The Four Horsemen [Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Lizzy Caplan] return for a second mind-bending adventure, elevating the limits of stage illusion to new heights and taking them around the globe. One year after outwitting the FBI and winning the public’s adulation with their Robin Hood-style magic spectacles, the illusionists resurface for a comeback performance in hopes of exposing the unethical practices of a tech magnate. The man behind their vanishing act is none other than Walter Mabry [Daniel Radcliffe], a tech prodigy who threatens the Horsemen into pulling off their most impossible heist yet. Their only hope is to perform one last unprecedented stunt to clear their names and reveal the mastermind behind it all.
I was a big fan of the first movie. I wasn't sure that it necessitated a sequel but it was a very enjoyable movie if you just shut your brain off and enjoy the ride. This movie was pretty much more of the same. They replaced Isla Fisher flawlessly. The chemistry was all still there and the filmmaking style with the magic tricks itself was still great. Daniel Radcliffe was a great addition and was pretty enjoyable to watch in the villain role too.
I would definitely recommend people checking this out. If you liked the first, you will definitely like this one. You do have to be able to just enjoy instead of overanalyzing it. If you do - you probably won't enjoy it as much.
