What critics compared The Spanish Prisoner to
The best con artist movies - The Grifters, The Sting, Matchstick Men, David Mamet's The Spanish Prisoner and House of Games - bamboozle the mark and the audience at the same time.
The tricks are as flashy as the plotting is flimsy in “Now You See Me ,” an illusion-filled caper from director Louis Leterrier that poses no serious challenge to Christopher Nolan’s “The Prestige” or David Mamet’s “The Spanish Prisoner” in the pantheon of cinematic sleight-of-hand.
Like the never-explained "process" in David Mamet's "The Spanish Prisoner," it almost doesn't matter what the guys have created.
