Critics Consensus

Although Hypnotic isn't without glimmers of inspiration, the ultimate effect of this often clunky crime caper will be to leave you feeling rather sleepy.

Audience Consensus

Sure, Hypnotic is predictable, but it's still a fairly fun thriller with plenty of twists and turns.

Enjoyable movie. Had some fun with the premise and mystery, Ben Affleck is always entertaining, and Rodriguez always finds a way to make things fun and well directed. B-movie Inception fun

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Mr. Hollywood

Such a disappointing film from Robert and Ben. Expected way more than a generic run of the mill Firestarter knockoff. Felt like a made for cable movies from the 90s

Sadly it was the only movie playing that fit our schedule so we decided how bad could it be with Ben Affleck. It was pretty bad.

This is what happens when a less-talented director tries to make a Christopher Nolan movie.

Observer (UK)

At times I was reminded of the 2015 thriller Solace, in which Anthony Hopkins helped the FBI by functioning as a sort of psychic satnav. Somehow, this is even sillier.

Rated: 2/5

Charlotte O'Sullivan

London Evening Standard

As it is, even with the short running time, there are plenty of opportunities to notice the lack of spark between Affleck and Braga, the grating bombast of the soundtrack and the paltry special effects.

Rated: 2/5

The Times of India

Do not expect too much from the film, and there's a chance you might just enjoy it. It’s silly and absurd.

Rated: 2.5/5

Víctor López G.

Espinof

Rodriguez's spirit and good intentions seem to have been lost among medium budgets —but perhaps not quite generous enough— excessive seriousness, and convoluted plots in a sort of $65 million B-movie with Nolan-esque aspirations.

Rated: 5/10

Screen Zealots

A laughably bad, poorly acted movie. When nothing is real or as it seems, and you can’t trust anything you see happening, who cares? I certainly didn’t.
