Film directed by Louis Leterrier and featuring a rich cast including Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman, Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Melanie Laurent, Michael Caine, Dave Franco, and Woody Harrelson. Standing out among them is the performance of the former, an actor I consider one of the best around, along with the usual Harrelson. Morgan Freeman is good too, but that's not news. An ambitious film, at times even spectacular, it tells the story of a group of four magicians who, in a tale tangled between fiction and reality, commit heists during their performances. The initial part is beautiful and captivating, but the film loses its way becoming a sort of action movie with the usual car chases seen and reviewed a thousand times. It recovers some points in the finale, but my overall judgment is insufficient. It could have been better.
