This sequel is about The Four Horsemen resurface and are forcibly recruited by a tech genius to pull off their most impossible heist yet. The Four Horsemen unite once again and impress the world with their magic and illusion to save their own life along with sabotaging those who tried to kill them.
A scene that really made this film was very early in the movie. This took place in an ultra-secure room that doesn’t allow metal in or out. Security guards are everywhere, and under the lights and gaze of several enemies, they have to extract a metal device the size of a playing card. All four Horsemen characters work together to make it happen by palming it, flipping it, sending it sailing around the room, through clothes, basically anywhere a card can possibly go. This scene was so well done and absolutely impressive. One is mesmerized by how swiftly each an every move is made during that scene. It leaves the audience in awe and in wonder of how the director pulled this off. This was definitely a formative style of film and this scene validates it. The camera follows the card from person to person, almost like a tracking shot of the card itself. The plain white surrounding made the scene completely in focus on the characters themselves and the only bright color being the card made the card stand out and made it receive all the attention, which was important. There were many shots that varied from low angle to make the Horsemen look more dominant next to the security guards, as well as a subjective shot to see the worry and fear, sprinkled with confidence in the characters' reactions while hiding the card. Overall, this film was a disappointment. This did not reach my expectations due to the first film being an awesome and mind-blowing movie with a fast pace plot that made sense. This time around, the plot was weak and had little to nothing to do with the Horsemen. This movie basically tried to bring back Morgan Freeman and somehow include Daniel Radcliffe for whatever reason and completely failed. There was little to no magic and illusion that was in the hopes of the audience which blew off the film in its entirety.
