a decorous affair that entertains, but is trapped within a web of cliches. Watch it for the brilliant performances and the well delivered witty dialogues.Read full review2.5

He talks of his time in the junglesRead full review2.0

Shallow, silly and slick, Now You See Me is a guilty pleasure that entertains for these very carnal reasons. This is the sort of movie that falls apart under closer inspection. So you would do well to just enjoy the ride than question the destination.Read full review
