(2023) Hypnotic - A Movie with Interesting Plot and Some Mind Bending Part which Sadly not Explored Enough

After seeing the trailer to this movie multiple times in the theaters, I was quite intrigued and interested in seeing it. But it took a while till it's finally released in certain cinema chain in Indonesia three days ago. Anyway last night I gave it a try by myself as my wife was feeling too tired. Well, let us get into it.

Brief Story Line

Danny Rourke (Ben Affleck - The Flash, Deep Water etc) was a police detective who had traumatic experience when his young daughter Minnie was kidnapped and never found for years. After being called up for a possible crime in a bank by his partner Nicks (J. D. Pardo - The Terminal List TV series etc), both of them decided to do a stakeout. When Rourke saw a mysterious man (William Fichtner - Prison Break TV series, Armageddon etc), he immediately suspected he was the culprit which turned out to be true. 

Spiritwalker - An Interesting Mind Bending Action Thriller Movie

I got notification of this movie from Catchplay+ last weekend and after reading its synopsis, I could not help to be intrigued by the premise which was said to be combination of The Bourne Identity and Memento. So after settling the voucher for single rental on the platform, I watched this with my wife on Sunday. Now let's get to it.

Brief Story Line

A man (Yoon Kye-sang - The Outlaws, The Greatest Love TV series etc) woke up from an apparent car accident without any memory after a homeless person (Park Ji-hwan - The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure etc) was trying to get some stuff from the car. While trying to figure out who he was, somehow the man seemed to "move" to another location but his appearance looked different. 

The Matrix Resurrections - Satisfying in Term of Actions Sequence though Story Telling Might be too Slow and Heavy for Casual Viewers

So there's another sequel to one of the beloved movie franchise that I was intrigued to see. But as I mentioned in my previous posts, I waited till the weekend to see it in the cinemas. This time we saw it in the location where it also showed another movie that my wife and I were eyeing for. OK let's get this started then.

Brief Story Line

Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves - John Wick movies, The Whole Truth etc) was working in video game company together with his boss (Jonathan Groff - Frozen II, Glee TV series etc). As a successful developer of the hit game The Matrix, Thomas seemed unable to differentiate reality with illusion and had to visit a psychiatrist (Neil Patrick Harris - 8-Bit Christmas, How I Met Your Mother TV series etc). Thomas also had a strange feeling of attachment with a woman named Tiffany (Carrie-Anne Moss - Jessica Jones TV series, Memento etc) who looked like the character Trinity in The Matrix.
