Ben Affleck Stars in Twisty Sci-Fi Thriller Hypnotic from Director Robert Rodriguez
- Ben Affleck plays a detective who investigates his daughter's disappearance and encounters a dangerous hypnotist in Robert Rodriguez's pulpy new film Hypnotic.
- The story involves elaborate twists, psychic powers, and conspiracies in the vein of Inception but with Rodriguez's signature style.
- Rodriguez has wanted to make the film for 20 years and was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo.
- The film straddles the line between highbrow and lowbrow and is unlikely to be a major hit but may gain a cult following.
- Rodriguez remains committed to making authentic films in his own vision and is hopeful for a sequel to Alita: Battle Angel.
