Now You See Me was a surprise hit when it came out a couple of years ago. The sequel does not quite live up to the first installment but is a worthwhile addition to the story of the Four Horsemen.
This movie, much like the first one will keep you on your toes and trying to figure out where the next twist is coming from. This works in a negative effect though as things aren’t as surprising, given you’ve seen the first one. There are a few scenes that drag on a bit as well but that is a minor setback.
I am tempted to still put this movie as a comedy as Woody Harrelson steals the show playing his character and his characters twin brother. He makes it look easy but i’m sure it was a difficult acting scenario to encounter.
Short and sweet – If you enjoyed the first one you will enjoy this one as well. The only difference being this time you know not to take things as they appear.
ROASTED RIPPER SCORE – B-
