A group of magicians are rounded up by an unknown figure and rob a french bank of millions giving it to the audience at one of there shows. After this an FBI and Interpol agent take up there case but quickly discover that the closer they look the easier they are to trick.

A full out cast bring a heart to the movie as Jessie Eisenberg and Woody Harrison team up as the nerdy kid and the knowledgeable age again (from ZombieLand) which is backed up from a straight out amazing performance from Mark Ruffalo as the mysterious FBI agent holding it all together. Also giving credit to Dave Franco who returns for the success of 21 jump street to play Jack Wilder the youngest and most out there of the cast.

The film does not stop surprising you and makes you snigger to yourself much like you would in a sherlock Holmes film when they pull off a trick but to be honest I can't relate it to another film it is really in a genre that is quit "mysterious". The only thing I can say is that it leaves you with a smile on your face and for me that makes it a good movie. There is not much bad to day about it but it is no Shawshank redemption although it has the same feel to it.

In all it is a much better film then you would expect tricking everybody in the film and you at home. If you are looking for a feel good crime moving (theres not many) but this is one of them. 

"The closer you think you are the less you'll actually see"-trust him He's a magician- 80/100
