"Hypnotic" is a sci-fi thriller that follows Detective Daniel Rourke, played by
Ben Affleck, as he uncovers a conspiracy involving mind-controlling criminals.
Reality bends and twists around Rourke, whose daughter is already missing before
the movie begins.
As he chases and runs away from an enigmatic
hypnotic played by William Fichtner, Rourke finds himself immersed in
a world of delirium and ambiguous clues. Directed by Robert Rodriguez, the film
presents a crisis of imagination, with Austin serving as the backdrop for the
story.
While "Hypnotic" lacks polish and depth compared to Christopher Nolan's
films, Rodriguez's personal touches and clumsy execution add a certain charm to
the genre exercise, making it a mildly enjoyable experience for fans of his
work. |
