‘Blink Twice’ Review: Zoë Kravitz Proves She’s a Total Filmmaker in a #MeToo-Meets-‘Midsommar’ Thriller Starring a Sinister Channing Tatum
In a #MeToo-meets-'Midsommar' thriller, Naomi Ackie plays a waitress who gets invited to a tech billionaire's private island. So what's the catch?
Against a tropical paradise setting, the fancy drinks keep flowing; the psychedelic drugs keep getting passed out; the foodie dinners keep getting served; and the accommodations (exotic perfume, zillion-thread-count sheets, complimentary clothing) are out of some ultimate dream resort. The film seems to pivot around the idea that Slater, the mogul Prince Charming, has fallen for her; when we see the wary interplay between her and Sarah (Adria Arjona), the long-time star of a “Survivor” reality show, we think the rivalry between them is going to drive the story. The men seem arrogant without being excessively creepy, from Christian Slater’s executive bigwig to Lucas the stringbean tech wizard (Levon Hawke)) to Tom the cuddly geek (Haley Joel Osment) to Cody the chef, played by Simon Rex as an unctuous New Age food guru.
