Ricci is convincingly terrified in a film that's never scary enough to justify her performance.

Thanks to Ricci's excellent performance as Lauren and Cusack's balanced supporting role, Disjointed will certainly find favour with fans of classic Canadian cult offerings.

Rated: 7/10

Eye for Film

[Christina] Ricci is impressive, however, working hard with what she's got to create a character we can believe in even when what's happening to and around her stretches credulity.

Rated: 2.5/5

Film Inquiry

Distorted leaves viewers with a disjointed, unoriginal story, a made-for-TV feel, and underwhelming thrills, with the only saving graces being the presence of Ricci and Cusack.

Movies in Focus

A frustratingly terrible paranoia thriller, Distorted manages to waste a potentially intriguing premise and the star power of Christina Ricci and John Cusack.

Rated: 1/5

"Distorted" plays one too many tricks, and its casting is abysmal.

This had potential. It had a good cast, the plot was pretty original and interesting...but it was stupid. The characters were empty and hollow, the storyline was disjointed and didn't make sense, the ending also didn't make any sense whatsoever. Couple of hours of my life I'm not getting back.

While there are some solid performances and suspenseful set pieces but it’s an very standard B movie thriller

This was an absolutely horrible movie. I like Ricci and Cusak but this was a real stinker. The cartoon like drawing of the apartment building was a joke. Cusak's character was trying way too hard to be mysterious but it didn't work. And everything about Ricci's character was cliche. Nothing redeeming about this effort. I want my hour and 26 minutes back

Diferente, es lenta y va por el lado de las "conspiraciones/la protagonista esta loca" cosa que si no te atrapa desde el principio se puede hacer insufrible. Aunque la historia sea mas o menos la escenografía y la actuación de Christina Ricci la hacen bastante zafable.
