The retired Horsemen reunite and join forces with three young illusionists against a powerful family.
What a waste of a superb cast! Like with Now You See Me (2013): https://kaygazpro.com/now-you-see-me-2013/ and Now You See Me 2 (2016): https://kaygazpro.com/now-you-see-me-2-2016/, I’m going to make this really quick – quicker than the previous two.
To start with, like with the second instalment, I will not blame director Ruben Fleischer for it, as it is visually pleasing. Here’s what to expect in a nutshell: The main plot is formulaic and unoriginal, the initial characters are undermined only to make the new one look good, the new characters just keep coming up with all sorts of abilities as the narrative unfolds and serve as gimmicks, the humour is cheap, the drama superficial, and the resolution just another expanation word-for-word and shot-for-shot – almost a copy/paste of the second one, just more ridiculous.
While the second one undermined human intelligence too, this one exceeds everyone’s expectations. A complete analysis of how bad it is can be made, but I’m going to stop here. Everything that can’t happen, happens, and this side of Hollywood just keeps reaching lower and lower. It is not even mediocre; it is just another money grab.
