Directed by Louis Leterrier and filmed on screenplay written by Ed Solomon, Boaz Yakinand Edward Ricourt, Now You See Me follows a strange sequence of events centered on weird show group of magicians named The Four Horsemen. Their show features neither rabbits out of top hat nor playing cards out of sleeves. There is something much more valued by audience in modern world than these old fashioned tricks, and The Four Horsemen have a proposition for this demand. Meet their tricks: a real bank robbery, a million dollars heist, a white collar blackmailing. How it's possible to be real? The question that demands some non-magic answers, at least such question has FBI – and these guys will play hard to get an answer. The stakes are raising when magic hunters get to know that weird magicians have some plan to shock the audience with their next incredibly risky yet audacious robbery has ever happened in the history of FBI, the robbery that probably will occupy number one in The Hall of Fame of Robberies, if such ever existed. Unfortunately, the attempts of FBI agents to discover what are really standing behind the magic tricks break on their suspiciousness to each other. Finally, as the day X comes closer they decide to ask for help from world most known magic mythbusters, with ambiguous reputation Thaddeus (played by Morgan Freeman). The greatest crime of the century is about to happen, however neither FBI agents, not Thaddeus are approached a step closer to unlock the puzzle of The Four Horsemen's riddle. What is this- a double-cross of one agent, Thaddeus' betrayal or … real magic? Besides the twisted plot we have great pleasure to watch an unparalleled play of actors. Besides abovementioned Morgan Freeman, Now You See Me stars some truly superior actors: Dave Franco (Warm Bodies, 21 Jump Street, Fright Night), Isla Fisher (Desperados, The Great Gatsby, Rise of the Guardians, Bachelorette) and Jesse Eisenberg (To Rome with Love, 30 Minutes or Less, The Social Network.)
End of Watch

End of Watch

2012
Crime & Thriller
High level of realism and plausible scenes of true life of the street gangs and the cops being in state of permanent war with each other are the bold line that is piercing the dramatic plot of End of Watch. The story about friendship between two police officers Taylor and Zavala. Officer Taylor is portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal, whose identity has not necessarily to introduce. Everybody is familiar with him performing the leading roles in Source Code, Love and Other Drugs and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Officer Zavala is played by Michael Peña, who may be less know to the mass audience, but you could distinctly remember him playing the second plan roles in such movies as The Lincoln Lawyer (Jesus Martinez), Tower Heist (Enrique Dev'Reaux) and 30:Minutes or Less (Chango). Although it's pertinent to say here that Michael was participating in some serious projects at the moment when End of Watch are coming the big screens: Tom Gianas's and Ross Shuman's animated comedy Hell & Back, David Soren's Turbo (animated, too) and biographical Chavez by Diego Luna. oing back to the movie storyline: both the plot and filming present the outlandish combination of frightening realism (all the footage was made by the handheld HD cameras and the street surveillance cameras) with courage of two brave cops patrolling the most dangerous places of the city.
