Film Review - NOW YOU SEE ME ★★½☆☆☆

Sleight of hand, misdirection, analyzing body language, and staying two steps ahead of the audience, these are the tricks of the trade that have allowed magicians to wow and befuddle audiences with their illusions for decades. Now You See Me manages to use these methods to keep us guessing as a serviceable big screen crime caper, but as a magical work of wonder, overall the magic falls fairly short.

The film's rousing prologue introduces us to four performers who are brought together to become an internationally famous magic act known as The Four Horsemen. We have a fast talking street trickster Danny (Jesse Eisenberg), the mentalist Merritt (Woody Harrelson), pickpocket Jack (Dave Franco), and the lovely escape artist Henley (Isla Fisher). Fast forward a year later, the Horsemen have a millionaire benefactor Arthur Tressler (Michael Caine) who funds their lavish hi-tech Vegas stage act and are on the radar of a former magician Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman), who makes millions from online videos by breaking the illusionists' bro code and debunking the stage acts of other performers.

The Horsemen conclude their shows with an elaborate literal bank robbery where worthy audience members see their checking accounts swell by tens of thousands of dollars. So the stage is set and it brings them under the eye of the FBI led by Agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) and Parisian INTERPOL Agent Alma Dray (Melanie Laurent). The foursome have more high stakes heists up their sleeves in their next two performances in New Orleans and Queens, New York, which leads to their cat and mouse pursuit from interantional authorities.

Our magicians repeatedly outwit, outsmart and outpace the feds, managing to make them look like buffoons on a keystone cops level, and it keeps the tone from getting into dark territory. The film tries its hand at throwing as many twists and turns in the plot that should keep the audience guessing, but offers little opportunity to figure any of it out by adhering to a "with magic, anything can happen" playbook. Our heroes, who have taken on a Robin Hood-worthy take from the rich and give to the poor crusade, are allowed to pull the rug from under us in a grounded setting with feats of magic that break real world logistics. This tends to blur the line on the flip flop nature Now You See Me treats the art in the same vein if you prefer either the title Magician or Illusionist, which imply different things.

In the true high bar set by The Prestige, the characters stay steps ahead of both the audience and each other. Upon repeated viewing, you actually catch clues brilliantly laid out before you and had not noticed before. Now You See Me attempts no such bold depth, and relies on little subtlety instead using broader strokes to reveal its secrets in flat out flashbacks.

To keep us happy, the curtain is pulled back several times and we do get to see how some tricks are executed. That's fine and its also crucial to the plot, but when written off under the cloak of magical powers, we are assaulted with characters performing numerous physically impossible feats that defy physics. Also in revealing how some of their escapist illusions are actually pulled off, the insane necessary resources readily available to them makes you take pause for plausibility.

A true highlight is an inspired sequence in an apartment where Franco's Jack has a drag out test of wits opportunity to escape an FBI raid. He literally dazzles and battles the agents with practical magic. Its an all too brief glimpse of the film's real world potential when most of the showy illusions utilized are so outlandish they shatter any hope for sustained suspension of disbelief. But watching quick thinking, ingenuity and magician's tools take on the feds in hand to hand combat is where the film hits its target.

Director Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk, Clash of the Titans) breaks into several sudden well staged action packed chase sequences (and he's damn good at it), but they come as fast as they go and tend to come off as gratuitous ploys to amp up the action for what feels should be a thinker's paced film.

The film is blessed with a superb cast, each one bringing enough to the table in this ensemble cast. But as a far as our four lead magicians are concerned, beyond some witter banter there is little connect or perceived camaraderie between them beyond their broad projected on-stage relationship. They have been a team for over a year, and there is scant chemistry and at the end of the day, it seems they all still distrust each other. Even when one of them is taken out of action, the remaining three show no remorse in the loss. Whether it should be presented on screen as justified misdirection to the audience or not, it doesn't make the team appear to be the close knit group you should be rooting for. Ruffalo has a good time with his role here, and it shows on screen. Academy Award winners Freeman and Caine provide nothing less than the solid backbone you would expect from them.

The story itself is straightforward but multi-layered and moves along with a brisk pace that you have to keep up with. Leterrier keeps the camera moving and circling about constantly and allows you little time to over think at any time. There are very few moments when things slow down and it by no means lacks visual flare or flashy special effects. But the sometimes lavish CGI takes away from grounding the magic in a real world setting, which the film finds a hard time defining. By the time the credits roll and the plot points are all out of the sorting hat, you definitely feel its take on the magical line has been blurred completely.

Despite being a lively well cast heist film, there is not much of a magic show in terms of sheer wonderment. Now You See Me is a harmless lighthearted romp that supplies ample action, twists and turns, and will keep you ultimately guessing on where its all leading to. I am probably most guilty of the fatal error of having my hopes up too high based on the film's intriguing first trailer below, but that is the effective magic of early marketing at work.

Now You See Me opens in theaters on May 31st.

Re-Designed Optimus Prime and Autobots from 'Transformers 4' Revealed!

Michael Bay is currently shooting Transformers 4 in Monument Valley, a desert area in the Navajo Nation near the border of Arizona and Utah. Courtesy of Bay and Yahoo! we now have our first look at the revamped sleeker Optimus Prime and two of his fellow Autobots in their vehicle forms. Bay posted this pic of Prime, which is from Western Star (a subsidiary of Daimler Trucks North America).

Also on display is a C7 Stingray Corvette and a $2.4 million custom 1,200-horsepower Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse. We don't know yet if these will be new characters or revamps of classic Autobots from the animated shows or comic books lore.

Set for 2014, Michael Bay returns to direct his fourth as yet untitled round of Transformers, whose events takes place five years following the destruction of Chicago in 2011's  Dark of the Moon, and promises to jump start the series in a new direction with revamped versions of the familiar robotic alien heroes and villains. Mark Wahlberg stars with Kelsey Grammar, Stanley Tucci, Nicola Peltz, Sophia Myles, Bingbing Li and Peter Cullen (returning to provide the iconic voice of Optimus Prime).

Film Review - FAST & FURIOUS 6 ★★★½☆☆

There is something to be said about a series that keeps getting better as it speeds along, more so by chapter six. Boasting hot cars, big chases, explosive action, and a non stop pace, Fast & Furious 6 will end up being one of the most accessible and entertaining films of the year.

Comfortably cruising through and past the series' sidestep misstep with the third installment Tokyo Drift, director Justin Lin has since pushed forward on a rock steady course by managing to cut, paste and combine various cast members and building story arcs and character relationships that have spanned six films over 12 years.

At first glance it seemed like an improbable feat, as even target fans take the series at face value, but F&F has yet managed to both raise the stakes and balance sheer high octane spectacle with a building character driven story. It has evolved way past being a one-dimensional series of movies about fast cars.

F&F headliners Paul Walker (Brian O' Connor) and Vin Diesel (Dom Toretto) return with Dwayne Johnson, who broke out as the newest big name addition from Fast Five, and continue where the last film left off. With the outlaw crew now living on the lam in various countries all over the world, Johnson's Agent Luke Hobbs finds himself recruiting the criminals he help take down in the last installment to assist in capturing the high stakes heist master Shaw (Luke Evans). The mysterious Shaw also happens to have enlisted an intriguing ghost from the past, the presumed deceased (in F&F 4) Letty (played by Michelle Rodriguez).

Hobbs along with his new ass kicking partner Riley (stunning MMA champ Gina Carano), join forces with Dom, Brian and rest of the speed demon crew Ramon (Tyrese Gibson), Han (Sung Kang), Gisele (Gal Gadot), Tej (Ludacris) and Mia (Jordana Brewster) to take us on what is the biggest and best of F&F outing to date, easily outracing its predecessors in scale, adrenaline, and most importantly not forgetting to intricately play off the likable characters fans have shared a big screen history with.

It goes without saying Diesel and Johnson are at their ass kicking best here. Johnson's tough smart-ass  and ridiculously ripped Hobbs once again wears a black shirt so tight it may as well be body paint (we should all be so lucky). But credit needs to go to he leading ladies as well. who also have ample opportunity to throw it down. Carano debuted her big screen chops headlining Stephen Soderbergh's actioner Haywire, and she brings the necessary presence in this tough girl supporting role. Riley and Letty have it out it a real doozy of a brawl, which is only one of the bone crunching hand-to-hand action sequences in the film. Though I have to admit, I don't think Rodriguez in real life would get more than second round with Carano, who would be easily dispensed by the former mixed martial arts superstar.

As for the cars, it's a given that anything on four wheels has ample spotlight in the film. Though as the series has progressed, the automotive neon sexiness that went along with the street racing has been toned down in exchange for sheer speed and efficiency needed for the task at hand. But here the cars give way to sharing the spotlight and taking on tricked-out tanks and why not throw in a plane as well.

Much like Fast Five, this installment runs over two hours, which can test the attention span of your eager summer moviegoer, and it does hit a point when you figure its about that time to wrap things up. But just when it feels like its overstaying its welcome, it kicks you squarely in the ass with an extended (and yes ridiculous) spectacular last lap which sends you home begging for more once you catch your breath. Fret not, the already in-the-works seventh entry in the series is appropriately teased in an extremely clever sequence for fans who have kept track of all the films.

I have neve been an opponent of checking your brain at the theater door in the spirit of simply enjoying the big screen experience, there is nothing wrong with that. F&F 6 will ultimately successfully rank among the best of that genre. But among the many pluses the series has is that it embraces the fact it's loud escapist fun, lets you enjoy big loud thrills, have fun on many levels, and knows the exact point to pull out and turn around that unabashed "Get the F out of here!!" physics defying moment to have you gasping, cheering and shaking your head all at the same time.

Whether the action involves hand to hand, gun to gun, cars versus cars, cars versus tanks or cars versus planes, the film covers all its bases in the action sequence check list. The all-encompassing demographic appeal of the wining cast is matched only by the ridiculous pacing of the near non-stop action and payoffs. By now you should know what you're getting into with The Fast & The Furious experience, and for my money, Fast & Furious 6 may have earned its place as the easy choice for the overall best action film of the year given its wide open genre friendly appeal and unabashed willingness to simply entertain.

Fast & Furious 6 opens in 2D and IMAX on May 24th.

Film Review: THE HANGOVER PART III ★½☆☆☆☆

There sometimes comes the optimistic approach that a sequel may seize the opportunities to right the wrongs of its previous installment, or installments if so lucky. Of course in an ideal world, sequels would actually improve upon what preceded them, but let's not get ahead of ourselves folks. The Hangover Part III has absolutely no such ambitions to do either. 2009's The Hangover was an unexpected smash hit (deservedly so), and delivered solid laughs and introduced us to new misadventure icons in The Wolfpack.

The noticeably darker The Hangover Part II was rushed out two years later, rehashed nearly exactly the same plot and substituted Bangkok for Las Vegas, which came with far less funny results. The sequel was both a letdown and huge disservice to the initial fun we had with the series' take on the bachelor party gone down the worst rabbit hole imaginable concept.

So our beloved Wolfpack returns for round three in what promises to (please) be the final Hangover hurrah. Phil (Bradley Copper), Stu (Ed Helms ), Alan (Zack Galifianakis), and Doug (Justin Bartha) find themselves in a plot that does not take any cues from the now tried (if not tired) formula, but somehow manages to succeed in delivering even less fun and laughs than the soulless 2011 sequel.

In a nutshell, the plot finds the bearded perennial man-boy Alan off his much needed meds which inadvertently results in him causing the death of his father (Jeffrey Tambor). Following an intervention, his best friends that anybody could have all agree to check him to a rehab center so he can one day again see the world with clear eyes. The Wolfpack never makes it to their destination. They are run off the road and kidnapped by goons led by a crime boss known as Marshall (John Goodman), who has a four years in the making vendetta against none other than Mr. Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong). Chow has also just escaped prison, and cue the inevitable Shawshank Redemption reference.

At this point the film turns into a violent road trip heist flick, finding very little in common with the obnoxious good time we enjoyed in the first installment. Marshall is hell bent on seeking revenge on Chow for swindling him out of millions of dollars worth of gold bars. The gangster of course keeps Doug hostage (and out of the main stage action as always), and sends the Wolfpack off to capture and deliver Chow to him on a silver platter. We follow the gang through a series of unfunny sequences and double crosses until Vegas ultimately becomes the setting for the big finish.

Sure the script does make a conscious effort to bring this trilogy's overall story arc, dare I say, full circle by returning to where it all began: Las Vegas. We have get appearances from characters from the first film: Black Doug (Mike Epps), Jade (Heather Graham) and her son baby Carlos (who is now the four year old Tyler). They even manage to loop in Marshall via a throwaway mention during the first film as Black Doug's boss.

What the film forgets for the most part is any actual big belly laughs or honest to God comedy. Characters we formally laughed at or laughed with are hardly the same bunch anymore. The ensemble work here is cold and detached, and lacks the killer chemistry that was once there. Long gone also are appearances from supporting players like Rob Riggle and Matt Walsh who added comedy weight and priceless scenes.

Melissa McCarthy does turn up and shines some much needed funny moments, but that is just her doing what she does best, and as always does it effortlessly. Too bad they didn't know they had some strengths to exploit, because her scenes provide some of the scant actual comedy moments you hope for, if not expect.

What also struck me was an over abundance of unnecessary animal cruelty laced throughout the script.  Within the first five minutes we get the decapitation of a cute unsuspecting giraffe (as seen in the trailer, so it comes as no surprise), we are also told two guard dogs get their throats slit
(off screen thankfully), and cock fighting roosters get shot, thrown out of a window and suffocated with a pillow. We all have out britches to burn regarding what is sometimes conveyed on the big screen, and I consider myself highly desensitized to many things. But I managed to find an unnecessary and gratuitous running theme of disrespect to the animal kingdom here.   

By breaking from the actual Hangover formula, and not even trying to re-invent it with a clever twist, it only strays farther from the path that actually worked and cements Part III even further as pointless final entry in the series. Fret not, by the time you leave your seat there is a heavy handed threat for another chapter. But I'm more than fine with my fonder memories of our beloved Wolfpack's hi-jinks from the first installment, which stands tall as the crowning jewel of the trilogy.

Ultimately The Hangover Part III is not only utterly soulless and manages to disappoint on so many levels, it ends a journey that started off so well on a unfortunate huge final misstep. But now its clearly time to retire from this eternal viscous circle of misadventures, sleep it off, take our aspirin, go back to work on Monday and swear to never ever do it again.

The Hangover Part III opens in theaters on May 23rd.

Film Review - STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS ★ ★ ★☆☆

J.J. Abrams did what may thought was impossible, he made Star Trek cool, slick and damn fun. Rebooting and infusing new blood into the iconic original '60s TV series with a young cast, lavish special effects and a lot of lens flare proved to be the way to go for a franchise that was enjoying a well deserved hiatus following a run of five shows and ten big screen adventures.

2009's Star Trek was a hot box office hit that managed to gain scores of new fans and please conventions of old school Trekkers. Well, most of them anyways. As Spock would say: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." And for my fellow fans that is what it really comes down to for Abrams' take, making Trek movies for the masses, not love letters to old school fans who will dissect the films to pieces regardless.

Bigger means bigger here. Bigger effects. Bigger ships. Bigger explosions. Bigger battles. Big thrills with massive twists and turns. Yes, buckle your seat belts for the said twists and turns you're in store for. Hell, after all this time, even the Enterprise is FINALLY outfitted with much needed seat belts. I'll refrain from stepping deep into any specific spoiler territory here, they already exist aplenty online and are easily within one or two quick clicks of this review. Needless to say, it's only fair to be vague on the story, and a entirely different discussion can be made once one is freed from tiptoeing around the meaty plot details.

That said, this epic well-paced second big screen adventure starts off as it should, right in the thick of the action. We already got the origin story, so thankfully absolutely no precious screen time is wasted on getting reacquainted with our iconic intrepid crew: Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto), Dr. McCoy (Karl Urban), Uhura (Zoe Saldana), Sulu (John Cho), Chekov (Anton Yelchin) and Scotty (Simon Pegg).

What should have been a innocuous mission turns into a major breach of etiquette regarding Starfleet's Prime Directive, which protects primitive cultures from exposure to higher technology than they have developed on their own. Kirk being hotheaded Kirk pays no heed to such things from the rule book in order to save Spock's life on an alien world. Following the thrilling eye opening sequence, James T is stripped of his ship and command as a result of cheating death for his Vulcan friend. Echoes of plot points from the Shanter/Nimoy-era films will not fall on deaf ears to older fans.

Acts of brutal Earth-bound terrorism committed by Benedict Cumberbatch's former Starfleet officer John Harrison sees Kirk and crew sent off on a splinter cell mission to take him out while also leading them into a head to head battle with the Klingons. It's likely that the first half hour of Into Darkness contains more action and gunplay than we've ever seen in any version of Trek. Not only is that is a good thing, but now a staple regarding the more accessible direction the series has taken.

It's from this point on the highly appropriate Into Darkness title really kicks in as friendships are tested and lost, characters show their true colors, and the plot takes you on a rollar coaster ride free for all on what you think you know, and what you actually know. The first film which by including Leonard Nimoy as Spock, directly dealt with, explained and incorporated (but nonetheless rebooted) the original series' timeline. Into Darkness however plays with past ideas on a much more subtle level. It could have easily just moved forward freely on its own path, but fans (with varying degrees) will hear echoes from the rich history to recycle. How you feel about this here depends on your view of whether the series has earned the right to stand all on its own, or should adhere to taking various cues from the past.

Cumberbatch, best know for his acclaimed work on BBC's Sherlock, brings a menacing cold steel elegance to the film's rogue villain. While his role here has been the object of obsessive online speculation since he was cast, Cumberbatch truly tests the mettle of the crew and effortlessly makes his mark among the best of the Trek villains.

Alice Eve joins the cast as Carol Marcus, a familiar character re-booted for the new timeline. While a welcome addition, her necessary role in the plot tips the balance for the ensemble crew and takes away some screen time from Sulu and Chekov. Genre icon Peter Weller turns in a truly memorable performance as her father Admiral Marcus, who proves to be a crucial chess piece to the dynamics of the dense plot filled with heavy political and personal overtones.

For the most part, the film held me firmly on board. I marveled at the intricacies of the screenplay and Abrams' lens flare-adorned spectacle that I am an admitted apologist for. But then came one pivotal point in the third act and it all crashed on me, and the film firmly loses its identity. I have to admit certain subsequent script decisions dropped me hard, real hard. It's easily a debatable point, and I can't really expand on it this early in the film's theatrical run. But it's a firm loud announcement from behind the curtain of "Oh yes, we're really gonna do this" to the audience in the know.

The screenplay takes the rebooted characters their next level, and some of the interplay is exceptional. While perhaps not quite the middle chapter of a trilogy we may have expected, it certainly frees the series up from some necessary building block bullet points (despite how much I knew about the plot ahead of time, I still found myself constantly surprised as the story progressed). Expectations are big, and film makers like Abrams set their own bar sky high.

What works tremendously is the top notch visuals, as if that would be in doubt. If you can hold on for cameras with contant yet precise motion, you're in luck. There is a boatload of glorious CGI magic, it always feels tangible with substantial weight behind it all. The healthy portion of practical sets and effects mixed in should be applauded. The 3D conversion is also quite good, Abrams' directing and framing style thankfully lends itself to the extra layer.

Old fans and newbie fans will take away different things from the experience, and I feel those with less baggage from the past may be better off for it in this case. My reservations lie directly with the script choices made that tested me as an old school fan who sees the blank slate of the alternate timeline a greater freedom to move beyond Trek history, which is not always the case here. If your Trek filmography is comprised solely of the 2009 film, pay no heed to my cavets (which marred, but did not supersede my overall enjoyment of the film).

Is this an event movie well worth the price of admission? Absolutely. Star Trek Into Darkness is a worthy epic experience that delivers heart, relentless action, massive stunning visuals and even finds appropriate spots for humor and deep arcs between the core characters. If you enjoyed the last installment, this is a thinker's amped-up must-see sequel. It expands the new Trek universe and firmly sets the stage to re-explore a welcome familiar path for the crew of the USS Enterprise. Casual fans will walk away happy go lucky, though Trekkers may require discussion groups to vent some issues amongst friends.

Up next for Abrams (in 2015) is nothing less than Star Wars: Episode VII. While I don't want Star Wars to look exactly like this, I sure don't mind knowing it may look a lot like this.
