Consensus: An implausible, overheated potboiler that squanders a stellar cast, Twisted is a clichéd, risible whodunit.
Theatrical Release:09-07-2004
Synopsis: Against the moody, fog-laden backdrop of the San Francisco waterfront, police detective Jessica Shephard (Ashley Judd) becomes embroiled in a darkly personal hunt for a serial killer in this... [More]
Starring: Ashley Judd, Samuel L. Jackson, Andy Garcia, David Strathairn
Director: Philip Kaufman
Sarah Thorpe’s screenplay is a compendium of by-the-book clichés; Kaufman’s direction leaves the material stranded in a limbo between po-faced and trashy; Judd’s approximation of drunkenness is worrying to behold.
Top CriticRemember kids, alcohol is bad, mmm-kay?
The movie may dole out a few guilty pleasures, but you won’t believe a word of it.
Top CriticThe only surprise in this supposedly tricky thriller is that the script attracted this cast and director.
At least the performances are solid.
Judd, Samuel L. Jackson, Andy Garcia and David Strathairn all are wasted.
This thriller seems most interested in lingering over battered and bloodied male faces.
Top CriticOvercooked dialogue, some wildly implausible story devices, and a dearth of remotely likable characters, and Twisted is a crime story that just doesn't pay.
Twisted is so bad I'm embarrassed to have seen it and therefore am a bit ashamed to write even an unkind review.
Just like nearly all of Judd's past entries in the genre, this film isn't great, it's just average.
The plot turns are increasingly preposterous, as are the metaphors.
Judd, Jackson and Garcia's work is pedestrian at best. But they did accept this script.
I didn’t go to sleep and only looked at my watch a couple of times, so I guess it wasn’t terrible.
Una de esas película que sin el cast que tiene pasaría sin pena ni gloria al olvido.
Sou contra a pena de morte, mas teria o maior prazer em ajudar a prender a protagonista deste filme na cadeira elétrica e dar o comando 'Roll on two!'.

Top CriticTwisted dies at almost the very moment it begins.
It is sad to see an actress as talented as Ashley Judd repeatedly appearing in these women-in-distress movies.
"Twisted" is a train wreck, with Ashley Judd stuck in the caboose.
A horrible waste of talent, time and money and has the potential to be one of the worst films 2004 has to offer.
