The Four Horsemen are exposed by a tech genius who hires them to pull off yet another impossible heist.
Even more impossible and less fun. As promised for Now You See Me (2013): https://kaygazpro.com/now-you-see-me-2013/, I’ll make it quick – even more so.
Director Jon M. Chu puts on the director’s hat for this one, and it’s not his fault, really. His best films began with Crazy Rich Asians (2018) and, in 2024 and 2025, found even more success with Wicked and Wicked: for Good, respectively. Back to Now You See Me 2, it is less fun than the first one because it undermines people’s intelligence. To the point that makes one ask, ‘Why would you do that?’. When the audience doesn’t stand a chance of figuring it out on their own, the film becomes a pure gimmick. Like with the first one, they have to explain everything, word-for-word, shot-for-shot, and even why they do that, every step, raises numerous unanswered questions.
The cast remains the only reason to watch it. But it is not enough. Everyone should have known better. But, hey, it somewhat made some profit, so moving on to the third one!
