Blink Twice

When tech billionaire Slater King meets cocktail waitress Frida at his fundraising gala, he invites her to join him and his friends on a dream vacation on his private island. But despite the epic setting, beautiful people, ever-flowing champagne, and late-night dance parties, Frida can sense that there’s something sinister hiding beneath the island’s lush façade.

This film is like stepping into a gilded cage… it looks beautiful, but when the doors slam shut behind you, you're trapped. (Naomi Ackle) Frida and her friend are invited to a luxurious island getaway by the enigmatic tech billionaire Slater King. As they immerse themselves in the island's opulence, they begin to realize that something isn't quite right. There's something about Channing Tatum's Slater that's both intriguing and unnerving. He's got this effortless charm that's like honey laced with poison…you know he’s trouble, but you can't stay away. The way he interacts with Frida is both fascinating and unsettling. The island setting is straight out of a luxury brochure, but it's also claustrophobic and menacing. Kravitz's direction expertly ratchets up the tension, making me feel like I'm right there with Frida, trying to piece together what's happening. It slowly builds unease, making you question everything… the characters, their motivations, even your own reactions. Naomi Ackie is phenomenal as Frida, bringing a perfect blend of vulnerability and determination to the role. If you're in the mood for a psychological thriller that'll keep you on the edge of your seat…this is it.

Great movie!

'Blink Twice' manages to create high intrigue, an unsettling tone and is very stylishly put together, eventually showcasing some thoroughly enjoyable and visually pleasing violence towards the end. Naomi Ackie and Channing Tatum are both terrific, Ackie is particularly top notch. Nice to see Geena Davis involved too, not seen her since the days of 'Stuart Little'! The rest of the cast are all good value, especially Adria Arjona.

I'd admit that it isn't the most unique picture, there are remnants of other productions scattered in there - 'Don't Worry Darling' for one, bit of 'Glass Onion' as well as basically any Jordan Peele flick. Still, I had a real fun time watching it all unfold on the big screen so I truly can't leave any complaints. Interested to see what Zoë Kravitz does next in the hot seat.

Ho. Ly. Shit.

Zoë Kravitz, I formally apologize for assuming this would be nothing more than a nepo baby vanity project. This was incredible. Gripping, horrifying, and extremely funny.

I was zoning out a little during the first act, but it eventually pulled me in and did not let go. (Not sure I loved the ending tag, but that's a small gripe.)

Blink Twice is bold, stylish, confident, efficient. It trusts you to pay attention without needing to over-explain. You won't want to blink twice—or once, for that matter—for fear of missing a single frame.

The entire cast is fantastic, though Adria Ajorna once again outshines everyone else on screen.

Am going to need Zoë Kravitz to make me some Spotify playlists please.

The entire "Ain't Nobody" sequence is flawless.

Like a sashay: it walks along a well-trod path but does so with style.

Imagine Get Out at the White Lotus and you have the basic idea of Blink Twice, but holy shit Zoë Kravitz does one hell of a job directing and bringing out all the savor of the tight writing.

An exciting debut. I'm dying to see where she goes next.

This one was a twisted ride. While it will likely be a big turn off to many people, if you are a fan of the genre its a worthy watch! Excited for when I can check it out again.

This is Channing Tatum’s best work of his entire career in my opinion. He really played the serious role well
