What: The thing, though, is that magicians doing a heist is such a dumb-good idea. Like, why wasn't it already a cliche before Now You See Me came out? Why wasn't the reaction, "Oh god, not another robbing-a-bank-with-magic movie"?
Plus, we've got the not-inconsiderable charms of Isla Fisher, Jesse Eisenberg, Melanie Laurent, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and Common.
Representative quote: "First rule of magic: always be the smartest person in the room."
You might not like it if: Yes, the characters are pretty 2D. That is a price I am willing to pay for something that zips along like this without aliens, superheroes, or casual murder.
Connections to previous Wreckage: Mentioned as part of List #50.
Also, List #28 is all about Cons, Capers, and Heists on Screen.
