My spoiler-filled review : cast.. Isla Fisher Jesse Eisenberg Mark Ruffalo Melanie Laurent Michael Caine Morgan Freeman Woody Harrelson
Upon seeing this movie I felt it was a modern version of robin hood with a fresh twist. The heist's are done using "magic". The story goes like this.. Four performers ranging from street artist to stage personals are picked up by a mysterious person in a hooded jacket.
The performers are Jesse Eisenberg who is a hand wizard and a bit of a control freak. Isla Fisher who was Eisenberg's assistant, and now an escape artist. Woody Harrelson is an expert hypnotist, and Dave Franco is the talented street magician.
When they all finally meet up they realize that they have been called by a secret magic group and to get into the group they have to follow some plans put forth by the group. Soon with the help of an investor they form a magic team called "The Four Horsemen".
They perform their 1st magic-show in Las Vegas and their show stopper routine was a live heist that involved robbing a bank which was in Paris by "teleporting" a man from the audience, then rewarding the crowd with the stolen euro notes. The crowd went wild as expected :).
As a bank was robbed the police enter the script for investigation purpose. Mark Ruffalo plays the hard core FBI agent and has been paired with French Interpol agent played by Melanie Laurent.
During the investigation the police come upon an information that the Horsemen's show was recorded by Morgan Freeman who was a magician before but plays as a host to a reality TV show that exposes all the magicians secrets. He shows Mark Ruffalo how the Paris heist was achieved according to his theory.
Now what comes is for the police to figure out what the magicians next trick is, who is in charge and why they are doing it.
So this is all the story that I am going to say. If you liked it so far then I suggest you catch the movie :).
I stuff that I loved : The magic show in the intro by Jesse Eisenberg & Isla Fisher. The graphics shown in the room were all magicians were called. The way Dave Franco kind of fought while escaping from Mark Ruffalo. The last magic act by the Horsemen.

My spoiler-filled review : cast.. Tom Cruise - Jack Andrea Riseborough - Victoria Melissa Leo - Sally Olga Kurylenko - Julia Morgan Freeman The story goes like this.. Story takes place in the future. The Earth is not a place for humans anymore it has evolved beyond recognition. Their was an invasion and the human race won the war but the Earth suffered the impact during the war as the moon got destroyed. Since their is no moon all things went hell in Earth. Now 60 years have gone by since the attack, all the survivors are residing in lunar colony in one of Saturn's moon called the Titan. Only two people are left on the Earth as care takers (Jack and Victoria, their memory of before the war is wiped for security reasons) so that the Scavengers (a band of savage aliens) do not inherit the planet during an on going operation to extract vital resources (water,etc) which is being carried out for fusion energy to keep the human race alive on Titan. The care takers live in a real modern techno luxury and are just a few weeks shy from joining the survivour's in Titan. Jack serves as a security repairmen has many questions and keeps getting these dream he wants the answers for and on the other hand his patner Victoria (also his lover) is the communications officer who monitors the situation from their high-altitude home, her character is distant and longing for something beyond Earth, always follows the commanders (Sally) orders. But things get complicated when they see something fall from the sky and he winds up rescuing a beautiful stranger from a downed spacecraft. When ever he see's the stranger he gets flashes of his dreams and she is in it. Now Jack forces for the answers even more and discovers shocking truths. He does heroic acts which he never though he was capable of. He battles to save mankind and wins. Stuff that I loved : The amazing visuals of the Earth. How the monuments in Washington, D.C. are left in ruins and the huge sky scrappers that were apartments/offices now act as waterfalls which are like deep canyons. Jack and Victoria's living quarter which is like a thousand feet above the ground, it has a breathtaking sky view.
