Hypnotic

An easy, laidback thriller film with a side of popcorn.

...might hit the exact right spot in the brain that makes you give in...

Robert Rodriguez's crisp thriller... gleefully embraces its own uproariousness.

...it is a reminder of just how joyously watchable such genre fare can be - and in many respects, the more ridiculous Hypnotic gets, the more it endears.

The goofier it all gets, the more one starts to warm to it, leaning further away from its initial A-trappings and nestling into a far more likable B-movie mode.

Hypnotic isn’t just refreshingly straightforward for Rodriguez, but for Ben Affleck too.
