Dove Review

I found this film to be both action packed and exciting. Four magicians and con artists are brought together by a mysterious person who trains them and plots their actions to steal millions of dollars from corrupt companies and individuals with the goal of giving the money to those who have been hurt by those people. The plot is straightforward but there is enough mystery and suspense to keep the audience entertained.

Unfortunately, there is also a sub-plot about a mystical group called the “Eye” that doesn’t seem to fit into the story well. This element is brought to a conclusion at the end of the film with little purpose or cohesion to the rest of the story. Strong language and sexually charged situations prevent us from awarding a Family Approved rating to an otherwise interesting story.
