Now You See Me 2 – Film Night

Hey guys!

I hope you’ve had a good weekend. Last week for my film night I watched The Edge Of Seventeen, and this time round I watched Now You See Me 2, the sequel to the film which I watched a few years back. The old gang are back together, the four horsemen, all except Henley who was played by Isla Fisher, who’s been replaced by Lula May who’s played by Lizzy Caplan. The film continues on from the previous one, with the remaining members of the Four Horsemen hiding out in New York City 18 months after getting past the FBI, with Dylan Rhodes who begins still an FBI agent and leader of the group.

They’re awaiting further instructions from The Eye, Dylan aka Shrike gives them a new mission to expose a corrupt businessman at the launch of a software company, but the plans go bad, their hijack is interrupted by a mystery person, Dylan is exposed as a Horseman and they try to escape through a tube, but then find themselves in Macau and are captured. Daniel Radcliffe plays Walter Mabry who is the bad guy character, and tells The Horsemen has had a job for them which they must do or he’ll kill them, which is to steal a device which can decrypt any system in the world; And the film goes from there.

I think that the film makes a really good sequel, and has plenty of twists and turns along the way, and is a good watch. Morgan Feeeman and Michael Caine also make appearances in the film too.  You don’t necessarily need to have seen the first one to watch this, but you’d have a better understanding of the story and history. If you’ve seen the first one and liked it, you’ll probably like this.
