More treat than trick
This definitely plays tribute to the original in many ways. With certain scenes, settings and especially the music. These are nice touches and definitely tie it in as a new direct sequel to the original.
I was surprised a lot of the kills weren't that gory and quite often not on screen. Often leaving the horror for your mind to image. Overall a good film although the ending felt a bit abrupt, but I liked the little details put in.

By today's standards only one was gory. That's another way in which it's similar to the first.

Twisty turny mystery thriller about a quartet of stage magicians, who use their skills and talents to perform a trio of impressive and highly publicised crimes (robbing a bank, draining the account of corrupt individuals etc and redistributing their targets wealth), all the time being chased by both an FBI agent and a magician debunker (ummm ... two separate people, just to be clear).

It's flashy stuff, with little in the way of substance, however, and an ending you can see coming from about a 1/3rd of the way through.

Still might watch the sequel, though!
