Things take a dark and surprisingly violent turn quickly in Blink Twice, and you almost have to blink twice to catch up. Indeed, there’s a trigger warning at the beginning of the film so audiences know about a particularly explicit sexual assault scene.
I spent the last half of the film waiting for the usual wrap-up of films like these — the good guys lose and the bad guys win and you hope you never get caught on this island.
Kravitz, however, takes that trope and flips it on its head in the most interesting and alarming ways. And again Tatum comes through as a genuine psychopath. In one particular scene he loses his calm entirely, and I was just waiting for him to start slapping himself in the head.
There really is no other role he’s had to compare this one to. He’s either playing a goofball, like in 21 Jump Street, or taking himself too seriously, like in Fly Me to the Moon or Magic Mike.
