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.

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.

It’s sloppily executed, without a hint of dramatic tension.

While Robert Rodriguez’s Hypnotic has some potential, the film is unfortunately an uninspired mess.
