A Real Clinical Hypnotherapist Reacts to Ben Affleck's "Hypnotic": Fact or Fiction?

A Fast-Paced Thriller with a Psychological Twist... But is it Really About Hypnosis?

Ben Affleck's latest movie, "Hypnotic," has recently been released and is sure to be a hit. The film follows Detective Daniel Rourke (Affleck), who is searching for his missing daughter when he realizes that her disappearance may be connected to a string of unusual bank robberies.

Rourke witnesses a mysterious man manipulating innocent strangers into pulling off a bank robbery with nothing but a few muttered words.
