Ben Affleck and Robert Rodriguez’s ‘Hypnotic’ Was Doomed From the Start
Combine one of today’s renowned Hollywood actors, Ben Affleck, with the director of movies like “From Dusk Till Dawn” (1996) and “Once Upon A Time in Mexico” (2003), Robert Rodriguez. This unlikely pairing brings us an action-packed thriller that sees Affleck’s character acquiring the abilities of Marvel’s Doctor Strange, all on a tight budget. Add a dash of family drama to the mix, and you have a unique blend of suspense and emotion. Interestingly, two years before the release of the enigmatic action movie “Hypnotic” (2017), Rodriguez revealed to Collider that he had been working on this project for nearly 20 years, starting in 2002, making it one of his favorite stories.
