Les maîtres de l'illusion

Bon film !

The dubbing was absolutely the worst I've ever seen, I don't know if the lead was good or not because the voice over was the worst thing I've ever heard, couldn't get thru it!! This is the lowest rating I've ever given and for people to give this a 10 should be banned from this website unless they're kin to someone that had something to do with this movie, then you would be forgiven and just put on probation. I'm turning the channel as we speak, so I'm sorry is I offended anyone but a rating of 8 or more WHAT THE....??????

First, understanding this is not Hollywood, not even American. Yet a strong line-up of actors, including Antonio Banderas. The film has lots of deep and quick paced banter. Also with packed visual injections of mental worlds. The array of effects works well with the style and visual design of the film. There is plenty to understand in the quick paced dialogue that was well written, and delivered. (Albeit they are not "A List" actors/actresses.) They work well together in a clever story of intrigue, deception, and fun, similar to Now You See Me, Euro style. The setting of Russia is a little presence, but in the Casino world it may as well be Las Vegas. Still, the film is following the protagonist who is pushed into more than he could bargain for. Going through an Oceans 11 style recruitment for special powered individuals. Together they will unite as a team to pull off a heist, which may be the ultimate heist. The dialogue is important, but if the audience is American, be prepared for some subtle differences. It holds ideas, dreams, and stunning visual representations of the mind, (for a lower budget Euro movie) they didn't have to cater to English speaking but it's a fun ride, with plenty to consider by the end.

Zero new ideas, in this one - you will recognise styles and plot points blatantly taken from other successful movies, and mashed them together to give us this mixed up thing. Not as bad as Asylum movies, but I have no respect for this type of "borrowing".

This movie is great if you loved Oceans 11 and Inception you will simply love this peace of art...I think that movie is probably very low rated cause it is russian production behind it....I watched so many times,much worst movies with high recomandation and with high rate.This movie deserve at list to have rate 7 on IMDB,really I dont understund why its so low..I dont see any problem with scenario,actors or director....its simply genius,it could be more expensive in the sci-fi effects,to be perfect,but this still is pretty well,well done....if you are fantasy lover,watch it,without watching rate.Trailer looks pretty good,and I watch first time movie with so low rate.I am happy now for it,cause is 50 times better than I thought.

I was honestly very surprised with this movie, when I first put it on, I thought it was going to be just another casino/action movie, but I was really blown away with this. The storyline was unique and very entertaining, I was very captivated by it. I'm honestly not sure why the reviews are so low, it definitely deserves better, i'd recommend anyone to just watch it for themselves and not form an opinion off the reviews alone because I saw the reviews and almost didn't watch it but I'm very glad I did because I was blown away. At the end of the day, movies aren't as serious as everyone seems to take them, they're entertainment and this one was went above and beyond my expectations. I'm so hoping for a sequel but I'm guessing it won't happen based on the reviews. But I'll still hope for it!

Con man Maykl (pronounced Michael) (Milos Bikovic) is conned out of $5-Million and gathers a group of people with Supernatural and Psychic powers to get it back within 7-days, before the Casino boss kills him.. This started out really good, but degraded into something else mostly because the background music was too loud and it was very difficult to hear conversations especially when Gordon (Antonio Banderas) is on screen. Sometimes it's difficult to hear him (Banderas) because of his accent, but when the background music chimes in, then it's almost impossible. All we really know about him is that he is aware of what Michael is up to and kind of lets us know he was pulling the strings all along. But is that true because we couldn't really hear his explanations; and, oh, yes he is Michael's father and wants Michael to team up with him for more con games. Okay, add one more thing: most of the dialogues were dubbed in and this was most annoying. Much CGI is used and it was okay, but ran a little long sometimes when a character goes into oblivion in his or her own mind. Okay, we get it, these people are not normal in the normal sense. When a pretty Veronica (Lyubov Aksyonaova) goes into a coma we go into a series of strange sights and emotions as Michael get s into her mind and tries to get her back to normalcy. Her power was that she could make anyone do what she wanted, and this led me to believe that Michael didn't need all the others to get the $5-million back. He could have just used her, but then we wouldn't have had a movie, right? (right, except not sure we have one now) Basically, this is a Russian production with a lot of CGI going on. Cut out the loud background music and dubbing and we might have had a good movie. Okay, okay and cut down on some of the CGI, too. Like I said, this started out very good with Michael narrating what he is up to. Then when he gets conned, we lose the narrative and have to guess about everything else. When he recruits his "special people" it's done in such a way that we are not too convinced these "people "are convinced to follow him, but they do (movies can do anything they want). Kind of loose scenes here, see? (3/10) Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Humor: Brief. Language: Only one GDI heard. Rating: D

This movie is all over the place. The storyline is really bad, makes no sense,and you can clearly see that the script wasnt written right. You can clearly see that it was inspired by Ocean's eleven, Inception,and Marvel and DC movies all at the same time, and the result of that is complete chaos. Many dialogs don't make sense at all.

Some of the worst acting i have ever seen. Someone did fund this movie, but all the money was put in to special effects. So a guy owe some bad people some money and he gets his hands on someone who can plant ideas in other peoples mind, and wants to use him for a con ?? The other one can change the physical state of objects and wants to help him with the con why ? This movie is just a huge disaster, actor wise and storywise. +1 for some ok effects.

This film is slow paced and quite boring in the first half an hour, afterwards it starts to gradually get interesting but bounces back to boredom around the end. It's a very CGI-intensive movie, not surprising since the characters have super powers, but what puzzled me is that they use CGIs in scenes that don't require them. I've watched the dubbed version and (as you might have expected) it is terrible. I would have loved to watch the original version with the Russian accents (and authentic actors emotions). All in all, I enjoyed the film because of its OSTs and CGIs. The story is mediocre and unoriginal, and could've been better. There is also unnecessary romance (like most of other films) which I don't like. If you enjoyed Now you see me 2, then go ahead and watch this.
