There’s really only one truly magical effect in Now You See Me: Now You Don’t: the accent employed by Rosamund Pike, which seems to be travelling the world quicker than the speed of light.
As silky villain Veronika Vanderberg, who gets to be evil while wearing a stunning evening gown compete with cape (my favourite kind of movie villain), she goes full Streep and then some – sometimes sounding American Southern, sometimes Eastern European, sometimes British, sometimes … well, I have no idea whatsoever, but it was a rich and glorious journey.
Summary:
Never quite as much fun as you expect it to be.
