FILM CHOICE

Now You See Me (2013)

Film4, 9pm CLOSE-UP conjurer Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), escapologist Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher), mentalist Merrit Mckinney (Woody Harrelson) and street magician Jack Wilder (Dave Franco) are known as The Four Horsemen. In front of a live audience, they magically raid millions from a bank vault in Paris to the amazement of their sponsor Arthur Tressler (Michael Caine) and renowned sceptic Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman). But, within hours, the performers are under arrest and facing interrogation by FBI Agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo). Now You See Me is a highstakes game of cat and mouse between the four illusionists and law-enforcement. Eisenberg, Fisher, Harrelson and Franco relish the sniping banter between their characters.
