Post Strike Cinema 24' - Blink Twice

Blink Twice is the directorial debut by legend,  Zoë Kravitz. Starring an all-star, multi-generational cast. Featuring Naomi Ackie, Channing Tatum, Christian Slater, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Kyle MacLachlan, Geena Davis, and Alia Shawkat. Yes the return of Geen Davis!

Simon Rex also has some very racy videos from back in the day. If you know, you know.

Blink Twice has already received generally positive reviews from critics. But what's this very fresh looking film all about? A cocktail waitress becomes infatuated with a billionaire tech mogul and travels with him to his private island for a luxurious party, where things begin to go wrong after her friend vanishes. Does this sound a little like Jeffrey Epstein's island?

Maybe.


So is this film with a wild idea, interesting soundtrack any good? Absolutely. This for me, could be one of the best films of 2024.

Zoë Kravitz is a legend usually in front of the camera, this time she has done a stellar job behind it. I really enjoyed this film. Its run time was tight, the suspense was real. The cast, incredible.

I don't want to give too much away. As if I tell you some of the plot points, it ruins the whole damn thing!

Blink Twice was a classy, modern thriller. Well done.

4 Stars. This was worth a trip to the movies at the end of this warm AF end to winter.
