    Bonus Review: Now You See Me, Now You Don’t – The Cinematic Schematic

    The Cinematic Schematic is back with another special “on the road” edition to review Now You See Me, Now You Don’t.

    It’s been 12 years since the social justice magician troupe, the Four Horsemen (played by Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco), made their big-screen debut in 2013.

    The “Ocean’s Eleven with magicians” heist thriller may have been a relative dud with critics, but that didn’t stop it from being a box office hit. The first film grossed $351 million worldwide and spawned a sequel, Now You See Me 2, which also performed similarly in 2016.

    The world has changed since 2016. There’s been a global pandemic, two new presidencies, and TikTok and AI have changed the world of social media.

    Does the franchise still have the magic to dazzle audiences, or has the world moved on to new tricks?

    Hosts Caleb Masters and Laron Chapman each offer their quick reviews, providing a verdict to end each segment.

    Listen to decide whether this is worth your time.


    About Now You See Me, Now You Don’t

    According to IMDB, About Now You See Me, Now You Don’t is described as:

    A diamond heist reunites retired Horsemen illusionists with new performers Greenblatt, Smith and Sessa as they target dangerous criminals.
