Ben Affleck stars in this neo-noir, a mashup of films such as 'Inception,' 'The Truman Show' and 'X-Men,' and despite the director's filmmaking flourish, it proves too absurd to take seriously
Robert Rodriguez new mind-bender "Hypnotic" screened as this year s SXSW Film Festival as a "work in progress." Now just two months later it s getting the full theater treatment. I m not sure what has been added, subtracted, or fine-tuned since its recent premiere.
