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.)

Public Enemies is fair to compare with the cult Heat released fifteen years ago, but it seems that this time the Michael Mann jumped above the head, and it is not surprising as it seems at first glance. Mann manages to convert high-tech to high art, and that this film will be remembered after seventy years, as now, let's say, Dreyer's movies, as a major illustration of the key role of Mann in the world of cinema. And this is not only the matter of the form. Yes, Mann filmed first digital retro. And yes, the atmosphere of the thirties was recreated down to the dress models.

Congratulations to all of those who liked Public Enemy with Johnny Depp, now they have more hard-boiled action thriller, Gangster Squad, unfortunately without Johnny. However the absence of Depp is easily compensated by a magnificent assembly of the cast, flawlessly selected by Ruben Fleischer who previously directed Zombieland and working on Zombieland 2 at the day of The Gangster Squad release. Returning to the abovementioned cast, the set of starring actors is really staggering: Ryan Gosling is portraying the main protagonist Sgt. Jerry Wooters who is serving in small (but very secret) LAPD squad chasing the major villain, Mickey Cohen, a mob ringleader. Cohen rules everything to the west from Chicago: prostitution, drug dealing, contract murders and bribes to politicians and officials. He controls everything and everyone. Sean Penn has professionally played the role of this uber-gangtser. Not worse managed with their roles gorgeous Emma Stone (as Grace Faraday) and Josh Brolin (as John O'Mara). The rest array of celebs involved in the film includes: Giovanni Ribisi (Ted, Contraband), Mireille Enos (The Killing, World War Z), Michael PeГ±a (Chavez, End of Watch), Nick Nolte (Luck, Warrior), Anthony Mackie (Vipaka, Real Steel) and Robert Patrick (Mafia, Safe House).

A gym manager and a bodybuilder fall into a violent and obsessive love affair in this sun-scorched neo-noir thriller from director Rose Glass.
