Hypnotic

Determined to find his missing daughter, an Austin detective instead finds himself spiralling down a rabbit hole while investigating a series of reality-bending bank robberies where he will ultimately call into question his most basic assumptions about everything and everyone in his world. Aided by an unnervingly gifted psychic, he simultaneously pursues and is pursued by a lethal spectre - the one man he believes holds the key to finding the missing girl - only to discover more than he ever bargained for.

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Although Hypnotic isn't without glimmers of inspiration, the ultimate effect of this often clunky crime caper will be to leave you feeling rather sleepy.	8
