The story line was not unique in the sense Hollywood is filled with big heist flicks, but it had enough of a twist to make me interested. Unfortunately the acting of Jesse Eisenberg was the same in all of his movies, a babbling high strung person, which as a magician will really not work. As for Isla Fisher, her portrayal of an illusionist is so contrived that she just wasn't convincing. And when 2 major characters aren't believable (specially if the movie is about illusions) well, it just ruins the film.
