themselves in more trouble in Macau, China.<br />
After hiding there for a year, the Four<br />
Horsemen plan to infiltrate a corrupt<br />
businessman’s company and expose him as a<br />
crook whose new software secretly steals data<br />
from its users for his personal benefit.<br />
Their handler, FBI agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark<br />
Ruffalo) assigns them on a mission to hijack an<br />
event and expose the software criminal for what<br />
he is. With all the razzle-dazzle from the first<br />
movie, the illusionists, popular<br />
among the public,<br />
unexpectedly have their big<br />
reveal backfire when they are<br />
interrupted by a mysterious<br />
individual who reveals to the<br />
world that Jack Wilder (Dave<br />
Franco), believed to be dead,<br />
is actually alive, and that Rhodes is their mole,<br />
forcing the agent to evade justice and flee.<br />
While attempting to escape, the Horsemen<br />
are captured by mercenaries who in return force<br />
them to steal a powerful chip that can control<br />
all of the world’s computers. Meanwhile Rhodes<br />
hatches his own plot against Thaddeus Bradley<br />
(Morgan Freeman), the man he blames for the<br />
death of his father.<br />
The Horsemen infiltrate the facility and steal<br />
the device, evading the authorities and<br />

successfully escaping the casino – but not<br />
before some plot twists and a build-up to final<br />
act; another trick of ginormous proportion that<br />
exposes the mercenaries once and for all.<br />
The joy of a really good magic trick is not in<br />
genuinely believing that someone has made, fo r<br />
example, an airplane disappear but realising<br />
they have outsmarted you.<br />
While engrossed in the plot one finds oneself<br />
on the edge of the chair anticipating the next<br />
move because, despite<br />
following closely, tricks<br />
AT THE<br />
reveal themselves when<br />
least expected.<br />
The film is fun because<br />
as viewers we know real<br />
magic does not exist and<br />
it’s only our perception that<br />
is being tricked. The foursome plan and plot the<br />
biggest illusion and in their grand finale – while<br />
managing to make rain stop – people disappear<br />
behind life size cards and there is a fake<br />
hijacking of a plane.<br />
The sequel, like the first movie, has a sort of<br />
Ocean’s Eleven feel with magicians, mind<br />
readers and escape artists who are brought<br />
together by a mysterious overlord who upholds<br />
a twisted belief in what’s right and wrong. The<br />
film is good, fun-filled entertainment.<br />
