Ben Affleck's Mind-Bending Performance in 'Hypnotic': A Review
"Hypnotic" is a muddled and disjointed film that shamelessly rips off "X-Files" and Christopher Nolan's work. Ben Affleck plays a gruff Austin police detective who investigates a bank robbery orchestrated by a hypnotic named Lev Dellrayne, played by William Fichtner. While Fichtner's performance is memorable, the film's serious tone and dull exposition-heavy scenes make it a chore to watch. The final act hits the audience over the head with explanations that aren't very interesting. /Film Rating: 5 out of 10.
