- The conclusion feels rushed, soft and unpersuasive. Affleck gets the job done with stoical focus and a heavy pall of sorrow. But even beyond the understandably burdened nature of a man broken by loss, there’s a torpid quality to his performance, though he’s less lethargic than in snoozes like Live by Night or Deep Water.

As the daughter of two Hypnotics, her ability to control the minds of others is even greater than Rourke's and Diana's, and as Hypnotic's ending reveals, superior to Dellrayne's as well.
