Now You See Me 2
The Four Horsemen – Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco and Lizzy Caplan (replacing Isla Fisher) – are back in this sequel to the 2013 illusionist heist adventure. This time, they’re joined by a familiar-looking magician… Daniel Radcliffe.
One year after outwitting the FBI and winning the public's adulation with their Robin Hood-style magic spectacles, the Horsemen resurface for a comeback performance in hopes of exposing the unethical practices of a tech magnate. The man behind their vanishing act is none other than Walter Mabry (Radcliffe), a tech prodigy who threatens the Horsemen into pulling off their most impossible heist yet. Their only hope is to perform one last unprecedented stunt to clear their names and reveal the mastermind behind it all.

flicksThe sequel that should have been called Now You Don’t is slightly better than the first Now You See Me. That’ll either have you super excited or completely uninterested in this follow-up. Hopefully you’re the former, because that means you’ll happily forgive some preposterous and downright stupid stuff in order to see some pretty nifty set pieces.
Now You See Me 2 is the sequel to the 2013 film with the same title. This time with bigger illusions, out of this world magic tricks and ridiculous heists. With majority of the cast returning, is Now You See Me 2 able to capture the same excitement and intrigue as the first one did?
Under the watchful gaze of a secret organization called The Eye, The Four Horsemen are reunited for another heist disguised as an illusion. But when things go south and the act sabotaged, it’s up to The Horsemen to figure out who’s playing the tricks on them. With this being a sequel it’s expected for this to have bigger spectacles and crazier magic tricks...
The opening sequence of this was so good, I was so keen to see where it would lead and surprised considering the reviews I had read prior. Then Woody Harrelson's twin appeared and it all kind of went downhill. I didn't feel any of the new characters worked that well especially Daniel Radcliffe. Overall was very predictable none of the 'twists' were very...

pressA madly spinning top of a movie, powered by an eagerness to please that somehow comes off as more innocent than calculated.

pressFrom that vastly unpromising, tedious, predictable and then laughably bad opening stanza, Now You See Me 2 just gets steadily worse.

pressNo less than in the glossy caper's 2013 predecessor, the plot rides a surging tide of ridiculousness and culminates in a pileup of unconvincing explanations.
