"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are going to rob a bank!" And so begins the live Las Vegas magic show of the four "Horsemen", who were recruited a year before by a mysterious individual. Thanks to a “link” between Paris and New York, two million euros are teleported directly over the heads of the spellbound spectators. Dylan (Mark Ruffalo), FBI agent, and Alma (Mélanie Laurent) Interpol agent, are sent to investigate. But all their efforts to catch the magicians in the act are in vain – as if a fifth accomplice knew in advance what was going to happen. Is it Thaddeus (Morgan Freeman), the professional illusion exposer ? Or Tressler (Michael Caine), the businessman who sponsors the shows? And what if Alma isn't who she says she is?

Magic offers a moment to dream and it's easy to believe. On the other hand, it would be great to know how it works. This thriller keeps viewers stuck to their seats as it uses these two aspects to build to a huge Hollywood-style finale, with hard-hitting dialogues. During this economic crisis, this movie is pure feel-good entertainment for the many people who have lost their savings. But like when too much of an illusion is revealed, in the end it seems a little too much trickery is involved.
