Unblievably absurd plot! Mindblowingly idiotic!

Excuse me, but what plot? The one where they rob a bank and no one notices the fake money lying around because money generally doesn't get used? Or perhaps where they rob some guy's bank account and broadcast it, while the bank won't simply return the money? Or maybe the constant portrayal of police incompetence? Or perhaps where they steal a safe by means of a mirror box, completely ignoring that this illusion does not work when people are INSIDE the box? Or maybe their amazing reveal at the end posing as a shoddy crapfest instead? Or do you mean to combine these all into a plot, adding protagonist arrogance, and a team of a director and storywriters laughing themselves blind about how they (not even subtly!) just called every single one of their viewers an idiot and got away with it?
This film looks like a storywriter saw an illusionist, couldn't figure out how the show was performed, and decided to one up him by writing a completely beep world where it would be strange for people NOT to rob banks. Hell, they KNOCK OUT security guards during their first bank heist, but what did they do? Go back home and call it a day? Or perhaps they are hypnotized as well. Because hey, hypnotism is the key to end all problems with security. -

Yes, when there's a lot of money around, people actually don't immediately notice it's fake.
The money won't be returned as Art's account password was used to access and transmit it.
Or perhaps where they steal a safe by means of a mirror box, completely ignoring that this illusion does not work when people are INSIDE the box?
Did you watch the rabbit trick? -

The mirror is angled, it would work until they stand next to it. -

are you sure? are you sure it's not you who is of such low intelligence that even such a stupid story can appear intelligent to you?
to say suspension of disbelief is understandable. to call this pile of crap intelligent is simply an insult to human intelligence. -

There's no intelligence needed to follow the plot. (And frankly, anybody with intelligence can see the yawning chasms in its logic.)
This film was absolutely dire, and the fact that it has, thus far, scored above a seven on IMDB beggars belief. -

Why don't intelligent people just put on the yawning chasms into the goofs section (which other intelligent people visit) instead of ranting in out message out of hundreds (which many intelligent people are unlikely to read)?

No it doesnt swirl and move a lot the problem in the plot twist is that it could have been anything since all of those parts of it were completely left out of the plot if they were not parts of the plot at all to begin with how can you even call it a plot twist?
"oh there was a son of a great magician, who can it be?"
how about whoever? -

Don't get me wrong this and salt are bad movies, but clearly you haven't seen a 10 000$ action movie Where actors are not only bad but don't have the time to do the scenes again and again. Effects are less convincing than what you see on youtube and so on.
At least hollywood is technically up to standards, cgi is professionally done and actors can work on the scenes.
Search this on youtube "When Duty Calls - Ghallywood Movie" -

I should have turned this movie off as soon as the bank robbery in France took place. The acting by the "extra" who opens the real vault to find all the money is gone is absolutely horrendous. "Oh beep in French as though this was just a casual every occurrence. It really set the tone for what a shallow movie this was.
Also the plot was awful. There were what felt like 2 love stories - Ruffalo and Laurent + Eissenberg and Fisher. Both were pretty bad, but the Eissenberg and Fisher one didn't even go anywhere. What was the point in having all those little meaningless conversations?
Oh, and we start off with the movie having the 4 horsemen as the main characters - we're following them. For no reason at all, Ruffalo is now the main character, and the 4 horsemen are now tricking the viewer for no real reason at all in a pathetic manner ("oh, boohoo, poor pickpocket friend is dead.oh wait, he's not, PSYCHEEEE, we got you viewer" - p.s. I'm not referring to their Youtube video, but their actual body langauge and demeanour when watching news of their friend supposedly dying DESPITE BEING THERE AND KNOWING HE WAS FINE).
Just an absolutely horrendous movie.
