Hypnotic is one of those films that will leave the audience guessing all the way through. A must see, heart-pounding, edge of your seat thriller!
If you are a fan of movies that will have you wondering what is real and what isn’t, then Hypnotic is for you. It is an edge of your seat, heart-pounding, intense thriller that is an absolute must see – on the biggest screen possible.
When a detective (Ben Affleck) learns that his missing daughter and a string of high-profile bank robberies might be connected, he must go on a mind-bending journey to find his daughter and stop the secret government agency behind the madness. If you are thinking this sounds a little bit like Tenet and Inception, mixed with Taken, you would be right. That is exactly what this movie feels like.
Action-Packed & Visually Stunning
If there is one thing that director Robert Rodriquez knows how to do, it is deliver massive action scenes that are a blast to watch (no pun intended). Thankfully there are quite a few of these sprinkled throughout Hypnotic, and you won’t have to wait very long for the first one.
Every once in a while reality is shaped into something new, which provides some truly breathtaking visuals. When the sky turns into trains, you know the movie is a good one. The CGI isn’t always perfect, but when it hits, it hits.
Hypnotic has its fair share of heart-pumping, adrenaline-filled action sequences including chases, fights, and explosions. Each of which fits into the plot well, but also is a joy to watch on screen. Trust me when I tell you that you will be smiling while simultaneously still trying to put everything together.
Filled With Twists and Turns
Probably the best thing about this movie is just how twisted it is. What seems like a straightforward enough story at the beginning, is shaped and molded into something truly baffling – in a good way.
The longer the movie goes on, the more things are thrown at the audience that will have them shaking their heads in disbelief, wondering how they missed the clues and hints. While some of these are a bit on the predictable side, they aren’t all that way. I promise you there are a few that will leave you in complete shock.
