Hypnotic (2023)

"This slick mix of special effects and practical ingenuity puts Affleck in a fun position..."

"It's so narratively murky that you may find yourself wishing someone would hypnotize you into thinking you're watching a better movie."

"It’s watchable enough, but ultimately has the counterfeit feel of a filmmaker dabbling in a genre that’s not a natural fit and finding little joy in it."

"While the illusions on top of illusions that Hypnotic piles up don’t always fit together into a compelling whole, it all manages to arrive at an appropriately cathartic conclusion that tosses everything out the window just as it hits home."

"Imagine Christopher Nolan’s Memento if it had been rewritten by an escaped lunatic: voila, that’s Hypnotic..."

"Hypnotic isn’t just refreshingly straightforward for Rodriguez, but for Ben Affleck too."
