NOW YOU SEE ME 2 - film / by Stephanie Puls

This not-at-all-needed sequel to Now You See Me is, well, meh.

Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco and Lizzy Caplan as the 'Four Horsemen' magicians who stage a huge heist to expose the bad guys, this film didn't do it for me.

I'll cut to the chase - if you saw the first one and liked it, sure, get along to this one. If you haven't seen the first one, you definitely don't need to see this one.

I'm puzzled by how such big names wound up in such a mediocre film. In addition to the previously mentioned names, we're talking Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, Daniel Radcliffe and Michael Caine.

A two star review in the Fairfax press here, if you want to know more. I concur on the two stars.

Trailer here. In cinemas now.
