My Hypnotic review

 My Hypnotic review 

 

Intro: OK having two similar movies come out in the same year is one thing. Having two movies with the same title is something else. 

(My editor told me that the Netflix version came out two years ago.) 

That doesn't make things less confusing. 

Hypnotic: This movie is centered on a detective name Det. Danny Rourke who's trying to find his daughter who has been missing for four years. One day he gets a lead when he investigates a series of crimes that bends reality. In order to find his daughter, he has to figure out what is real? 

This movie was a disappointment. This is one of those films that has an interesting concept, but the execution is bad. The ability to manipulate people in this movie would have been better if it wasn't treated like a superpower. I don't know why the creators think going in this direction is a good idea. The movie had the elements to make this concept work, but they don't use them properly. Heck, there is a scene in the movie Focus that did a better job than this movie. This movie could have been a social commentary on the human mind and subliminal messages. The writers could have had fun with this idea, but they didn't do that. I don't have anything to say about the characters because there's nothing much to them. The movie itself feels lifeless. 

The only good thing I can say about this movie is that it had one funny scene in it. Also, the twist and turns took me by surprise but that not saying much. Overall, this movie failed to be a mind-bending experience. That's a shame because this movie could have been better. 

Rating = Trash
