“Blink Twice” is one of those Big Twist movies that are hard to talk about without spoiling the surprise. Naomi Ackie and Alia Shawkat play Frida and Jess, catering waitresses who get invited to join a billionaire (Channing Tatum) on his private island. The getaway is like a dream until strange inconsistencies start to make the girls question what is really going on.
The film marks the directorial debut of actress Zoe Kravitz, who was so good in the 2020 re-boot of “High Fidelity.” She co-wrote the script with “High Fidelity” writer E.T. Feigenbaum. I have to say, as good an actress as Kravitz is (Check her out in “Kimi”!), she is an outstanding director. She maintains an impressive level of suspense, creating a nightmare on a beautiful island, and makes good use of an outstanding cast, including Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, and the gorgeous Adria Arjona (“Hit Man”). At the risk of spoilers, I won't say anything more, except that this is a top-notch directorial debut. Check it out!
4 stars out of 5
