This slick and cheesy Netflix movie only occasionally rises to the potential of its wild premise, thanks mostly to a crazy-eyed, licking-his-chops performance from Jason O\u2019Mara. He knows exactly what kind of material he\u2019s working with here. For the most part, though, \u201cHypnotic\u201d is dopey, but never quite dopey enough.<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<p>Not to be confused with the Ben Affleck\/Robert Rodriguez movie of the same name that\u2019s currently in production, \u201cHypnotic\u201d stars longtime horror actress Kate Siegel (\u201cThe Haunting of Hill House,\u201d \u201cMidnight Mass\u201d) as a woman named Jenn, who\u2019s in flux. She\u2019s an unemployed software engineer who recently broke up with her long-term boyfriend (Jaime M. Callica), and she\u2019s feeling stuck. We know she\u2019s sad because she wears baggy, mismatched sweats all day, and not the overpriced loungewear that\u2019s become fashionable during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>At a housewarming party for her best friend, Gina (Lucie Guest), Jenn meets Gina\u2019s therapist, Dr. Collin Meade (O\u2019Mara). Our first red flag about him should be the fact that he\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a>izing so freely with his patients (our second being his propensity for pairing turtlenecks with blazers). But he\u2019s quietly intriguing with his steely, blue eyes and rich, resonant voice\u2014O\u2019Mara has played Batman in several animated DC Comics <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a>\u2014so Jenn decides to visit him for a session and work through her issues. The lurid, black-and-silver office d\u00e9cor and a split diopter shot are early indicators that Dr. Meade\u2019s intentions might not be entirely honorable. (They\u2019re also indicators that directors Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote have seen a lot of Brian De Palma movies).<\/p>\n<p>Still, an hour under hypnosis flies by as if it were just a few minutes, and when Jenn awakens, she instantly feels unstuck. \u201cI think you might be more open to suggestibility than you imagined,\u201d Dr. Meade purrs with a gleam in his eye. But when she suddenly can\u2019t account for giant chunks of time and bad things h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en to the people around her, she starts asking questions. In playing amateur detective, she laughably Googles the phrase \u201chypnosis crimes\u201d and then prints out the actual results to make her argument to the skeptical Gina.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Dr. Meade has a knack for ubiquity, showing up wherever Jenn goes, gaslighting her with smooth responses to her every concern, messing with her mind even further. A low-key Dule Hill doesn\u2019t get much of a character to play as the Portland police detective who\u2019s been investigating Meade\u2019s patients\u2014and the untimely demise so many of them seem to suffer\u2014for years. It\u2019s also convenient (and unlikely) that he doesn\u2019t have a cell phone charger in his car, rendering him unreachable at a key moment.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>What\u2019s actually going on here is so simple, yet so insane, that you wish the filmmakers had explored it for maximum screaming-at-the-screen enjoyment. The possibilities for what Dr. Meade\u2019s doing here are boundless, and have provided the foundation for more intriguing psychological thrillers in the past. (Naming those titles would give too much away, sorry.) Angel and Coote worked from a screenplay by Richard D\u2019Ovidio, who also wrote the 2013\u2019s \u201cThe Call,\u201d starring Halle Berry as a 911 operator chasing down a kidnapper. That was a legitimately tense B-movie featuring several go-for-broke action sequences and a driven heroine at its center with a laser-like focus on her goal. Nothing nearly so compelling occurs in \u201cHypnotic.\u201d Up until the busy, noisy climax, Siegel\u2019s performance consists mostly of reacting to what\u2019s being done to her. There\u2019s not much to her character beyond her appearance, which is crucial to Dr. Meade\u2019s attraction to Jenn. And at one point, when she knows he\u2019s after her and her life is in danger, she simply goes back to her apartment and curls up on the couch.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, that\u2019s probably the same position you\u2019ll be in when you\u2019re scrolling through Netflix and stumble upon \u201cHypnotic.\u201d Snap out of it.<\/p>\n<p><em>Now playing on Netflix.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Christy Lemire\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/static.rogerebert.com\/uploads\/user\/primary_image\/christy-lemire\/featured_Christy_Headshot.jpg\" title=\"Christy Lemire\"><\/img><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div><figcaption>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Christy_Lemire\"><\/span>Christy Lemire<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Christy Lemire is a longtime film critic who has written for RogerEbert.com since 2013.
