How to watch “Blink Twice” in Australia
Blink Twice will be shown in Australian cinemas from August 21st.
What is “blink twice”?
Blink Twice, co-written by Kravitz and ET Feigenbaum, takes us to a billionaire’s private island with waitress Frida. Frieda and her friend Jess unexpectedly find themselves part of tech mogul Slater King’s inner circle on a lavish vacation. Stunning sea views, delicious food, tropical drinks, and fun await, until things go wrong.
It’s easy to lose track of time during a tropical vacation, but it’s pretty rare to lose an entire person. So when Jess mysteriously disappears and none of the other guests remember her, Frida thinks something is seriously wrong here. Is it a “Most Dangerous Game” scenario, a riff on “The Island of Dr. Moreau” or something even stranger?

Naomi Ackie (Doctor Who) plays Frida. Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development) is Jess. Channing Tatum (well, Deadpool and Wolverine these days, but you know him) is Slater King.

Why we’re excited about Blink Twice
Following recent efforts in the “eat the rich” genre (Ready or Not, The Menu, Triangle of Sadness, etc.), Blink Twice appears to be making a big move in the billionaire class. . But the critical distance Kravitz, who was born wealthy (not exactly doing anything tough when your mom is an actor and your dad is a rock star), needed to really skewer the wealthy I don’t know yet if I have it. Still, it’s a great cast and early reviews are generally promising.
