Zoe Kravitz is well-known on screen for in projects like Big Little Lies, The Batman, and the Divergent movies. She has a strong directorial debut on her hands with Blink Twice. Kravitz casts a dizzying spell on her audience with this audacious story of revenge that seems ripped from the headlines. Naomi Ackie and Alia Shawkat play Frida and Jess, besties and roommates who work as cocktail waitresses for a catering company. They’re working a benefit dinner for The Slater King Foundation. Channing Tatum plays Slater King who we learn is a big tech giant and CEO who had to step down from his position after abuse of power. He’s moved to a new island and claims he’s changed and doing better. He takes notice of Frida and Jess and invites them to spend the weekend on his island. They agree and can’t believe they’ve been asked to spend the weekend with a small group of Slater’s friends on this lush, gorgeous compound. No cell phones are allowed as any type of debauchery, sex, and drugs will be kept a secret. It’s not long before Frida realizes something feels off and oddly familiar with this island. In theaters
