Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

liamforeman The main problem I had with this is that the real killer was somewhat obvious from the beginning. Also, it was DEFINITELY obvious by the halfway mark because you know the cast of actors and you're just wondering why the REAL star hasn't had much screen time and when we find out he did by trying to act up a flourish it was like DUH! Other things... I like Ashley Judd, but in this she somehow is elevated to investigator although she has an obvious alcohol problem and looks hung over a lot at work. None of her coworkers or her boss didn't notice? I could deal with her having so many one night stands, but when they turn up murdered, isn't she supposed to be a detective? And if she was concerned she was the killer, WHY would she tell everyone on the force after one lover after another of hers showed up dead?!?! You'd think she'd keep her mouth shut! Also, I mentioned her alcohol problem above, but she seemingly goes into a blackout every time a murder occurs. If you were her don't you think you'd go a little easy on the red wine until the end of the investigation? And, I'm a pretty accomplished drinker, and I know what's enough to buzz me, to get me drunk, and I've only blacked out a couple of times. You think she wouldn't figure out that something was UP with that wine???? Sheesh. So the idea that she was being drugged didn't really occur to me because if I had a few glasses of wine or an entire bottle or two and blacked out I'd still know something was wrong because you know how much does what to your system. So I just assumed that she WAS drinking enough to black out.Andy Garcia has really gotten puffy. I remembered him as being really attractive at one point.In all, it isn't awful, and if you like thrillers and whodunit's it is somewhat watchable. I made it through to the end. Just know that you probably had it figured out just from the cast list from the beginning.

Desertman84 Twisted is a thriller film that stars Ashley Judd,plays a San Francisco homicide detective who is her own prime suspect in an ongoing serial murder case, in which all of the victims are men she recently slept with. Samuel L. Jackson and Andy García co-stars. It was written by Sarah Thorp and directed by Philip Kaufman.Having solved a high profile case involving a serial killer, Jessica Shepard is a rising officer in the San Francisco Police Department. She is transferred to the Homicide division and promoted to the rank of Inspector Also,she works under the jurisdiction of the man who raised her as his daughter, police Commissioner Mills. While investigating a serial murder case, Jessica discovers that all of the victims are men whom she's recently been in bed with. Complicating matters are her bitter ex-boyfriend, her very curious therapist and her odd-behaving new partner Mike Delmarco.Three more murders follow, all of whom have had relationships with her.Then,she begins to experience a mental breakdown, blacking out for increasingly long periods of time. Her father, a police patrolman, had gone on a killing spree back in the 1970's and then murdered her mother. She begins to fear that she has the same violent tendencies and that she has been committing murder in her disorganized state.Twisted has a preposterous screenplay, and with no apparent interest in the proceedings.Worse,Kaufman allows Judd to look silly, Garcia to overact, and the whole movie to unfold in murky darkness and dimly lit rooms.It is a movie only a screenplay, and with no apparent interest in the proceedings, director Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff) allows Judd to look silly, Garcia to overact, and the whole movie to unfold in murky darkness and dimly lit rooms.It is a thriller only a misogynist could love since it was formulaic and clichéd at best.

BA_Harrison As the opening credits appear on-screen, viewers are greeted by some beautifully captured images of San Francisco in the morning: the Golden Gate bridge shrouded in cloud, pelicans soaring past the cityscape, boats chugging lazily along the river. It's easily the best part of the film.The rest of the movie is tired neo-noir/erotic thriller, a desperate attempt to outdo the likes of Sea of Love and Basic Instinct that suffers from a predictable, suspense-free and extremely flawed script, dreadful central performances from Ashley Judd and Andy Garcia, and a wasted appearance by Samuel L. Jackson.Judd plays feisty, emotionally troubled cop Jessica Shepard, whose new position as an inspector in homicide doesn't get off to the best of starts when she becomes implicated in a series of murders, having shagged the victims not long before they were killed. Shepard is quite possibly one of the most unlikable characters I have ever seen in a thriller, an alcoholic nymphomaniac floozy with a short temper who might possibly be sexy if it wasn't for her pudgy face, horrible bull-dyke hairstyle, and loathsome personality.One can usually rely on Jackson to put in a decent performance, but here he is running on empty, clearly struggling to make anything of his embarrassingly clichéd character, while Garcia once again comes across like cut-price Pacino who has eaten a few too many donuts.

GManfred Did you see my headline? Right away this movie lost me. Ashley Judd doesn't look like she could break a pane of glass, but lately movie makers try, ever since G.I Jane, to make women in movies appear as mean S.O.B's. Can't tell you what a turn off that is, especially with women who don't look as though they could break the proverbial p.o.g.That said, this movie is essentially a murder mystery and on that level it succeeds. The killer is unknown until the last scene in the picture, and that's what a murder mystery is all about. Andy Garcia and Samuel L. Jackson are both good in support of Judd, who is so slight of build she could use some support lest she blow away. This picture was also a little heavy on psychiatric baloney and goes off on tangents at times, but, sticking to cases, it is a good mystery.Let's review; Good murder mystery, laughable macho female lead, annoying mental crap. The result is a rating of 6 - this picture is better than the IMDb low rating if you can fight your way through the underbrush.
