Hypnotic Ratings & Reviews
- shirazesatJuly 27, 2025Good storyline but has that "TV movie" feel
- Örn LúðvíkssonOctober 5, 2025It's not good enough for a sunday evening watch. Sorry not sorry Ben Affleck.
- neuroparadoxJuly 29, 2025A clue reads: "Find Lev Dellrayne" oh yeah that's a perfectly normal human name, definitely real and not a fucking stupid anagram that sucks and fuck you I'm not putting on a spoiler tag, this movie doesn't deserve it. "How bad coul it really be?" I thought to myself...
- Kevin WardJuly 2, 2025Hypnotic felt like Robert Rodriguez trying really hard to make a Christopher Nolan film but with a made-for-tv-movie budget. (Except then you find out this cost $70m 😱) Many elements and imagery are pulled directly from films like Inception, Tenet, and The Dark Knight. Unfortunately, when you evoke imagery of such films, you’re inviting a comparison, and in that regard, Hypnotic pales. Affleck, Braga, and Fichtner do their best to elevate this twisty and convoluted story. An introduction from Robert Rodriguez played just before this advanced screening and pleaded with the audience not to spoil any of the film's twists. However, none of the twists were exceptionally mind-blowing or even satisfying. So while Hypnotic is passably entertaining to watch, I have to stop short of recommending it. It does not come anywhere close to the quality of the films it’s emulating, and you’re better off watching or re-watching one of those instead.
- Kevin WettengelFebruary 26, 2025Different kind of movie. Kinda like Inception but with a twist.
