Hypnotic

I don't think I've ever seen Affleck so jaded and bored. It’s as if he was saying to himself “God, what kind of crap have I gotten myself into again?” (04/06/2023)

Robert Rodriguez's latest is an interesting film. I haven't seen anything this stupid in a long time, but this film rips off other people's ideas and mixes them up so shamelessly that I actually enjoyed watching it. (11/05/2023)

Robert Rodriguez should have made another Alita rather than this. At the beginning, the film is interesting with its hypnosis theme, but somewhere in the middle it gets so overwrought that I stopped caring. Affleck isn't very expressive, and even though the film is only 90 minutes long, I found the plot quite slow, and when I'm already looking at 60 minutes to see when the end will be, it's just not a good look. The ending does bring an interesting twist, but it just wasn't to my taste. It didn't quite pull me in as much as I would have liked. 50% (15/06/2023)

A B-grade noir that turns into a total mindfuck. Yeah, it’s bollocks, but very entertaining bollocks, where something is constantly going on. Made from the heart and featuring a well-fitting Affleck in the lead role – he really found himself in the role of a stoic tough guy, ruined by life and pissed off at everyone. It surprised me a bit, so I’m giving it a slightly higher rating. (02/06/2023)
