Robert Rodriguez is an unapologetic student and practitioner of B-movies. His latest, Hypnotic, is nearly classical in that regard. It's semi-stylish junk, but in a good way. rockmarooned's review:
may involve powers worthy of the X-Men, able to distort and reshape victims’ perception, but the movie also indulges in a hyper-specific form of time travel. Unbeknownst to its characters, the film takes a leisurely tour of the 2000s. The 2003 John Woo puzzleris its unlikely North Star, as the films share Ben Affleck attempting to piece together a futuristic mystery. Additional stops include 2001’s.
Affleck, who seems to be aiming for a world-weary growl but mostly sounds congested, plays Danny Rourke, an Austin cop back on duty following the abduction of his daughter; though her kidnapper was caught, the child hasn’t yet been found. Staking out a tip about a possible bank robbery, Danny notices suspicious behavior from a man he later learns is named Lev Dellrayne , who creates seemingly effortless distractions around him as he targets a single safety deposit box.
