Yikes but this is riddled with flaws. "Frida" (Naomi Ackie) and her pal "Jess" (Alia Shawkat) are working for the caterers at a grand party hosted by gazillionaire "Slater" (Channing Tatum).

Great movie! <em>'Blink Twice'</em> 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 <em>'Stuart Little'</em>! 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 - <em>'Don't Worry Dar…

Zoë Kravitz's BLINK TWICE is a startling thriller, but that’s just the sheep’s clothing around this dark moral exposé. The real wolf is the urgent assault story lying underneath. It’s a stinging and significant shock that rubs salt into an open wound (and slaps awake the ‘not ALL men!’ crowd). So how does Blink Twice explore sexual assault? What does it have to say about money and power? And is THAT rumour about its original title ACTUALLY true?
