A cheap, tedious knock off of Inception. Some of the script sounds like it's been directly lifted. Nolan should sue!!

Really good, so long as you’ve never seen Inception, or Firestarter, or Memento, or New Mutants, or Tenet, or The Dark Knight, or Spy Kids, or

Clearly, the amount of money spent on this disaster could have been put to much better use, like actually making a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. I can only assume that Ben Affleck found himself in dire straits, desperately in need of a hefty paycheck, or perhaps Robert Rodriguez decided to play a little prank on his unsuspecting audience. Because, really, what better way to show appreciation for your fans than to serve them a mishmash of stolen ideas from countless other movies? In fact, I highly recommend spending your time watching mind-numbing TikTok videos instead - they're bound to bring you more joy. Spare a thought for the poor actors who naively thought they were embarking on a project with the esteemed Mr. Affleck, only to find themselves trapped in this nonsensical and woefully misguided cinematic disaster.

It was an ok film. Felt more like a streaming film. It was a cool concept on paper but horribly executed. And it just gets wack in the 3rd act, and that final monologue from Affleck was so forced and horribly written. Tons of plot holes.

It was an ok film. Felt more like a streaming film. It was a cool concept on paper but horribly executed. And it just gets wack in the 3rd act, and that final monologue from Affleck was so forced and horribly written. Tons of plot holes.

I love Robert Rodriguez so much, Sin City, From Dusk Till Dawn, and Planet Terror. But this film was disappointing. I didn't think this film was awful. But it didn't feel like Rodriguez, I know. Rodriguez tried to make Inception, but the story and acting were not that great (I blame the director on this one).

Just cheesy. So many twists that it was over-complicated compared to the plot.

Calling this convoluted and stupid is giving this film way too much credit. I would call this offensively misleading and directionless. Affleck is giving a wonderfully bad phoned in and expressionless performance.

An insult to your brain! Most stupid movie of the year! In the beginning I presumed the caracters that were used to do tasks for the hypnotiser where prepped in advance, but the movie is built around the concept that some can make you do something by telling you. I love SF so anything goes, if its credible. This is not! Also its full of mistakes. Like often they only have to arrest or shoot the culprit who is standing closeby, but they don't!And nonsense, like when they shoot his best colleage, to 'save' him from his hypnotic orders. There are many ways to prevent someone from harm, but a bullet in the forehead ain't one. There's only one reason to go to this mess, thats when you can't get to sleep. This will make your mind do tricks to escape the stupidity, like dozing off... Expand
