Now You See Me 2 (released in the UK as Now You See Me: The Second Act ) is a 2016 American heist thriller directed by Jon M. Chu. The film serves as a sequel to the 2013 box office hit Now You See Me . It reunites the four horsemen—illusionists who use their skills to rob corrupt figures and expose wrongdoing—as they are forced to pull off their most dangerous heist yet to clear their names after being double-crossed. While the film was a commercial success, critical reception was mixed, with praise for its visual spectacle and cast chemistry but criticism for its convoluted plot and lack of narrative surprise.
