Virag's Movie Reviews: Now You See Me (2013)

I'm not shipping Shoshanna and Bruce in this flick; that chemistry was non-existent.  What would work, though, is a Mark Ruffalo and Morgan Freeman pairing; those dudes were great together on screen.  The rest of the cast was pretty C-list.  Haymitch looked disengaged; that kid is fucking annoying; Isla Fisher is awful; Franco's little brother probably collects a check from the family to make James look better.  The screenplay was unbelievably dumb, but the pacing and direction were not snappy or clever enough to distract you from the inanity, so that's not good.  For the sequel, they should have Ruffalo and Freeman going around doing card tricks and smacking people around.  That'd be fun.
