Something different then usual, I gotta say that flow of the movie is constantly changing from one to another trick and twist but everything goes in the same direction and that is the goal of the magician's team-up and that is to give a show to the audience. A great movie to watch alone or in company because it definitively wants the viewer to engage and be part of every moment and trick. Definitive must watch.

Cool movie and it was somewhat clever in it's misderects but I struggle to completley invest in a film that's all plot and no charcacter.

Extremely convoluted film which just over half way I give up on. Watched till the end as I was off work ill.Still none the wiser!I must be stupid or something! Sometimes a bit of straight forward storytelling would be a pleasant surprise. Film got off to a good start with seven of diamonds trick, I picked the same card, and a few scams but went downhill in a very confusing series of convoluted twists that made no sense.

Nobody here? Spoiler warning: The movie is s parable of the 2008 financial crisis. The opening "bank robbing" is the General Societe, the Englishmen stands for the AIG in London and the head of all even looks like Timothy Geithner. Morgan Freeman is Obama. But while this gives the movie some depth and a bit to laugh it's full of simply unbelievable story telling (remember the trick in the FBI cell of one of the magicians who was cuffed and managed to free himself while cuffing the investigator? While this scene is later in the movie analyzed (because of course there is a camera in the cell) one asks herself why this analyzing wasn't done immediately? I for sure would want to know asap how this could happen if I were an agent ...) But then again, look what "errors" happened under the FED in real life... Apart from that 2008/Wall-Street analogy the movie has it's boring action sequences (oh yeah let's crash some cars again), fast video like cutting ... an average movie.
