Now You See Me	comment	Now You See Me is a 2013 thriller-caper film directed by Louis Leterrier and starring Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, MÃ©lanie Laurent, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman.The film is about a group of Robin Hood-style magicians called the Four Horsemen, composed of J. Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), a professional street magician who specializes in escalating card tricks; Merritt McKinney (Woody Harrelson), a hypnotist, mentalist and mind reader; Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher), an escape artist; and Jack Wilder (Dave Franco), a street artist, voice imitator and Master of Unlocking. They use their illusions to steal money and give it to their audience despite the impossibility of it. As they become more infamous, an FBI agent and an Interpol detective chase after them.Watch the trailer here. A sequel, titled Now You See Me 2 was released in June, 2016. A second sequel, so far titled Now You See Me 3, was announced in April 2020. After languishing in Development Hell for a while, in April 2024 it was revealed that the third film was indeed going forward, with Ruben Fleischer (Venom, Zombieland) as director and most of the original cast returning (including Fisher as Henley after sitting the 2nd film out due to her pregnancy), as well as new additions Ariana Greenblatt, Justice Smith, and Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers).Don't confuse with the magician-centric Disney film, Now You See It....

Now You See Me / int_11ad560b	comment	In the scene before J. Daniel Atlas and Merritt McKinney enter the secret room, McKinney tells Atlas that he is a "bit of a Control Freak," to which Atlas replies "Have we met before?" This is a nod to the previous film Harrelson and Eisenberg had starred in, Zombieland.

Now You See Me / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers make it look to be that these magicians are using highly advanced technology to pull off their crimes, even showing one of them using the "Teleporter". Where in the movie the teleporter is just a prop and it is done by someone in the audience. Though it is clear through the nature of the film this was intentional since everything (such as finding high tech plans) leading up to the teleporter in the first act heavily suggests that the trailer was true.

On the other hand, their targets aren't saints themselves, being the man who destroyed the Fifth Horseman's father's career, the insurance company that refused to pay out on Shrike's life insurance, and the safe company whose sub-standard safe making played a role in Shrike's death.

Just about everything the Horsemen do that is not part of one of their shows is setting up for one of them or outwitting the police. For example, that bit where Daniel tries (and fails) reading Tressler? A cleverly disguised ploy to trick Tressler into giving them the answers to the "Forgot your password?" security questions on his bank account. Lionel Shrike's trick of the card in the tree, and the briefly mentioned nearby carousel. At the end, it's where the Four Horsemen meet Dylan, who reveals himself to be the one behind everything and welcomes them to The Eye.

When the Horsemen first meet in the NYC apartment and see the holographic schematics, the name TRESSLER briefly appears. When the trick of how the money disappeared from the bank is explained, the flash-paper used is an origami rabbit, complete with drawn-on eyes, nose and whiskers. In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment of the extended release, there's a moment in the scene after Jack drops the tracker on Dylan, where a woman pulls her shirt up, revealing her breasts.

Jack offers $100 to anyone who can see how he does his spoon trick, pays up... then makes off with the guy's wallet. And wristwatch.

Now You See Me / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: The film's tagline, "The closer you look, the less you'll see." What character does the film follow the most closely? Dylan, who it turns out is the fifth Horseman. Not one related to the main twist, but Bradley is introduced noticeably using a phone to record the Horsemen's show, being forced to give that up and only then revealing the camera he actually uses to film. This is the same kind of misdirection magicians use, hinting at his training as one of them, and the fact he knows the tricks. When Merritt's reading Rhodes, he mentions that he has "daddy issues" hinting at his being the Big Bad on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge The Horsemen trick everyone into thinking Jack Wilder died in the car explosion. Now, who got the "death" tarot card at the beginning again? Also, a very basic knowledge about tarots is that the card Death does not represent death, but change. An early hint that the death is actually fake. Tarot knowledge also lets a bit more foreshadowing be known; the first card we see in the film is the seven of diamonds. The Suit of Pentacles represents material wealth; all the Asshole Victims in the film have Greed as at least one of their motivations. The seven of Pentacles itself represents reaching a new level or a prediction of future success, which in both cases is the prediction of the Four Horsemen. Dylan being called The Fool. The Fool tarot often represents an innate cleverness hidden by an apparent foolishness, foreshadowing that he isn't as stupid as he seems. Jack's introduction foreshadows a lot of his role in the plot. First, he is not introduced as a magician, but as a thief, with his goal being picking pockets and not the performance, plus he is the one that picks the lock on the door (Merritt does blackmail his audience, but it's still during the performance itself). His con also relies on being found out and exposed. He is the one of the four that is discovered by the police, he pretends to fail at escaping, and he is the one stealing from the vault while the other three go on with the act. Speaking of introductions, the first four tricks revealed (misdirection by making you look too close, a fake death, having your secrets exposed and a theft) sum up the plot of the movie. You need five cards for a Tarot reading. The five cards are in order of appearance: King of Spades/Swords, Lovers, Hermit, High Priestess, Death. The hidden card is revealed to be the one hidden in backstory magic trick and is the last one that the Horsemen see so for them the reading is: Lovers, Hermit, High Priestess, Death, King of Spades/Swords. During Bradley and Tressler's confrontation, the latter is playing with a Voodoo Doll upon which Bradley comments "... one who uses a doll to enact one's own wrath, is likely to bring that very wrath unto himself." Later Tressler is indeed being punished for his corruption. Bradley and Rhodes discuss the role of the magician's assistent. Rhodes says that his role is to distract the attention from the actual trick, while Thadeus smugly remarks that instead she is the one doing the actual work, hinting that his interpol partner might be connected to the Horsemen. This works on two levels: on the first, Rhodes is basically admitting that she is a distraction while he is the mastermind, with Bradley being too self-satisfied to notice. On another layer, the Horsemen can be considered the assistants to Rhodes in the scheme, and Bradley spends the movie following them and believing them to be doing the hard work while Rhodes is the one pulling the strings. Rhodes will also be the one performing the actual trick on Bradley: framing him and putting him in jail for life. Dylan's superior's sarcastic remark that the amount of help Dylan's incompetence has been to the Horsemen is like a magic trick in itself. Dylan being able to tell exactly what his hypnotized superior is pretending to play hints that he knows a lot more about what's going on than he is telling. Alma's explanation of Lionel Shrike's trick of the card encased in glass in a 20-year old tree, and how you have to be able to look far into the past to deduce how it was done. In the same way, you only understand the motivation behind everything that the Horsemen do and everyone they target if you look far enough back — to Lionel Shrike's death, specifically. The complex broadcasting setup of the third show only has three cameras, placed in pefect triple symetry. The Horsemen had planned way ahead that Jack would not be there. Dray too notices this when her eyes linger on the setup, but she doesn't have the time to bring it up. During his interrogation, Daniel Atlas smugly tells Dylan that the first rule of magic is to be the smartest one in the room. Turns out, Dylan really was the smartest one in that room, being the mastermind behind everything.

Now You See Me / int_ab5eea65	comment	Dramatic Irony: The scenes between Art Tressler and Thaddeus Bradley can be summarized as predicting their own downfalls. Arthur brags that he has a huge bank account and threatens to "manacle" Thaddeus with so many injunctions. The Horsemen distributes Arthur's $140M bank account to the audience, revealed to be policyholders of Tressler's Insurance that were loopholed after Hurricane Katrina. Thaddeus assures that Arthur is only a distraction for the final act, and tells him that his ego is blinding him to the truth. The third act's prime target is Thaddeus Bradley himself, and Dylan tells him that his ego (in his case, about being smart enough to stay one step ahead) blinded him to the truth.

For most of the movie, short skirts are her limit. Played straight in her introduction shot, which features her stripping into a glittery swimsuit for an escape act (justified, as the danger of the trick is more believable when she's more exposed/vulnerable).note Note that, in the original draft of the script, there was no female in the Four Horsemen.

Indeed, the similarities go on, from the dueling illusionists, decades-long plots to avenge a loved one's death, mysterious benefactors, right down to Michael Caine. When Morgan Freeman says, "These bars give a man time to think..." He says the same line in The Shawshank Redemption. In the scene before J. Daniel Atlas and Merritt McKinney enter the secret room, McKinney tells Atlas that he is a "bit of a Control Freak," to which Atlas replies "Have we met before?" This is a nod to the previous film Harrelson and Eisenberg had starred in, Zombieland.

Now You See Me / int_f9f2c33	type	Running Gag
Now You See Me / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Fuller catches so much flack, deliberate or incidental, during the fight with Jack Wilder that it probably rates as this.

Now You See Me / int_fb1fb07f	type	Doomy Dooms of Doom
Now You See Me / int_fb1fb07f	comment	While the Horsemen are scrambling on realizing the FBI's gotten ahead of them, we get a brief shot of one of their "recruitment" Tarot cards — specifically, XIII Death, which was Jack's recruitment card. Given the pre-existing overuse of Death as cheap doomy foreshadowing, it's easy to believe that Jack dies in the ensuing car chase.

Now You See Me / int_fb6b207f	type	You Killed My Father
Now You See Me / int_fb6b207f	comment	You Killed My Father: Dylan's main motivation, both for framing Thaddeus and for choosing all of the Four Horsemen's other targets, though none of them actually killed his father, who was responsible for his own death. Thaddeus exposed Lionel Shrike's magic act and humiliated him, causing him to attempt the trick that got him killed and Elkhorn manufactured the safe used in the trick which, due to the intentionally inferior materials and construction, warped after sinking into the water, trapping Lionel inside, and Tressler Insurance, which refused to pay out the coverage on Shrike's life-insurance policy because no-one could procure Lionel's body.

Now You See Me / int_fbcdeede	comment	Leap of Faith: Discussed, as a condition for joining the Eye, and shown symbolically in the gang's last public trick where they jump off a building and turn into money. In truth, their leap of faith was in following the instructions given by their mysterious benefactor.
