![]() ![]() Unfortunately for her I thought Mélanie Laurent was very near pointless. Ruffalo is good, shows lots of intensity and the appropriate amount of angst for cop vs robbers. Mark Ruffalo is the FBI agent trying to get to the bottom of the group of thieves. I think if I was making a film like this I would ensure the four of them share an equal amount of screen time and have strong characters. Isla Fisher and Dave Franco I lump together because while they were good they were mostly underused and sort of the sidekicks to Eisenberg and Harrelson most of the time. ![]() He was probably my favourite character and yet there wasn't a lot done with him which is unfortunate. I thought Woody Harrelson was excellent in his role as a mentalist that can hypnotize. ![]() His character is smug and egotistical but fits the role nicely and carries the cast well. That's not to say he didn't do a good job, I just didn't like him much. I didn't much care for Jesse Eisenberg's character. I'm just surprised they actually signed on to this but then again it is making okay money at the box office. The cast certainly is not the issue for this film. The big twist has no groundwork laid for it and makes no sense at all but by that time you are so completely lost in the silly story that you won't care that it doesn't make sense. It was a very interesting experience when the big final twist of the movie was revealed and everyone in the theatre I was in gasped and then that was immediately followed by many people whispering "That's dumb," "That doesn't make sense." They are exactly right. Now You See Me just throws in all kinds of tricks and twists without any build up or thinking about whether or not it makes sense. A truly smart film can be smart and tricky without trying SO hard. Decent cast, some real twists and turns but a blatantly complicated plot line that makes little sense and tries way too hard just to be complex. Well, I don't mean to toot my own horn but I don't think I'm a stupid individual and I've seen thousands of movies.more than your average joe because I love movies. Reading some of the reviews on here, many of them "claim" that people with a low IQ dislike the film. I remember seeing the trailers for this and I thought it really looked great. ![]()
