Now You See Me

Actors:  Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Mélanie Laurent, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine
Rating:  8 out of 10, A really good movie about magicians, who thought that was possible.  Caine and Freeman are back together without the caped crusader and both playing villains which is a cool twist.  Jesse Isenberg is definitely moving beyond his typical geek roles and Isla Fisher is her usual awesome (in everything except off screen marital choices). It was neat to see two older, supremely competent actors like Freeman and Caine on the screen with young talent like Eisenberg, Fisher, and the peerless Mark Ruffalo who all more than held their own.  I was prepared to dislike this film but it drew me in. 
MVP:  Ruffalo as the harried, or is he, FBI agent Dylan
