Moose Movie Minute - "Now You See Me"

It sat on my shelf for almost 2 months, but at last it has reach me eyes and seeped into my brain.  And for me, it was well worth the wait.

I finally watch the film, "Now You See Me" with stars Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco and awesome Morgan Freeman and the equally awesome Michael Caine.  Come on, this movie has God and Batman's Butler, it has to be good right?

All kidding aside (like I could do that), this was a really wonderful movie.  An excellent thriller that keeps you guessing at every turn.  It's this guy, no it's that guy, maybe it's the girl, no it can't be her, or could it?  Just when you think you might know who did it, think again because you're wrong.  There are great special effects in almost every scene and some excellent dialogue between most of the main characters.  Woody and Jesse banter back and for just as well as they did in "Zombieland" (see that too if you haven't)

For a brief synopsis:
"An FBI agent and an Interpol detective track a team of illusionist who pull off bank heists during their performances and reward their audiences with the money" - IMDB

I happened to watch this film on my Vudu digital copy, but I'm sure watching it on Blu-Ray or DVD would be equally good.  I kind of wish that I would've seen this movie in the theater for some of those special-effects scenes mentioned before.   I won't give any spoilers, but just know that there is a warehouse scene later in the movie that is very cool to see.  No matter where or how you watch it, it's a excellent film that I highly recommend.

Have you seen it?  What did you think about it?  Let me know in the comments below.
