Now You See Me

Today's film was 'Now You See Me'. It seems to have received quite poor reviews but I actually enjoyed it. As I've said before, I'm a sucker for magic, which may explain why I seem to have liked the film more than many of the reviewers.
The plot was a bit like the magic, plenty of misdirection. Just when you thought you knew why 'The Four Horsemen' were doing what they were doing, you discover that you were wrong. And the final twist was pretty difficult to foretell, although with hindsight there were clues along the way.
Mélanie Laurent added French interest and the final scene on Le Pont des Arts brought back memories of my recent stay in Paris.
If you like magic and are willing to have your imagination stretched somewhat then you may well enjoy this film.
