Ashley Judd sex-psycho-thriller isn't great, but you can easily appreciate how good it is.

Reviews for Twisted
The best film in recent memory shot in San Francisco by a director who actually lives here and knows the lay of the land.

This thriller seems most interested in lingering over battered and bloodied male faces.
01/05/07
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.
02/09/06
Paltry and stupefyingly poor excuse for a thriller.
02/26/04
The greatest mystery in this nonsensical thriller is why Philip Kaufman, a first-rate director, lent his talents to such a mediocre piece of studio hackwork.

Top CriticUna de esas película que sin el cast que tiene pasaría sin pena ni gloria al olvido.
06/15/04
An awfully tedious thriller that makes great waste of the talent involved Twisted is awkward, predictable, convoluted and terribly implausible.
02/26/04
A nasty, formulaic and unforgivably obvious procedural.
02/27/04
The movie may dole out a few guilty pleasures, but you won’t believe a word of it.
07/09/04
A run-of-the-mill thriller that will fade from memory as quickly as poor Jessica's boyfriends are getting bumped off
02/26/04
'Twisted,' a psychological thriller with little psychology and fewer thrills, is almost worth watching because of its trio of charismatic stars.
02/28/04
Just like nearly all of Judd's past entries in the genre, this film isn't great, it's just average.
06/26/05
It entertains much like an easy crossword puzzle. You feel smart for figuring it out, then realize it wasn't all that tough.

Top CriticWhat happens when you combine good actors, a talented director and an awful script? Twisted answers that question so quickly it could have been made as a kind of negative case study for film students.
02/26/04
Top CriticTwisted dies at almost the very moment it begins.
04/24/04
There’s lots to like about it, but none of this ultimately matters when you come out of the movie feeling cheated.
03/03/04
Hard-hitting police thrillers need a smidgen of authenticity, but Sarah Thorp's script is riddled with implausible events, inconsistent characters and head-scratching twists that don't add up.
02/26/04
Top CriticJudd is let down by Twisted because tearful, confused victim doesn't come naturally to her; she's not fun to watch suffer if you can't see her calculating the payback.
