Hypnotic

3.5 - B- concept held together with an F script and some string. All my favorite mind bending thrillers made predictable, and on a $4 budget.

“We have Christopher Nolan at home” movie.

Blah.

10/10
kept me intrigued the entire time. loved that you actually had to pay attention to piece clues together and everything wasn’t blatantly obvious. it also had a good ending that didn’t leave you w a million unanswered questions.

Had the potential to be a good movie but I just felt like something was missing the entire time. There were plot holes and it just felt like the idea wasn’t fully developed. Part of the time I felt like I was watching a bad rip off of Inception and other times Stranger Things

Meh

Hypnotic feels like Inception’s confused cousin—cool concept, but it spirals fast. Ben Affleck looks as lost as the audience. Twists keep coming, but not all of them land. It’s trying hard to be deep, but it’s mostly just… weirdly entertaining.
