Now You See Me Movie Description:
Charismatic magician Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg) leads a team of talented illusionists called the Four Horsemen. Atlas and his comrades mesmerize audiences with a pair of amazing magic shows that drain the bank accounts of the corrupt and funnel the money to audience members. A federal agent (Mark Ruffalo) and an Interpol detective (Mélanie Laurent) intend to rein in the Horsemen before their next caper, and they turn to Thaddeus (Morgan Freeman), a famous debunker, for help.
Now You See Me is a 2013 American heist film directed by Louis Leterrier from a screenplay by Ed Solomon, Boaz Yakin, and Edward Ricourt and a story by Yakin and Ricourt. It is the first installment in the Now You See Me series. The film features an ensemble cast of Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Mélanie Laurent, Isla Fisher, Common, Dave Franco, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman. The plot follows an FBI agent and an Interpol detective who track and attempt to bring to justice a team of magicians who pull off bank heists and robberies during their performances and reward their audiences with the money.
The film premiered in New York City on May 21, 2013 before its official release in the United States on May 31, 2013, by Summit Entertainment. The film received mixed reviews with criticism being focused on the ending, but became a box office success, grossing $351.7 million worldwide against a budget of $75 million. The film won the People's Choice Award for Favorite Thriller Movie and also received nominations for the Empire Award for Best Thriller and the Saturn Award for Best Thriller Film and Best Music.
A sequel, Now You See Me 2, was released on June 10, 2016.

[@allisongrinnell5107]

Isla Fisher was actually trapped in the water in the scene at the beginning. She couldn’t undo her restraints and her banging on the glass and the people trying to break it were real.

[@HelloMellowXVI]

Damn Forreal? That's Crazy

[@drkushajagadeesh6347]

Come on, that can't be real. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Not to mention it would be a cold day in hell before the actress returned to shoot after a near-death experience like that. Edit: Well, I just checked up on it. And holy shit, it actually happened! 😱😅

[@HeartbrokenHeartshooter]

W Director

[@NickyNicole21]

came here to comment this lol yeah they figured she was just that great of an actress.. no she was drowning

[@signergirl1]

That is soo crazy! 😮😢

[@noctumdraco]

This movie says it right at the beginning "The closer you look, the less you see." When you actually go back and rewatch the movie, even without the 2nd movie, you see things you miss that point you at who the real 5th Horseman was.

[@StinkerpotsMom]

Yes you pick up different things when you rewatch it …like when they take them to FBI interrogation Woody Harrelson comments on the Mark Ruffalo character having abandonment issues from his dad. Def a well written movie!

[@filipvadas7602]

The buildup to the twist is well written, but I feel like their reliance on lying to the audience by having Ruffalo "investigate" even when nobody is looking kind of soured an otherwise solid twist.

[@stevedavis5704]

The one thing that this movie has that I have never seen mentioned in a reaction is that they actually tell you who the fifth horseman is. At the beginning when you see the one card that says “A rose by any other name “. For me that’s telling me that Dylan Rose is not who you think he is.

[@JamesWiseMagic]

As a magician myself, I love this movie. I saw it in theaters when it first came out. The second one is pretty good but not nearly as fun, the first one is definitely better. And a third movie is supposed to come out later this year believe it or not! So hopefully it's good! Unfortunately Isla Fisher didn't come back for the second movie due to her pregnancy. Also, a lot of the card flourishes in this movie were hand doubles from magicians and cardists twins, Dan and Dave Buck, who are well known in the magic world.

[@quixote6942]

"Now you see me 2" is just as good! Some other STELLAR Movies along this Line are the "Oceans 11" series (a remake with George Clooney and Brad Pitt.. among other A listers) And "6 Underground" with Ryan Reynolds". GREAT Reaction!

[@brettcloud8550]

Oh man he absolutely *has* to do the Ocean's trilogy

[@frankiecamacho8739]

6 Underground is actually pretty good.

[@MichaelSmith-zo3tf]

So I was an extra on this in New Orleans! The Savoy Theater doesn't actually exist, but was actually filmed at the Saenger Theatre, which was opened for the first time in 7 years of being condemned after being flooded by Hurricane Katrina for this movie and another that was filming at around the same time. The theater was utterly dilapidated: caked in mold and mildew, one person nearly fell through the floor because the wooden floor on the upper level was rotted through. About half of the crowd were crude dummies and mannequins. There was almost a stampede of panicked extras when a rat dropped down into the aisle from the upper level! Normally on a shoot, they don't allow for pictures to be taken lest you risk getting kicked off the set. But given the phones and cameras were part of the scene, they encouraged us to use our flashes and everything to make it look good for the scene. Spending 12-14 hours in this place with about 100+ other extras every day for a week and a half was a harrowing experience. Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson, Mark Ruffalo and the director were great for lifting our spirits. Morgan (and his stand-in, who looks so much like him that it's freaky) would talk with us and joke around with the crew. Woody would tell stories and lead the crowd in Saints football chants (something I bet he does for the local team of wherever he is). Mark Ruffalo is every bit as nice a guy as you've ever heard about. Michael Caine was a real pro: I don't think he needed more than one or two takes for any of his scenes. Dave Franco was going in: he was actually doing the sleight of hand tricks and throwing the cards depicted in the movie. He was throwing cards quite accurately from over 20 feet away and was constantly practicing between takes. Jesse Eisenberg and Ilsa Fisher largely kept to themselves. Though, I can say that from what I saw those ten days on set, I'm wasn't at all surprised that Ilsa didn't return for the sequel: she was NOT having a good time. I'm not sure if she would have returned even if she weren't pregnant. It was my first taste of seeing the magic of moviemaking up close and real trial by fire (for which my friends apologized profusely for: a was by far the hardest one they'd ever been on). Sadly, I nor any of my friends are visible in the movie, but we got some pictures and stories out of it, though!

[@moneyboy503]

this movie seems hit or miss. people hate it or love it. i really dont watch movies. i've always been a gamer and the adhd never helped. this is a series of movies i genuinely loved as a fan of magic. this movie made me fascinated with learning card tricks and i've gone from not being able to shuffle a deck to being able to shuffle without a table, to one-handed. I was so known for cards during high school that my teacher got me a golden deck of playing cards as a graduation present that i still have.

[@stsolomon618]

Underrated film

[@2ill4tv]

Preach

[@dogsbreakfast4952]

Awful

[@codyprice2616]

Now You See Me 3 has officially been greenlit a few months ago. Jesse Eisenberg has been campaigning for a sequel for years because his character Daniel Atlas is his favorite character he has played in his career. He said as long as they want to do Now You See Me films he’ll always come back to play that character.

[@Yu_rix]

I absolutely LOVE both movies! I can’t wait for a reaction to the next movie! They are soooo underrated!!

[@lolarose2423]

Agreed!

[@hellojilly]

I loved this movie as much as you did! I was so sad when it didn’t get a third but the second one is pretty good, too! I think the first one is my favorite though.

[@Alderam95]

It’s getting a third it was announced two months ago 🎉

[@aestheticxyz2409]

Yes the third movie has been confirmed

[@joshuacoldwater]

21:00 - So, I realize how angry this made you BUT he was 100 % in the wrong here. He is actually lucky she didn’t just leave him and continue on her own. She works for Interpol, which has jurisdiction over every case in the United States. Her being told that she could not participate and to wait was not only morally incorrect, it was illegal. He was obviously concerned that she was getting to close to the truth, which becomes clear at the end of the film. Still, her anger in that moment is not only justified but understandable. I am genuinely surprised she let him back into the car. 😂

[@nalyah8709]

omg i absolutely love this movie this is such a surprising treat. please please watch the second one!!!

[@LuizSTL]

THIS MOVIE IS CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED!!!!! One of my favorites for a while!!

[@YoshiPotter88]

Dude YESSSSS!!! I can't tell you how underrated this movie is and the ending just beautiful (even though I kind of was hoping it was going to be the girl but still), I love it so much- definitely one of my favorite movies and to be fair I am also a magician (a lot more card tricks though) and let me just say even though quite a bit of it was editing there were a lot of tricks in here that people actually do. And I am such a nerd when I saw them I was so excited about it, also both movies were very good I think that I do like the first one a little bit better but the second one was also VERY good (and I'm pretty sure we're getting a third one soon). Also RIGHT- dude I have a huge celebrity crush on Isla Fisher she is GORGEOUS and actually pretty underrated she's a great actress and pretty talented as well, plus she just seems like a big sweetheart. And by the way people probably already told you but at the beginning the tank trick- she was actually drowning! Again I'm so happy that you checked this out, people underestimate this film and there aren't many reactions to it sadly. Anyways I can't wait for you to check the second movie, I can't wait for more Content from you and I hope that you are doing well and staying safe and healthy Mel! P.S. To be Honest I'm not sure which magician is my favorite, there are a lot of good ones- if I had to pick though maybe Mat Franco he is very good!

[@MarshaLove0723]

I love NYSM so much I literally watched it over and over multiple times after I got the DVD.

[@Metzwerg74]

me too..... both of them..

[@kobemarion1137]

Duuuude! I just watched both the films a few days ago for the first time on HBO Max! I swear, it's crazy how often some KZbinrs react or review a movie I recently watched for the first time or just a movie I randomly thought of, lol

[@Whitewingdevil]

Strongly recommend checking out "So are the magicians in Now You See Me Wizards or what?", very funny video going over the "magic tricks" in this :D

[@jasmineh706]

The fact that I didn’t expect the twist at the end, makes Now You See Me a great movie.

[@YouOnlyIiveTwice]

If you want to watch a fantastic movie about magicians, go watch Christopher Nolan's 'The Prestige'. If you haven't seen that it would be a fantastic film to react to for the channel.

[@tegansylvianeale-ostor9541]

I work in a high school and on days before the Christmas holidays, the math teacher that I work with shows this movie to her class. The 7th graders love it

[@jlupemadeit]

Love this movie. Found you channel a couple of days ago and the way you put things in perspective is hilarious and I love how you always treat yourself as the main character 😂 keep up the good work

[@TXTisthegenre]

I was in Egypt when this came out in theatres and it gave me CHILLS especially in the end when they said close your eyes and open them on three because theatres around the world were instructed to open the lights exactly at the 3 mark😭

[@zeer0squared]

You don't get credit for that!! LoL!! You guessed it was half the cast!!

[@HelloMellowXVI]

Yes I Do! Lmao

[@randeecarreno4289]

Great reaction! 😊 This is one of my favorite comfort movies. It's a great movie with such a great cast and storyline. Can't go wrong with the Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson team up. You definitely need to watch the sequel "Now You See Me 2" next. The magic tricks are just as great in that movie. Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊

[@YasYouCan]

I had to come back and rewatch this one lol I can't wait to hear your thoughts on part 2. I'm also realizing that there are 2 versions of part one. a few scenes in this version are completely different from the version I saw. For example, The scene with Mark and Morgan Freeman's character meeting for the first time; in the other version, it was them at a restaurant with the French cop and Morgan's assistant. I noticed like 3 or 4 scenes with the same plot but different locations, people, and small stuff that was new, like the girl showing her tits in New Orleans.

[@ACNelson-officialchannel]

So many people throw shade to these films, but I love both of them. The story and plot are so underrated, as well as the performances. I was going to suggest this one, but I'm glad you beat me to it. Great reaction!

[@KevinJoseph08]

I had this and baby driver recorded on my tv at some point and I always felt like they were underrated 💀

[@DmvMari]

Mello be the real actor acting like he never seen any parts of these movies, all love tho😂😂💪🏾

[@joellem625]

Idk why now you see me 1&2 didn’t do as well, this is why I don’t trust critics. I remember so many people were exited for them to come out and anyone who I know seen both movies was amazed. Both films are soooooo incredible with such a unique plot and great cast. I wish more movies like this were out today. The second movie is as just great as the first one definitely worth watching. Plus these movies are even better on rewatches cause you catch certain things you didn’t the first time.

[@peachypmusic]

the way you immerse yourself in this whole movie and speak from 1st person makes the commentary so good! I just started watching you about a week ago and this is gas!!!

[@aceofkpop1243]

I saw this movie TWICE in theaters because I loved it so, SO much 😍 even years later, it's so awesome to rewatch ✨️

[@santossantana3198]

18:48 my guy got so ANGRY for wasting time chasing Jack 😭😭😭

[@Metzwerg74]

i think, this movie did bad at the box office, because most people simply did not understand it at all, or lost track inbetween... because if you miss 5 minutes of it, it could be fatal, for the complete understanding of the movie... i so loved it... please do yourself the favor of watching the second one too...

[@skullgittorocks3727]

I love this movie. So glad you also enjoyed it. Part 2 is not bad but I will always prefer the first one. Everyone played their role perfectly and I too when I first watch this movie..I was at the edge of my seat trying to figure out who was the 5th horseman. I probably watched this movie 4 times trying to see if I missed anything on why Mark Ruffalo try to frame Morgan freeman. Then it all makes sense when I saw it without any distractions...Part 2 is not bad I just think it needed more but I hope you also react to it. Cannot wait to hear your thoughts about it.

[@alinacarrasquillo34]

They go more in depth on the reason the FBI agent puts Thaddeus behind bars in the second movie. I actually really like both movies.

[@berzerkproductionz6688]

They’re currently making a third film right now. I highly suggest watching the second film. I love these movies a lot!

[@ThiccTropius]

Favorite magician is shin lim, he is one of the best card magicians out there to a point you will be convinced that he is a wizard when he is just stupidly amazing at sleight of hand. If can win AGT twice as well as fool penn and teller, regarded as a couple of the smartest men in the profession that they earned the title "the living encyclopedias of magic", on their competition show Fool Us TWICE, he is no joke!

[@cestmon8475]

I forgot about this film but the moment I saw ur thumbnail everything came back, such a dope movie even the sequel was good

[@JackSucksAtEverythin]

I'm suffering really bad depression and loneliness but watching you just makes me feel like I'm not alone

[@serenitylasandra]

I am so excited for this reaction! I LOVE these movies and no one ever does them, and I’m so excited they’re getting the recognition they deserve. So excited. Watching now.

[@idajyrwa2180]

While you're still feeling the magic, you should check out part 2^^

[@MusicxxRose]

One of my favorite movies that I enjoy on every rewatch

[@contacluj758]

A nice heist movie with Ryan Reynolds is "Foolproof". Worths a watching.

[@TheBlackBantha]

My man threw 10 darts at the board and saying he was right 😂

[@2.Plus.2.Equals.5]

These are entertaining movies. The 2nd is fun, look forward to what they come up with for the 3rd one.

[@KyliaSkydancer]

The first one is definitely the best, especially because it has Isla Fisher in it "This whole movie's one big trick." YEP

[@sirzechsquasar]

This was definitely one of the movies ever made. It's one of my favorite movies. It's amazing. I fell in love with magic after this

[@christinawilliams]

I worked on this film. We filmed in New Orleans. You don't see me in it though. Woody Harrelson was hilarious and kicking money on me when stopped filming...lol. A good movie I worked on, which also filmed in New Orleans was "A Big Short." You see me on the escalator in the Airport scene beside Brad Pitt. A lot of reactors are reacting to that one now. It is a great movie with a star studded cast. I was featured as the Sasquatch woman at the beginning of "A Bad Mom's Christmas." That movie was just ok in my opinion. We filmed that one in Atlanta. There's a lot of movie I've worked on though. I sure do have some stories....Lol.

[@brettcloud8550]

What's criminal is the sequel to this wasn't called "Now you don't".

[@unclerabbit254]

I used to do magic, until the fire. My popular trick was the Orange Tree.

[@ThiccTropius]

fun fact: the first trick you see with the cards and the reveal on the building is actually meant to be a trick for the audience watching the movie! try watching that trick again and actually participate!

[@Kammy-nh8vl]

Every time I rewatch this movie I always forget about the end credit scene

[@YasYouCan]

So glad this finally dropped! I've watched this movie so many times and it never gets old! Part 2 is not as good, but it's watchable lol can't wait for you to see that one!

[@blackamethyst0459]

You should watch Frozen two. I think it’s better than the first. (Other than Christophe’s song)

[@mistere1984]

Fun Fact: piranhas don't actually swarm humans and eat them. Like all fish, they flee if a human appears.

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

I've watched both of these movies many, many times, and I've NEVER seen the end credit scene. LOL. I'm so glad some of my fav reactors are watching these great movies.

[@WayCzennie127]

Please watch Now You See Me 2! A very well known magician is in the movie. 🥰🥰 Fun fact, in November 2023, the movie was greenlit for a Now You See Me 3! Super excited & I can’t wait! These movies are SO UNDERRATED!!!!! 😍😍😍😍

[@kaylakurosaki4873]

Damn Mello you acting like the girl insulted your whole family at that moment 😂

[@WhoIsCVRSE]

cant wait for part 2

[@NaturalNini]

Thaddeus was enjoying the FBI chasing the wrong vault after he admitted or claimed he was there for the same reason. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@Taylor_Noudt]

You NEED to watch Now you see me two it's even better than this one with so many twists and turns it's really an amazing movie and I think you would really enjoy it Thanks for reacting 😊

[@BOT_JERRY]

18:13 thats funny. Cuz this movie was filmed in New Orleans. And Gambit is from New Orleans.

[@wjquick32]

This movie is so good, I hope you watch the sequel ASAP!

[@gcatherinev]

saw this in the cinema and guessed it was Mark Ruffalo halfway, and when the reveal came, one guy loudly went WHATTTTTTTT- whole cinema cracked up laughing

[@MexMetal99]

I remembered when I watched it in theaters and the twist at the end surprised me. Underated film

[@NaturalNini]

Finally someone got on this train...I love this film and the 2nd film.

[@dogsbreakfast4952]

If you want a good magic movie watch the prestige . This is like the transformers of magic movies

[@12CANTMATTER]

Really love this one too

[@TheNorthlander]

Mell always captures that energy of watching movies with your friends, it's a good ass time.

[@noctumdraco]

It is amazing how much of the first movie comes together when you finish watching the 2nd one.

[@kejaunapough9240]

This is my all time favorite movie in the world and I'm so happy mellow has finally watched it !

[@90sDRgirl]

First I thought it was "Now you see me" from Disney Channel which is a good movie lol but this one is very underrated o.o

[@marksanchez1187]

The second one was my favorite cause of “that heist scene”. Definitely watch it

[@krissiemurray6018]

I absolutely LOVE these movies. I've always loved and been fascinated by magic

[@oriyanbarnes]

This is one of my top comfort movies 😍😍😍 the second movie is amazing as well!!!

[@justdoinme1234]

Highkey one of the most underrated movies I’ve ever seen. Such a great film 👏🏾

[@officialgirl0477]

First one is my favorite!

[@Juliian66]

Yoo mell thank you for the help on the red zip up.. bummer fashion nova men don’t sell it anymore…but gave me ideas 🔥🔥😂

[@sirzechsquasar]

Save Franco was my favorite in this movie

[@markpavlidis6464]

Watch the sequel too because it's as good as this, answers many questions you has a great twist in the end!

[@doposud]

Dude you cannot say : Didn't i said it earlier ? dude earlier you named almost every single character as a fifth horseman earlier :D :D

[@matthamilton356]

You definitely need to see the second one.

[@frankiecamacho8739]

You should check out card magician Shin Lim and blind card mechanic Richard Turner.

[@annemusk6609]

Well i have never watched this film it was absolutely fantastic. The cast, and the twist at the end Magic. Hope you do the second on Mello you have had a busy week what with New year's eve live and last night playing the Hogwarts wizard's world for about 5hrs crazy only dropped in for an hour. Until the next one💜

[@SebasTian58323]

They definitely missed out in the sequel name by not having it be Now You Don't but apparently the marketing department didn't like it

[@TheBiscuitFactory]

Omg anger management is one you need to watch!

[@JSage90]

If you like this movie I HIGHLY suggest you watch "The Illusionist" starting Edward Norton

[@greggthompson959]

Hey Mellow, if you really like Morgan Freeman, watch Glory (1989) and Driving Miss Daisy (1989). He's great in both. And you'll love them.

[@kaknazebali6073]

22:26 - and that's the problem with american cinematography, obsession with franchises. You guys forgot what is good self-contained, complete stories.

[@HelloMellowXVI]

You can tell self-contained, complete stories in a franchise dude. that's the problem the world today. Most people are too negative and don't actually think like they think they do.

[@kaknazebali6073]

@@HelloMellowXVI yes, but the point, when it's nothing more to tell is inevitable, and most of franchises don't stop after this point (3rd-4th movie).

[@romeromanuel5695]

Overall the first movie did very well if you include international box office: $351 million vs a $75 million budget

[@tawanabrunson9391]

Love This Movie!!!! You Should Definitely Watch The Second One... Loved It As Well 💜💜💜💜

[@lisamonroe2913]

Yes do the sequel. The magic tricks are still dope in it

[@NickyNicole21]

LOVE these movies and according to google production for #3 starts this year

[@BabySpiegel]

Melanie Laurant is so damn cute in this movie

[@shamikasykes6999]

This movie was highly underrated! The second one was dope as well! I can’t wait for the third one to drop!

[@GallaghersAngel]

Mell I would love to see you watch Onward if your looking for an animated movie, "Train to busan" if you're looking for a horror movie, or "Welcome home" If you are looking for a terrifying TV Show.

[@dannyphantom5202]

I’ve been waiting for this one since you said you’d do it lol

[@mdnyam3000]

This & the second one belong to one of my favorite movie genre, just like the Fast & Furious franchise, the "Dumb & Fun" genre...

[@nicolehoefer9404]

I cannot wait to see your reaction to the sequel 😂😂😂
