Hypnotic

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

...never boring sci-fi thriller about a Texas cop, played by Ben Affleck, who stumbles upon a conspiracy of mind-controlling crooks.

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

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

...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.
