Don't be Deceived, "Now You See It," Don't!
This slight of hand movie is slight of story & magic. It is crammed with pursuits, car chases & crashes to the point of disbelieft & utter tedium. Sadly, it is packed with star power whose combined talents fail to muster magic. Woody Harrelson did deliver as a devilish grifter. But, the bankable Morgan Freeman was sleep-walking his role. Freeman seemed hypnotized. Somone needed to wake him from his stupor. Let me keep you from being hoodwinked into seeing this somnabulant stinker. The only disappearing act was the $ I paid for my ticket. Freeman warned Mark Ruffalo, the detective on the case, "the closer you are the less you see." Don't be taken in, there is nothing here worth seeing.
