MOVIE REVIEW: Robert Rodriguez and Ben Affleck team up for pulpy mindbender Hypnotic.
Now that Rodriguez, we haven't seen in a while, but he's definitely lurking around inIt's a throwback at so many levels, and not just because of the influence of Hitchcock's Freudian crime flicks like. This is a strangely overdue union of two giants of Nineties indie cinema with a strong Austin connection – Rodriguez andstar Ben Affleck – in a nasty, twisty little crime yarn with a psycho-sci-fi twist.
It's all deliciously pulpy, so maybe this is the fourth, lesser-recognized Rodriguez. Maybe this is the popcorn-and-bubblegum Rodriguez, the filmmaker who remembers that movies can just be distracting fun, the director of unabashedly earnest Fifties throwback. This is Rodriguez the lover of the C-movie, the kind of filmmaker that Roger Corman would have adored.has that run-and-gun energy, rough around the edges but not in a way that impinges on the fun.
