Twisted

Pros: Ashley Judd, Samuel L. Jackson, Andy Garcia.
Cons: Predictable. Not much action.

After working a lot of hours since the beginning of the year, things have started to slow back down at work for me. I am getting some time to go to movies and read again. I was able to go see Twisted on it’s opening weekend. The movie ...

Pros: cinematography
Cons: everything else

Big names in the movie industry are used as a way of drawing people to a film. There are times that I look at a list of actors in a film and think that it must be good because of the star power and a general level of respect for the projects those ...

Pros: Cinematography by the ever-dependable Deming.
Cons: Just about everything else.

Never quite making up its mind whether it's a psychological drama or psychological thriller, the Philip Kaufman-directed Twisted winds up traveling a middling road to mediocrity. What we have is Ashley Judd (still trying to recapture the fire of ...

Pros: Some suspense, Ashley Judd is cute.
Cons: Well, that's why I'm here!

Prime example of why you should never let yourself be swayed by big names, big budgets or big trailers. Twisted is a murder mystery that is so by-the-numbers that it's like counting sheep. To this day I can't say I've ever known a Jessica that ...

Pros: Cinematography, direction, tough heroine, Samuel L. Jackson
Cons: Writing, unsuspenseful, boring, slow-moving, tacked-on ending, lackluster performances

When I first heard of the movie Twisted, I couldn’t wait to see it. Samuel L. Jackson is one of my absolute favourite actors, and the commercials made it seem like he was the star. Although I am not a big fan of Ashley Judd or Andy Garcia, I ...

Pros: Camryn Manheim
Cons: Entirely transparent, silly, casting issues

The serial killer film is perhaps the trickiest of all films to get right. A comedy doesn’t have to be gut-bustingly hilarious all the way through in order to work ( “The Blues Brothers” , for instance, also functions as a musical), and a horror ...

Pros: Moments of Samuel L. Jackson's performance, Ultimate resolution
Cons: Acting, Characters, Most of the plot, Neatness of all the pieces coming together

When I sat down recently to watch the thriller "Red Eye" (reviewed at: h ttp://www.epinions.com/content _341938114180 ), I was marginally excited about the movie because of the presence of actor Cillian Murphy. When I ...

Pros: Give me me a minute.
Cons: A lame mystery that even butchers the talking killer cliche

How bad is the newest Ashley Judd thriller "Twisted?" Twisted is so bad, it even butchers the talking killer cliche. During this sequence my buddy turned to me and asked.... "What's the motive?" I digress... Twisted has more problems ...

Pros: Good cast, big production values, and a high profile director
Cons: Cliched script, unconvincing scenes, and slumming performers

"Twisted" isn't anything exceptional. You've seen it all before. It's a murder mystery in which the murder(s) orchestrated, all point fingers at the protagonist. It's the protagonist who must make things right by trying to prove those wrong. Things look ...

Pros: None.
Cons: Very lacking as far as action and suspense is concerned.

Last week, I went to see this movie and I was just disappointed. Because this is suppose to be a thriller with some action, this movie lacked any whatsoever. I like Ashley Judd, but I think she and the cast could have done alot better, had the movie ...

Pros: Good acting, plot, and director
Cons: Explicit pictures of violence, foul language, sex

Ashley Judd plays newly promoted police inspector Jessica Shepard, Samuel L. Jackson is her foster father, and Andy Garcia plays her new partner. She has significant personal problems, not the least of which is that men she knew are being murdered in a ...

Pros: Good Premise and cast
Cons: Bad plot, pacing, and no tension.

For newly promoted Homicide Detective Jessica Shepard (Ashley Judd), life is about to take an unexpected twist that will leave the most private aspects of her life on display and her very sanity questioned. Sheppard has just been promoted to ...

Pros: A bit entertaining
Cons: Weak Plot

If you like thrillers, then this one is okay but it is a tired thriller wannabe that has wa7 too much talk about serial killers and way too many dream sequences that go nowhere. I had guessed the ending very early in the movie. Something was off with ...

Pros: Great Cast
Cons: Not enough men she slept with

If your into suspense, this is the flick for you. This movie is about a woman (Ashley Judd) who gets promoted on the police force to the homicide division. Although her work life went up a notch, her personal life is on the verge of suspicion. The men she fuked are turning up dead one after the other. What a coincidence. Her passion for lust and Sangria Wine leads to Blackouts each night a man turns up dead. Was it the wine, or was it another influence. The suspicion hurts doesn't it. I enjoyed Twisted because it wasn't suppose to be one of those big time flicks that everybody has to talk about. I would rent it again.
