Popular heist movie Now You See Me is available to stream this weekend alongside its sequel film, Now You See Me 2. Fans are being urged to re-watch the films ahead of 2025’s Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, which will mark the third film in the trilogy when it is released in November . While the critical consensus for the film is decidedly mixed at 51%, Now You See Me has a respectable Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 70%, with one fan describing it as the “perfect cat and mouse” story. Other fans have described the heist movie as a “comfort watch”, with many applauding the film’s entertaining twists. The stylish magician-focused flick also comprises a stellar cast, including Mark Ruffalo, Jessie Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco, as well as Hollywood legends Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman . The synopsis for the movie reads: “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.” Fans can now catch up with the original film and its sequel on Paramount+ , which has a seven-day free trial included in its subscription. Taking to the comments section of Rotten Tomatoes, fans have shared their thoughts on the 2013 thriller. Many praised the film’s ability to entertain, with one writing: “Such a fun movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it from the first scene to the last. So entertaining!” “Entertaining and I loved that I didn't have it figured out,” another agreed, while a third wrote: “Maybe people just don't like magic but I was TOTALLY entertained. Love it!” Others gave the film a perfect score, with one fan writing: “Absolutely amazing. Unique magic tricks and a new form of heists involving entertaining suspense. 10/10. I loved it.” “Loved it! Perfect cat and mouse movie leaving you guessing the entire time,” another agreed. More fans praised the film’s many twists, with one commenting: “A thrilling movie that keeps you guessing at every single turn on what the Four Horsemen might do and why they do it.” Another enthused: “Absolutely loved the movie, very clever, twists and turns, great acting and actors I love! I will watch this many times!” “This is one of my favorite movies to watch. I love the twist and how they use their shows to present it to you,” one more fan penned, as another concurred: “One of my favourite movies.” Another fan left a thoughtful review, which read: “The magic isn't just confined to the vocation of the main characters in this complex and charismatic 2013 crowd-pleaser.” One more person summed up their thoughts on the film by writing: “Now You See Me delivers a fast-paced, stylish thrill ride that blends the intrigue of a heist film with the spectacle of stage magic.” However, not everyone was a fan, with one viewer complaining: “Boring , predictable, and the ending draws on for nearly 30 minutes.” Another shared: “Not my cup of tea. Plenty of good performers here, but overall it seemed weak and not as spectacular as it could've been. The ending plot twist seemed a little dry and not as breath grasping as it could've been.” One more fan provided a balanced review, reflecting: “I realise this movie has its flaws…it’s a bit precious, the characters are a bit cartoonish, and the plot is contrived and strains the imagination. That being said, it’s one of my favourite comfort films, as it requires nothing but suspension of disbelief and a willingness to be entertained without any further expectations.” Now You See Me and Now You See Me 2 are available to watch on Paramount Plus from Saturday, July 26.
