No, actually the movie ends with Mark Ruffalo inducting the Four Horsemen into the secret order of the Eye. The movie ends with Mark Ruffalo hopping on his flying pig and riding into the sunset. His family didn’t get the insurance from his father’s death - and their insurance company was owned by Evil Rich Michael Caine, and the money would’ve come from the French Bank, and he also blamed Morgan Freeman for his father’s death. He drowned because the safe malfunctioned, because the safe was made cheaply by the safe company that wound up being the company that owned the Top Secret Warehouse. His father was the magician who drowned in the East River. It’s at this point that Mark Ruffalo, who has spent the whole movie being the most lovably terrible FBI agent ever, reveals that he is actually the brilliant mastermind behind the whole thing.

But when the safe arrives, they open it up: And it’s full of balloon animals! And then a lot of other stuff happens that I can’t even get into because my brain hurts, but all the money from the safe winds up in Morgan Freeman’s car, and the FBI thinks he robbed the bank, so they put him in prison.Īnyhow, at this point you’re primed to believe that the whole movie is secretly about time-traveling wizard aliens who are also ghosts dreaming the whole movie inside of a videogame created by Tommy Westphall. They go to the Top Secret Warehouse…and it turns out that the safe is already gone! But they intercept the safe and decide they’re going to follow the safe, since presumably that will lead them to the Horsemen. But that doesn’t matter, because the FBI figures out that the Four Horsemen are going to steal a safe from a Top Secret Warehouse. Ruffalo and the FBI chase the magicians to the New York Hologram Loft, where Ruffalo has an awesome fight scene with Dave Franco of all people, and winds up in a car chase, and Dave Franco apparently dies. I actually think it’s totally possible to watch this movie pretending that Woody Harrelson is his character from Natural Born Killers. So the Four Horsemen are now fugitives on the run, just like in Natural Born Killers, and they have become celebrities for their crimes, just like in Natural Born Killers.
Jack Wilder just does a funny magic trick and then steals a guy’s wallet, which is at least realistic. (One of the weirdest parts of Now You See Me is that Merrit has to keep explaining what a “mentalist” is, because apparently no one has ever seenthe popular CBS program The Mentalist.) Henley Reeves does the old chained-underwater trick, but adds in digital man-eating piranhas, and then pretends to be eaten alive, because magicians love piranhas. So he’s Professor X, literally, he is a telepath. (He bribed the building’s maintenance guy, because as we all know, building maintenance guys have access to a room where you can hit a specific button to make a 7 of Diamonds appear illuminated on the side of your building.) Merritt McKinney is a mentalist who hypnotizes a woman, figures out that her husband is cheating on her with her sister, shakes the husband down for $250, and then makes the woman forget about the affair. Daniel Atlas does the old “pick a card” trick, and somehow makes the 7 of Diamonds appear on the side of a New York skyscraper. The movie begins with an extended introduction to four magicians with increasingly ludicrous names performing increasingly ludicrous magic. Since its release in 2016, a third movie in the franchise has been announced.Let me try to explain. The first film sees an FBI agent and Interpol detective trying to track them down, while the sequel sends the team to Macau, China, where a devious tech wizard uses their abilities for his own gain. Together, they pull off bank heists and robberies during performances to reward their audiences with money stolen from the rich. The films follow a team of magicians who call themselves the "Four Horsemen,” and use their magician specialties to be the Robin Hoods of society. Daniel 'Danny' Atlas / The Lover: An arrogant illusionist and street magician, and the ostensible leader of the Four Horsemen. In his early twenties, Wilder is the youngest of the Four Horsemen. "Now You See Me" got a pretty lukewarm reception from critics, but was popular enough with audiences to inspire an even bigger, more magical sequel. Additionally, he is a pickpocket, and is able to pick locks. They weren't quite magical in the "Harry Potter" sense (though their tricks often veer into the realm of the impossible), but they did spark a sense of wonder and fun. Way back in the distant past of 2013, four magicians arrived on the screen.
