Critics Consensus

An implausible, overheated potboiler that squanders a stellar cast, Twisted is a clichéd, risible whodunit.

David Ansen Newsweek It's sad to see the director of The Right Stuff and The Unbearable Lightness of Being reduced to this. Mar 13, 2018 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Numbingly predictable, inept, and boring. Rated: 1/5 Dec 29, 2010 Full Review Chicago Reader This thriller seems most interested in lingering over battered and bloodied male faces. Jan 5, 2007 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews I immensely enjoyed it as a psychologically pulsating underrated film noir.

Ronald H This one has to go on the Top 20 Worst Movies of All Time list Not because it isn't well directed----we're all familiar with Philip Kaufman's sterling resume, although he got involved in a loser like this is a mystery. The acting is also generally good, in spite of some very bad dialogue. The problem here is the screenplay, which is not only riddled with cliches and way off the plausibility meter, but it's also just plain stupid. The final act in this film is the most ridiculous, forehead-slapping thing imaginable. I definitely recommend this one for a "bad movie" experience. You can learn a lot from bad movies, and Twisted is a virtual encyclopedia of badness. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Gregory T I struggled to keep my focus throughout this fairly forgettable film, but the cast kept me invested until the end. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Bumble B The only reason this movie lasts so long is because the main character Jess (played by Ashley Judd), is ASTRONOMICALLY stupid. The bar scene at the start that shows off how smart she is is POINTLESS if for the rest of the movie, she's going to as dumb as bricks and twice as thick. She got promoted to inspector, there's a scene that showcases her smarts and she can't tell that she's being drugged? She's used to drinking so she must know her limit and you're telling me her passing out every night after her one cup of wine wasn't enough for her to connect the dots and be like 'well, hang on, everytime I drink at home I get woozy and pass out...oh well, *glug, glug, glug.*' Rubbish. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review angela g i dont know why this movie gets so much hate i like this movie the acting was good the twist was good great movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review Jack O Well, it's been a couple of years recently since I've heard of a film called Twisted and when I thought about it, I decided to give it a try after I looked at the reviews and it is panned as f**k. I mean, surely I wouldn't expected it to be that crap. So I watched it and I found it to be okay. This year today I watched it and I found it to be very mediocre thought that the story is terrible and the acting is phoned in especially from Ashley Judd and that includes the editing and the filmmakers doesn't seem to be bothered to cut them out and thinking that they're funny. To be fair, Twisted is not a good film to me extent however it is okay. I remember the time when me and my brother been watching it and we were just watching it in silence. Wow. If you're thinking that this is the movie, Twisted, might be for you and you didn't think it was half bad like me and when you're watched it recently, you're just like "Why am I watching this piece of s£!t!" Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/23 Full Review steve d The strong cast can do nothing with this dull script. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis Recently promoted and transferred to the homicide division, Inspector Jessica Shepard (Ashley Judd) feels pressure to prove herself -- and what better way than by solving San Francisco's latest murder? However, as Shepard and her partner, Mike Delmarco (Andy Garcia), soon discover, the victim shared a romantic connection to her. As more of Shepard's ex-lovers turn up dead, her mind starts to become unstable, and she begins to wonder if she could be the very killer she's trying to track down.
