Hypnotic (2023)

 

Ben Aflick stars as Danny, a detective investigating the mystery of his young daughters disappearance which slowly, and I mean, slowly, unravels a secret Government programme. Aflick is in full frowny mode for the entire film, there's loads of grimacing, vehicles crashing, and gunfire, and I mean LOTS of gunfire! It does star the always excellent William Fichtner ('Armageddon', 'Black Hawk Down' etc) as a Government agent, all dead eyes and black suit. It's a clunky Sci-Fi crime thriller with shades of 'Inception,' the actual overall story is pretty good, but the slow pace makes it hard to recommend.

2/5
