Blink Twice, 2024, directed by Zoe Kravitz, streamed on Prime Video, 2 stars.
It's difficult for me to express how much I despised this movie for the first 75 minutes or so of its 102-minute runtime. I found no joy whatsoever in watching a debauched gazillionaire tech bro and his hangers-on stranding a group of women on a private island for a substance-filled, brutal raping good time.
I don't care how dazzling the movie looked. I don't care that people like Christian Slater and Kyle MacLachlan and Geena Davis whom I generally love watching are along for the fun. I only cared that the longer this movie went on and the slower the pacing got, I was in active hate mode for this piece of crap.
My extreme displeasure eased up a bit during the predictable but somewhat satisfyingly revengeful third act. The final scene that was supposed to be a clever twist was really bad, but the resolution of this horrible story was enough to keep me from thinking of Blink Twice as a total disaster.
I think I'm done with Amazon Studios crap. They write intriguing teaser blurbs, but the movies seem to always be -- ahem -- underwhelming.
