M MALIK seriously paramount studios have lost it i know this film is old but i am quite mad with it so i decided to give it a review i watch a lot of films but i don't review each one this one made me mad i love Ashley Judd she is amazing but this film is nonsense and who gave her that hairstyle it was awful,she looks better in long hair.the makers couldn't get Angelina Joile for the part so they got Ashley for it,she looked out of shape and was not feeling interested in this project at all.the cast includes Samuel l Jackson & Andy Garcia now here comes the stupid plot of this film with some useless twist in the end.story is about a female cop who gets in trouble as people around he getting killed,everyone believes she did it because she is a drug addict but it is revealed that someone else is doing these murders and she is getting framed.climax of this film is a complete turn off it would have been amazing if Jessica was doing murders but no they just had to make Samuel Jackson a bad guy here and what did Andy Garcia do absolutely nothing besides shouting.twisted 2004 is a long,boring film all great actors get wasted here the script sucks it was more like for a late nights made for TV B movie somehow ended up mainstream.fans of Ashley Judd please avoid this garbage and save yourself from the torture my rating is 2/10:Skipp It

Davis P This film did sport an A list cast including Ashley Judd (Double Jeopardy), Andy Garcia, and Samual L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction). Judd plays inspector Shepherd, who has just recently been promoted to homicide, and Jackson plays the man that raised her, because her parents were killed when she was young. Andy Garcia is her new partner. I was not a big fan of Andy Garcia in this film, I thought he over acted in many scenes, and it looked fake and cheep, also Judd and Garcia didn't have any on screen chemistry at all. I thought Ashley did a good job on screen, I just think Garcia's character would've better played by another actor. Jackson did a great job with his role, I think he was perfectly cast. The dialogue was okay, not great, and the action scenes were constructed pretty well. I liked how Judd's character kept flashing back to the night she has sex with the victims, and wondering if she might be responsible. There were some parts in the middle I felt sorta dragged on a bit. I think the twist ending was pretty clever, it wasn't like completely life altering, but it sufficed. I liked how this film showed some sex between Judd and the victims, but not too much, the sex wasn't too graphic, and only had a single shot of nudity from the back of a male. Also, the violence and gore wasn't graphic either. 4/10 overall.

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.

Jonathon Dabell Twisted is yet another in a long and overly familiar line of whodunnits featuring a cop with issues being framed for some killings. This plot is fast becoming Hollywood's most unoriginal and over-used cliché. With a strong cast and a reliable director at the helm (Philip Kaufman is the director behind movies like The Unbearable Lightness Of Being and Quills), I at least expected some new angles. You'd think Kaufman of all people would try to eschew the usual predictable plot developments… but no! What we have here is a thriller as unoriginal, cliché-ridden and thoroughly routine as can be.Ace San Francisco lady cop Jessica Shepard (Ashley Judd) is promoted to the homicide department and paired with a new partner, Mike Delmarco (Andy Garcia). Life should be rosy… except that Jessica has a troubled past. Her father – also a cop – cracked up many years previously and went on a killing spree, eventually taking his own life but not before murdering her mother. Jessica is battling with serious alcohol addiction, and is under therapy with Dr. Frank (David Strathairn) to help her deal with deep-rooted psychological fears. She also has her protector and mentor John Mills (Samuel L. Jackson) to keep her on the straight and narrow – he was her father's old police partner, and is now Commissioner of Police. Things start getting awkward for Jessica when a series of corpses turn up around San Francisco. Each new victim is one of Jessica's ex-lovers, and it isn't long before her own colleagues begin to suspect that she may be involved in the killings – maybe even that she is the murderer. As the corpses mount, Jessica herself fears that she may not be innocent. She must control her fragile emotional state long enough to solve the killings… The only enjoyment to be had from the film is in guessing the identity of the true killer. There's certainly little else to get excited about. The script is dull and pedestrian, the actors look generally bored, the film is shot with little visual panache and has the look of an inflated TV movie. Much of the dialogue is laughable, and even the San Francisco setting isn't used to any great effect (if you're watching this because you like 'Frisco you'd be better sticking with Bullitt or Dirty Harry!) The eventual solution when it comes is guessable in spite of the various red herrings, but as grand denouements go it is also rather unconvincing and improbable. Overall, it is hard to believe that so much talent was ever attracted to this project. The director and the actors surely suspected from early on that they were onto a turkey?!? If you're addicted to the whole "troubled-cop-being-framed" sub-genre you might want to check it out, but others should beware. You can definitely find better things to do with your time!
