What it's about:
An elite FBI squad is pitted against "The Four Horsemen", a super-team of the world's greatest illusionists, in a game of cat-and-mouse. The Four Horsemen pull off a series of daring heists against corrupt business leaders during their performances, showering the stolen profits on their audiences while staying one step ahead of the law.
What the critics said:
"If you're OK with the film playing you for a sap, you'll laugh and clap and wonder how that bird got into that hat. But if you think there's a difference between being tricked and being cheated, you may feel swindled."
- Alonso Duralde, The Wrap
"For all the talent up on the screen - and one can't fault the performances - the movie just doesn't deliver."
- Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
"The actors, including Morgan Freeman as an anti-showman devoted to revealing the magicians' secrets, look like they're having so much fun that you can forgive the periodic arbitrariness of it all."
- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
