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... 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 psychological thriller directed by Philip Kaufman (THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING, QUILLS). Jessica, a San Francisco street cop, has been appointed detective by Police Commissioner John Mills (Samuel L. Jackson), her surrogate father and mentor. Together with her new partner Mike Delmarco (Andy Garcia), she goes after her first assignment, a murder, and is ready for anything until she realizes that the corpse is a man she once slept with. What seems like a bizarre coincidence becomes all too suspicious when the next murder victim is also an acquaintance of the police detective--who is also a blackout drinker with an appetite for anonymous, rough sex. Nightly she returns home, drinks a glass of red wine, and awakens to the news of another victim. Haunted by her own family tragedy (her father went on an insane killing spree and killed her own mother and himself), Jessica begins to doubt her own sanity and suspect herself to be the killer.

Sarah Thorp’s script is twisted in all the wrong ways.

An awfully tedious thriller that makes great waste of the talent involved Twisted is awkward, predictable, convoluted and terribly implausible.

What the hell was Ashley Judd thinking? I’ve seen better at 3 A.M. on Cinemax.

Ashley Judd seems to go out of her way to find hole-riddled women-in-peril B-thrillers. It's as if she's doing everything in her power not to be taken seriously as an actress.

The only way you could stuff one more movie cop cliché into Twisted would be with a shoehorn and a sledgehammer.

A standard police tale evoking the usual unintentional laughs from the audience.

Ashley Judd and her A-list cast can’t rise above the hackneyed and clichéd dialogue and conventional climax.

Top contender for worst script of the year ... [a] mysteryless mystery and [a] thrillerless thriller.

A pretty lousy movie, which would be offensive were it not safely neutered by its own stupidity.

Characters get distorted and motivations warped in this police thriller in order to keep bodies piling up and clues pointing in all directions.
