Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
DogFilmCritic I have to say this was quiet good but did not surceased my expectations, as I venture Asian cinema and discovering rear cinematic gems I stumble with some hit and miss, in the case of the great hypnotist I have to point out the good and the...average.The good You can tell there was a lot of effort placed in it as well some research on how hypnotism actually works, it's a cat and mouse game were both leads go back and forth trying to be one step ahead of the other and I have to say it's pretty good, the atmosphere is well played as both fill caged with the other.The averageThe camera style feels cheap and the effects are decent enough, the movie can be really slow with too much dialogue that wears you down you want some kind of action to happened to fill distracted and honestly it try's a bit to be smarter that it really is. In the end is a well made effort but not quiet there, a lot of the last act could easily been cut down but that's my opinion.
afverdugo i got the feeling that whoever thought of this idea saw Inception and thought: "what if, instead of dreams, it was hypnotism?" idk, just how it felt.regardless, it was a pretty good movie. great visuals and it kept up the mystery factor well. The acting was pretty good with plenty of tension between the two main characters. a simple set up turned into an intriguing plot with an interesting twist that i actually didn't fully realize until it happened.Overall, it was an interesting watch. 7 out of 10. maybe pair it with Inception and compare.
Aisha Khan Characters, dialogs and acts was wonderful. I impressed. Songs were so soft and so nice. You should watch this movie. I guarantee you won't regret. I started to watch and I couldn't stop myself from movie. I want to say a lot of things but nothing can tell you this movie is how much awesome. So I am suggest you. I will watch again and again because I want to see this scenario how great. China's cinemas and movies really can be good. I can admit it to you. When you watch this movie you will thank to actresses, to actors and to all staff. Now I started to interesting China movies. That people can made some good things and we will not know until watch their movies. My vote is 10 and thank you!
Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a psychiatrist who uses hypnosis to treat a very difficult case, which is a woman who believes that she can see ghosts.I heard good things about it, but I really did not expect "The Great Hypnotist"to be this good. To begin with, the topic of hypnosis is quite mysterious, which is a good setting for a thriller. The plot is engaging and suspenseful, especially the very unexpected twist happening in the middle. This twist doesn't feel contrived. Even though in retrospect there are telltale signs of the trust in the being, I just did not expect the twist coming. I'm very impressed by the plot. I very much enjoyed watching "The Great Hypnotist", as it's an unexpectedly good thriller.
