9. Hypnotic (2023)
Rodriguez’s latest film ranks here, in the middle of the pack, and we’ll tell you why. The idea is super strong—that there are people who can manipulate the minds of others—and the places the film goes are truly wild. What the movie starts as and what the movie ends as are two very different things. So it’s a fun ride. But for the most part, while the plot is great, the movie is very flat. Very un-Rodriguez. So while it’s worth watching, it’s not quite up to his high standards.
