My favorite series is the Now You See Me series‚ and more specifically‚ the sequel is one of my favorite movies of all time. In my opinion‚ the sequel does everything a sequel should do.

There is no excuse for drinking on the job but Jesse thinks otherwise. “He was fifty years old today‚ and he wanted to do something wild and woolly‚ like get half-lit and pull the chemical train”‚ this is Jesse’s poor excuse for working while intoxicated (Gautreaux 328). It seems as if Jesse is just tired of the same old routine and wants to do something different for a change. All of a sudden things took a turn for the worse for the experienced engineer.
