saw this in the Regal mystery movie screening 3 weeks ago and I already forgot like 95% of the plot. The only thing I remember is Ben Afflick acting like he was hopelessly stoned the entire runtime 😂
This movie sounds pretty bad considering that the premise actually sounds good. I burst out laughing at your "never work with loved ones" exchange. Have a great weekend, guys.!😂
I once went to a party and brought a bottle of Hypnotic. We’re taking 20 years ago. It was a conversation starter. One guy thought you had to pronounce it with a French accent. Another woman accused me of trying to act like P Diddy. Those were the days!
It's the best comedy of 2023.....Seriously this film had some hilarious moments that obviously weren't supposed to be, and that's what makes it even funnier
Sometimes Ben directs a decent film. I enjoyed Argo. What's the one with Jeremy Renner and a few others and they steal stuff? Whatever. I was trying to sound complimentary of something, but maybe I talked myself out of it.
I like Ben Affleck. Agree he is going through something and it is affecting his work but I have a soft spot for sci-fi thrillers so I'm still going to watch this. I kind of feel bad that he and JLo got back together because I don't think it's each other that they want but rather their old selves that they miss.
There was an extended clip after the movie ended. The main guy villain who is over the organization, actually lived. The post movie clip was really great 👍🏿 It changed my view on the movie
So basically thy used hypnotic as a superpower and not the ay it is which is fine nut what the hell as that end credit scene? That scene just suddenly made the movie into maggi! Can u explain abit
That hpnotiq drink looks terrible haha! I'm 22 and am blessed to be able to search the internet so when I bought my first bottle legally, I ended up enjoying it. I bought a bottle of Angel's Envy bourbon to sip on, and it was good neat, on the rocks, or with a little orange juice. I didn't think the movie was a 1/5, but it was bad. I'd give it a 2.5
Hypnotic was the first liquor I bought for myself when I turned 21 in the military. It was disgusting but it looked pretty 😂 it taste better mixed with Hennessy which is called The Hulk.
It's interesting, I once saw Robert Rodriguez do a film class at a horror film festival I attended. It's clear he has a method to his madness when it comes to putting a film together (especially a smaller-budget one), and it's worked for him quite a bit in the past. And it's clear the guy knows his stuff when it comes to making these films and about cinema in general. Yet sorta like Kevin Smith (both he and Rodriguez being indie filmmakers who got their start in the '90's making small-budget cult films and have since gone on to inspire a new generation of filmmakers), I really wish their more recent titles were up to the fluff of their previous works. It's like both Rodriguez and Smith have lost some of the charm that they had at the start of their careers, and their declines have been sad to see because of how much you're rooting for them. Heck, with this one, I didn't even know Rodriguez had a new movie coming out!
I tried watching Clerks 3 and just could t get through the first 10 minutes. I couldn’t get over the sad fact that these characters never got beyond their clerk jobs 30 years ago. Robert Rodriguez really got bad mouthed by Rose McGowan in her autobiography (which surprisingly is a good book). She painted out to be super controlling and insecure and possessive of her. But beyond that, yes, he hasn’t make a good movie in a long time.
Also, you seemed to fail to mention that both Ben Affleck’s character & his wife’s had sought up that plan from the get go. They did not want there daughter to be in the program, so they faked her kidnapping. They had her come stay with Ben’s Character’s foster parents. When the daughter was powerful enough, Ben’s character drew everyone in the Division to his foster family’s house. The clue referred to the location of the house and not a person. The daughter was now powerful enough to kill everyone in the Division. However, there seems to be a plothole as to how Ben’s character was able in scenario 13 to remember their plan and execute it. Because we are shown scenario 12 and when Ben sees the note, he is genuinely perplexed. Yet after being reset, in scenario 13, right before he discovers the note, Ben remembers everything and executes the plan. I think that the answer is love. The love that Ben’s character had for his family, is what caused his subconscious to remember everything when the time was right. That is what he pretty much explained to the director of the Division at the end of film.
Perhaps, this could have been another version of Mr and Mrs Smith?!😉Nah! So, Joseph's first query ended with "...and both of them are so terrible?!😉 *But* the premise as you described has *two powerful Hypnotics,*😊 "and they had a baby - so she's like a Super Hypnotic" 🤨Uhm?
He looks bored which probably tells me he was forced into it. He also comes across as a guy who thinks these films are beneath him. He needs to age gracefully and transition into directing full time.
@@fishjellyfilmreviewsI can't believe I missed that rating! My husband wanted to watch it, and I told him absolutely not based on what Nick and Joseph said.
Unfortunately most Latina actresses never get good characters in Hollywood it's a constant struggle to get good roles, but I like the fact that Rodriguez gives opportunities to the Latin talent in their films is an important initiative anyway
@@jacobstaten2366 yes it's true, but where are the brazilian characters? There are practically no Brazilian characters in American films, so many Brazilian actors are forced to play other Latino characters from other countries.
@@Fernanda-ne3ef that's part of my point. In some cases, the character is region specific region (case in point). Some aren't specified in the script and it would be nice to just grab someone like her at random. She did play a Brazilian woman in Red Belt as a kind of minor antagonist because her husband (the protagonist) trained in Brazilian Jujutsu under her father and was teaching in America. That's the only example I can think of.
When I brought the ticket a message came up and it said no refunds after purchase (warning) I wouldn’t of put this particular in to the B movie listings as I left after the the officer pulled his hand off but hey may the force be with 😂😂😂😂 thought it was a Netflix movie.
I still drink Hypnotiq sometimes; it's good with some kind of tropical juice: pineapple, mango, etc. The movie doesn't really sound like something Robert Rodriguez would direct. Why is it that it takes a whole fan movement and overwhelming test screening scores to get a decent film like "Evil Dead Rises" a theatrical release, when something like "Hypnotic" goes to the theaters?
I think I enjoyed the film bcuz I just went with the flow! Everything that happened was supernatural rather than hypnotic but I just thought as if hypnotic is a superpower for them! Also the long explanations of everything and no budget in the end was quite problematic!
Knew I was in for a terrible movie when 5 minutes into the movie after Affleck leaves the therapist room, he's immediately picked up by his partner and they're on their way to work a bank case. Pacing was terrible. Did have a good time laughing at it with my mom and pointing out as many plot holes as we could find lol
whoa. didn't we just have a bad "movie of the week" firestarter movie LOL this sounds so so bad. what happened to Robert R? funny listening to you both explain it though LOL!
Lol, I don’t understand how people didn’t understand what was going on in this movie. The only big flaw I see is that they tried this whole story 12 times and didn’t think to change their damn approach. 😒
This film actually reminds me more of Shutter Island & Memento. The actor who played Freddy Kruger in the recent remake, is also in this film and Shutter Island. I feel that his casting is a callback to Shutter Island. Also, Ben Affleck leaving himself little notes is a callback to Memento. Guy Pearce’s character had psychosomatic short term memory loss. Therefore, he left himself little notes to remember what Joey Pants’ character did to him.
“They exchange terse looks, with their victims, and say sentences.” Man! Get ‘em Nick!
thank you for saving my life hours
literally watching all of the vids
love the feedback on film
keep up the great work!
saw this in the Regal mystery movie screening 3 weeks ago and I already forgot like 95% of the plot. The only thing I remember is Ben Afflick acting like he was hopelessly stoned the entire runtime 😂
I saw it there too, so when Nick said it was a work in progress that was everybody's feeling that we had saw it with.
Robert Rodriguez directed the worst episodes of BOOK OF BOBA FETT. His recent track record is not good.
Really?? I didn't know that. Interesting.
This movie sounds pretty bad considering that the premise actually sounds good. I burst out laughing at your "never work with loved ones" exchange. Have a great weekend, guys.!😂
I don't know why people keep putting Ben and Jenn in lead roles. They're both terrible. Jenn needs to be the best friend, at best.
The fact that her second best role was a supporting one in Hustlers says alot
@@nancykerrigan Agree. She's better in an ensemble.
@@nancykerrigan True, I cringe when she's the lead in anything.
I once went to a party and brought a bottle of Hypnotic. We’re taking 20 years ago. It was a conversation starter. One guy thought you had to pronounce it with a French accent. Another woman accused me of trying to act like P Diddy. Those were the days!

I am going to start exchanging terse looks with my victims and saying sentences. 😂Nick inspired me
Oh Lord! Not a drink and a cigarette 😮💨
Did Joseph just say he’d rather watch a movie about the beverage Hypnotiq than this movie?!…priceless 😊
😂❤
Sometimes Ben directs a decent film. I enjoyed Argo. What's the one with Jeremy Renner and a few others and they steal stuff? Whatever.
I was trying to sound complimentary of something, but maybe I talked myself out of it.
The Town.
The last part of your comment 😂😅
The struggle is real 🤣
I like Ben Affleck. Agree he is going through something and it is affecting his work but I have a soft spot for sci-fi thrillers so I'm still going to watch this.
I kind of feel bad that he and JLo got back together because I don't think it's each other that they want but rather their old selves that they miss.
Ben Afflick was in Paycheck which was also memory erasing and trail of clues
Cater Waiters & Cadaver took me out 😂
🤣🤙😛
There was an extended clip after the movie ended. The main guy villain who is over the organization, actually lived. The post movie clip was really great 👍🏿
It changed my view on the movie

I would also rather watch George C. Scott play a native American.
Hypnotic was the first liquor I bought for myself when I turned 21 in the military. It was disgusting but it looked pretty 😂 it taste better mixed with Hennessy which is called The Hulk.
"yeah, that's hard" shade?

Do you have a playlist of all your 1 star reviews? This film sounds like it will be forgotten quickly..
Yes, you can review our Letterboxd accounts.
@@fishjellyfilmreviews Thank you🤗
$65 mil budget. $6 mil box office.
I just can’t take Ben Affleck seriously
His brother Casey was the better actor but unfortunately ended up being a creep.
Same, his smirk creeps me out lol
Haha, Hypnotiq is a beverage I haven't thought about in a long time! Who else mixed it with Hennessy and called that an Incredible Hulk?
Perhaps, this could have been another version of Mr and Mrs Smith?!😉Nah! So, Joseph's first query ended with "...and both of them are so terrible?!😉 *But* the premise as you described has *two powerful Hypnotics,*😊 "and they had a baby - so she's like a Super Hypnotic" 🤨Uhm?

Are you allowed to give a movie a 1/2 star?
Oh yes…off the top of my head, I know we gave On A Wing and A Prayer a half star.
@@fishjellyfilmreviewsI can't believe I missed that rating! My husband wanted to watch it, and I told him absolutely not based on what Nick and Joseph said.
I actually enjoyed it. Reminds me of Killgrave from Jessica Jones.
Omg! Ben
Ike his wife CANT ACT!
Sorry I know y’all gonna come for me but geez this was terrible
Unfortunately most Latina actresses never get good characters in Hollywood it's a constant struggle to get good roles, but I like the fact that Rodriguez gives opportunities to the Latin talent in their films is an important initiative anyway
She's Brazilian,but they keep casting her as Israeli, Colombian, Mexican, etc. It just feels weird.
@@jacobstaten2366 yes it's true, but where are the brazilian characters? There are practically no Brazilian characters in American films, so many Brazilian actors are forced to play other Latino characters from other countries.

The fact that he's not even promoting this movie says a lot. I guess even he doesn't like it.
What is even this?! A safety box deposit in his mind? It's giving M. Night doing a Christopher Nolan 👀

Thanks! I will likely see this dreck.
Thank you!
Thank you for watching movies I never intend to watch and spoiling them because Im nosey anyway 👍🤭
I love Ben Affleck and looking forward to seeing this film 😊
No... thank me later. It is horrible. For real
This movie was so bad, I almost walked out of the theater, and I never do that ever. Complete ass water.
they could've tried to tell the story in a simpler way. I can tell a lil bit of fire starter inception and tenet.

This one was pretty bad, thank you for the review
I walked the hell out of this movie
I also thought it was going to be about that drink that hot Latina college students partied with. But still funny.
Now, i actually wanna watch the movie
Movie does looks cheap, couldn’t agree more. The twist was unexciting and Ben needs a cigarette
Knew I was in for a terrible movie when 5 minutes into the movie after Affleck leaves the therapist room, he's immediately picked up by his partner and they're on their way to work a bank case. Pacing was terrible. Did have a good time laughing at it with my mom and pointing out as many plot holes as we could find lol
I just watched it and it was okay-ish! Can u tell me a few problems in it I missed probs!
Yall Left Out Robert Rodriguez BEST Film... "From Dusk Till Dawn" and he's also Quentin Tarantino's Ace Boon Coon
Givin me shutter island, inception & firestarter vibes....❤ Queen of the south aka Alice Braga and that's it for this movie lmao
Wondering what's going on with Ben. Seems unhappy. Alicia Braga is so beautiful and I know she can act acting with a corpse( affleck) has to be tough🤣
Author, Robert Cormier wrote I am the Cheese and I suggest everyone read that instead of watching this rip off of a movie
Hypnotic 😂😅😊. What's that other one? It's like Hpnotiq.
I found it - Alize!!
whoa. didn't we just have a bad "movie of the week" firestarter movie LOL this sounds so so bad. what happened to Robert R? funny listening to you both explain it though LOL!
Won’t see it then.
This movie had so many twist and turns. It was terrible
This movie is pure crap. I could not understand what was going on.
violence galore . Ben must need a paycheck.
Lol, I don’t understand how people didn’t understand what was going on in this movie. The only big flaw I see is that they tried this whole story 12 times and didn’t think to change their damn approach. 😒
The end is weak, but i still had fun.
He's dead cos he on KETO or something 😂😂😂😂
The final moment of the movie is just awful. The cut to the title screen is cheesy
Why do people keep giving Ben Affleck jobs?
Did Joseph confused Rodriguez for Romero? That was his lowest point in the channel! hahaha
That sounds like a boring movie! I need action and sense!
Affleck fell off, damn.
This film actually reminds me more of Shutter Island & Memento. The actor who played Freddy Kruger in the recent remake, is also in this film and Shutter Island. I feel that his casting is a callback to Shutter Island. Also, Ben Affleck leaving himself little notes is a callback to Memento. Guy Pearce’s character had psychosomatic short term memory loss. Therefore, he left himself little notes to remember what Joey Pants’ character did to him.
This movies awesome 😎
What a stupid yawn of movie mess!
