Now You See Me.

Now You See Me came out on home video at the beginning of this month, September 3rd to be exact. I saw this movie in theaters with a friend. We both loved it. I wanted to go see it again before it came out on DVD, but I never got the chance to.  Either way now that it is out on DVD I cannot wait to see it again. 

If you haven't heard of this movie yet, let me give you a little run down.  The movie is about four magicians who live in separate parts of the country.  They all receive the same invitation that takes them all to New York. Each of the magicians is a different type of magician. They each have different talents. They go to New York and they end up teaming up together and doing magic shows all over the country. They call themselves the four horsemen. They do a show where they rob a bank and get arrested. The police try to catch them in the act. Once they rob the bank an investigation begins and Dylan Rhodes gets put on the job (played by Mark Ruffalo). He calls on Thaddeus Bradley (Played by Morgan Freeman). Thaddeus basically takes magician acts and dissects them to figure out what the trick is. Then he makes a show about it and exposes it to the world.  Throughout the movie you think you are rooting for the Four Horsemen, but by the end you see that that changes and you are supposed to see something else;  something bigger. This movie was so good. It was full of plot twists that kept you interested. It helps that Dave Franco is in it, but that's matter of personal opinion.

My favorite quote in this movie is, "The closer you look the less you see." It just reminds you that you need to step back and look at the bigger picture once in a awhile. If you are trying to figure something out, if you keep looking at the finer details, you won't ever figure it out unless you step back and look at the whole thing.  

A lot of the reviews are mixed on different sites. On Rottentomatoes.com, the reviews are mixed right down the middle. Some people love it and others hate the ending or that it was dumb. On IMDB.com the reviews are that 70% like it and 30% didn't. But a lot of people that I have talked to loved it!  Now that it is out on DVD I am definitely going to buy it and I suggest you should at least check it out and decide for yourself.
