As with the original, I found myself disappointed that a film about clever people wasn't smarter in and of itself. Still, this one's passably good fun - sure, there's some shockingly bad acting on display from Daniel Radcliffe and Woody Harrelson (mystifyingly, since he plays twins and is largely blameless as one but cringeworthy as the other), but they do seem to be having an awfully, contagiously good time. Morgan Freeman and Mark Ruffalo work tirelessly to raise the tone, but with only partial success. In the end, though, an action thriller about outlaw magicians is so niche that the subject matter itself will probably adequately define whether or not it'll be for you.
