“First rule of magic – always be the smartest guy in the room,” maintains Jesse Eisenberg's smug magician. Four fast-talking illusionists/charlatans – Eisenberg , Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson and Dave Franco – are invited by a shadowy organisation to become bank robbers. After a solid, perky start, this convoluted, hyperactive thriller starts to unravel and the thin characters lose definition. More heinously, Louis Leterrier wastes the talents of Harrelson, Mark Ruffalo (who almost single-handedly saves the show) and Melanie Laurent.
