There’s no middle ground on puzzle movies: They’re either cleverly assembled, as boxes within boxes that take the length of the film to unwrap, or sloppily stupid.
“Now You
See Me” can’t quite claim to be the ideal crime drama – that would be “The Usual Suspects,” which justly won an Oscar for its script – but it’s only one level down.
