Danny Rourke is determined to find his missing daughter, or at least learn what happened to her, he finds himself investigating some bizarre and inexplicable cases, where the crimes seem almost impossible.
I was almost quick to switch off, and simply dismiss it as a poor man's Inception, and whilst there are definitely some shades, that obscure surrealism, it's kind of worth sticking with.
I'm a big fan of Ben Affleck, and I'd watch him in anything, and boy has he been in some awful films, this one is far from awful, but it should have been so much better.
The narrative at times is non existent, you'll be sat wondering who, what, where, and on the other side, you have the psychic explaining bits of the plot, presumably to try and give the audience a clue as to what's going on, if you're not concentrating, you will lose it.
On the plus side, it looks great, and it does feel a little different to what's out there, Affleck and Braga are both good, though I feel their characters are both stuck in second gear, neither really offer up too much.
All in all, it's watchable, but it's a frustrating watch.
5/10.

Had hopes, but this from Ben and the director Rodriguez is pretty bad. To the point of 80's clunkers where cheese was heavily spread throughout many films. As title of review suggests, this seems like a project that Nic Cage missed out on. With Nic amped up to 11, it may have proven to be a fun film. Unfortunately, those involved seemed to be seriously thinking the loose writing, poorly chosen film score and bad acting were what audiences were hoping for. Here's hoping Ben washes the grime off and gets back to delivering some decent entertainment. For now, this film certainly won't be added to my blu-ray collection.
Robert Rodriguez weaves a mesmerizing tale, shrouded in enigma, always keeping you on the edge of your seat. The truth dances just beyond your reach, as he deftly manipulates the story like a skilled magician. Admittedly, I've seen Ben Affleck deliver more captivating performances in other films. His innate charm remains partially hidden in this endeavor. Nonetheless, it remains an enthralling watch. Affleck portrays a cop haunted by the haunting disappearance of his daughter, a mystery that has plagued him for years. However, a string of daring bank heists propels him into a clandestine world of extraordinary individuals endowed with psionic powers, individuals who may hold the key to his daughter's fate. The film's convoluted twists and turns defy expectations, defying your attempts to unravel its secrets. Alice Braga mesmerizes with her portrayal, seamlessly embodying her character's essence. While I personally relish the challenge of deciphering the intricacies of a film's plot, Braga's character defies such expectations. She elucidates the intricate details, leaving little room for speculation. The veil of mystery is lifted, revealing the truth in stark clarity. Character development takes a backseat as the narrative unfurls, for we are explicitly informed of the events as they unfold. Nevertheless, JD Pardo, as Nicks, delivers a compelling performance, leaving us yearning to witness him take the lead in future endeavors. Affleck, in his portrayal of Danny Rourke, showcases unwavering strength, anchoring the film with his solid presence. The twists and turns of the story remain delightfully elusive, avoiding the trap of predictability that often plagues such tales. In comparison to its 2021 namesake, this film shines brightly, offering a far superior experience. I sincerely recommend embarking on this mysterious journey.
This is a B movie all the way. It has Ben Affleck, but it's still a B movie. The budget was $70M but it's still a B movie. They really tried to create something creative, so I give them credit. That being said, it just didn't work. That's why the studio buried the investment.
Nolan likes to create extremely complex plots, with wild ideas that can alter time, space, perception, reality, memory and in this case the ability to control others thoughts thorough ESP.
It's just way to complex given the cast, locations and the overall premise. It's similar to SCANNERS from 1981. The idea is, but it lacks that 80s vibe, practical special effects and it's just confusing and too short given all there is to unpack. 5.2/10 for the idea and some clever scenes.

So about 20 minutes into this movie I thought it was terrible. Affleck's acting is particularly bad, and there's plot holes big enough to drive a bus through, and it just kind of felt like a bad movie that I'd suffer through till the end, but then something happened.... the "reveal" around the hour mark. Suddenly all those plot "holes" weren't actually plot holes, and Affleck's "bad" acting wasn't actually bad at all. That's the point. It's SUPPOSED to watch like a terrible movie because that sets up the reveal. I hate to say it, but that nuance once u know the reveal is kinda brilliant. Affleck in particular is acting badly... ON PURPOSE! And you're supposed to notice those plot holes and be like "Wait, how is that possible?". Those are the clues to the reveal.
So yeah, is it the best movie ever? No. But anyone writing a bad review (in particular criticizing Affleck's acting) just doesn't understand that that was the assignment.

- CuriosidadesIn a 2023 interview with Collider, Robert Rodriguez explained the short production schedule and quick shooting style that resulted: "Originally, it was gonna be 55 days, which is pretty luxurious. It's not bad for me the way I shoot. That's a lot of time, that's good. That's about what we do on a Sin City - A Cidade do Pecado (2005)-type movie. But because we had to shut down three times, every time we got shut down we'd have to find money in the budget somewhere, and then the easiest way to cut budget is to cut days. So I went from 55 days, then the second time it cut down to 40 days, then the second time we shut down to 34 days, but it wasn't like a 12 to 14-hour day. They were French hour, 10-hour days, which, when you change locations several times a day like we had to, that's more like a 6 to 8-hour day, so that's like a 24-day schedule. So I had to spin it in a good way. I thought, 'Ben Affleck's gonna hate this,' and I thought, 'Wait a minute, he's from the '90s too.' So I said, 'Hey, Ben, it's gonna be like the roaring '90s, man. Remember when we started, we were shooting from the hip, indie style?' And he went, 'Yeah, I didn't think anyone shot like that anymore. I stand around a lot on sets,' and said, 'Let's do it that way.' So he was into it and we had such a blast. I think it brought an energy to it that reminded me of, 'Oh, I got the Alfred Hitchcock experience.' He (Hitchcock) was so tired of the bloated budgets and the long schedules that he said, 'Man, this TV thing is the way to go. I'm gonna take my TV crew, we're gonna shoot Psicose (1960) in black and white and shoot it fast.' So this was kind of like our Psycho [laughs]. We had to just shoot it very quick, but I think that's why it feels so fast is because we had to shoot it fast and we didn't have time to shoot extra s**t that would have just slowed the edit down. So we kind of had to just go with the essentials and cut it, and get it down to the- it's like a 90-minute movie, right? It's like 94 minutes."
