( EW.com ) -- This fast and airy thriller about a team of four magicians is an engagingly preposterous high-wire act . It never stops moving ( the camerawork , dialogue , and plot twists keep rushing at you ) , and it 's exceedingly clever â€ ” at least when it bothers to make sense , which is about two-thirds of the time . The film stars Jesse Eisenberg as an arrogant card sharp , Woody Harrelson as a mentalist who can divine anyone 's secrets , Isla Fisher as a lady-vixen David Copperfield , and Dave Franco as a wizardly thief . A mysterious leader brings the four of them together to do a high-powered Las Vegas act that climaxes in amazing on-stage bank thefts . Which is why a testy FBI agent ( Mark Ruffalo ) is soon on their trail . The agent gets teamed with a French Interpol officer ( MÃ©lanie Laurent ) he ca n't stop flirtatiously fighting with , but his real battle is with the demon-prank illusionists whose every move is destined to outwit him . At times , `` Now You See Me '' suggests Christopher Nolan 's `` The Prestige '' made with a throwaway wink . The actors , including Morgan Freeman as an anti-showman devoted to revealing the magicians ' secrets , look like they 're having so much fun that you can forgive the periodic arbitrariness of it all .
