It's clearly the sequel to 'Now You See Me'. The director changes (here it's John Chu) and Lizzy Caplan practically replaces Isla Fisher, while Daniel Radcliffe joins the cast. Frankly, I found it terrible, ugly, and incredibly boring, and I couldn't even finish watching it. The plot of the movie, however, starts with a flashback showing the scene of the death of Dylan Rhodes aka Dylan Shrike, and picks up the story from where the first film left off, developing right away with what should be a chain of twists in a succession of action scenes. It seems they're now going to make a third installment, a sign that it must have somehow worked at the box office, and I don't know how, and perhaps that's the biggest magic of the film, the part I just can't explain.
