Bluffing kfooz

What is magic? Magic is deception, but deception designed to delight, to entertain, to inspire. It is about belief. Faith. Trust.

Now You See Me (2013)

Directed By: Louis Leterrier

Written by:  Ed Solomon (screenplay), Boaz Yakin (screenplay & story), Edward Ricourt (screenplay & story)

Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Dranco

Its a All star cast. Personally, what the film is supported by charimatic performances given by the leads. Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson, my favourite partner-in-crime from Zombieland, are back =)

I decided that I have to see this film right after watching the 4-minute-long preview (ok, also the fact that Jesse Eisenberg is in it and he's had a nice haircut ;p). It's smart, exciting and adrenaline rushing. Who doesn't like magic tricks?! Forget about rationality, it's Fun.

However, I still have to say that I hate the twist. It's forced, vain, fake, nonsense and out of nowhere. It's a big WTF moment! I wonder what lays ahead for the sequeal (yes, a sequel is undergoing).

And one more advice, please don't ever bother to explain magic! This film is like a magic trick, putting up a facade. So shut up and enjoy the entertaibnment. Don't be a killjoy.

Oh, and you know what I like the most about ending? This brillant song by the alternative French band Phoenix. The minute the intro pops up, I am happy again. 

"Entertainment"
Headline from this day on
Why you keep pretending that you wanna let go?
Do you wanna let go?
Loud volume turn to low low low low low low

What you want and what you do to me
I’ll take the trouble that you have in mind

Entertainment
Show them what you do with me
When everyone here knows better
What I once refused to be
Is everything they long together
I’d rather be alone

I love, I love, I love, I notice
I heard it all before I died
Before I knew you
Once upon a time would take too long, long, long, long, long, long
