New to Netflix - HYPNOTIC
Netflix’s newest release, *Hypnotic*, is a $70 million original starring Ben Affleck and directed by Robert Rodriguez. Despite the sizable budget and Rodriguez’s hands‑on involvement across writing, directing, editing and cinematography, the film feels cheap and reminiscent of low‑budget 1990s fare. Critics cite a convoluted script, weak performances and an overreliance on exposition that undermines suspense. The movie is now streaming in the UK and Ireland, marking another high‑budget gamble that fell short of expectations.
