    Crime pays(?)

    No pun intended - the question is what or rather which crime we are talking about ... with the ending suggesting this could get into overtime ... or rather could spawn sequels ... there are worse things out there of course ... still this is no Oceans Eleven (or how many they are in the group ... six? I really didn't care to count ... not to mention ... but let's not get into details).

    I like Cam for example, but his character here is way over the top. His introduction chasing a teenager ... bugging him is almost fun ... especially considering the rebel he was playing in the OC show ... but he gets annoying really quick ... and not in a good way. Still if you like heist movies ... with twists every now in a while ... well ... this is decent to watch (no pun intended once again)

    I don't think there's a heist movie better than "Now You See Me".

    Bad people do deserve punishment, but hitting them directly won't cut it. Stealing from bad guys really relies on a series of assumptions and careful planning, but having a safety net is like having hidden pieces on the chessboard to prevent moles and set up moles. Seeing from the trailer that a group of people with various skills are getting together to plan an art heist, it's such an exciting and tense scenario that builds up anticipation. You're waiting to see each team member shine in their roles, but the actual content spends quite a bit of time setting up the legitimacy of the art heist, which takes away from the unexpected surprises. Comparing it to another incredible movie about outsmarting bad guys and stealing their stuff, "Now You See Me," it falls a bit short, to be honest.

    So terribal it's funny

    Imagine every possible cinema cliché smashed together with amateur writing, gimmicky effects and bellow average directing.

    From explosions that look like keyed out greenscreen motion graphics just thrown onto some footage to cringeworthy "hacking scenes" I spent more time laughing at this film than enjoying the story, it's a serious movie with a serious storyline but fails to give any backstory or further information on the characters involved, we almost just get thrown into heist scenes with no real motive for anything? I struggle to connect with the characters or what the greater mission is.

    Watch this film for a quick cringeworthy laugh but it's a highschool experimental film level movie.

    I think the writer's idea was well intentioned and it really could've been a great film, if only the execution was better 🙁

    Righteous Thieves - can't watch for more than 10min

    Good story and could be a great watch. However, it's a badly directed movie, which makes this film boring to watch. Cust is not good either. I watched this movie for about 10 minutes and gave up. It's like watching in high school theater low-level play. What could have been a pretty solid heist story is thwarted by budgetary shortcomings, bits of awkward or confusing writing, and draggy direction that makes things feel like they're taking too long. Viewers are forced to deal with unremarkable characters and stale banter, which doesn't sell the electricity of the players and their specific game.

    It was all going really well

    Until the opening credits ended.

    Dreadful accents, cliche upon cliche, all with that B-Movie look.

    I don't quite know what it is, but you recognize it immediately.

    Somebody who really shouldn't have tried to make a movie.

    What a waste.

    Of time, effort, money. Whatever.

    It's a good premise too. We still don't know where all that looted art went. If indeed it went anywhere.

    South America?

    Private collections?

    Swiss Bank vaults?

    Such a shame. If only someone had told this director to just STOP.

    I felt it was my duty to warn you.

    To spare you.

    I'll never get those minutes back.

    Please DON'T watch this.
