Recently promoted and transferred to the homicide division, Inspector Jessica Shepard (Ashley Judd) feels pressure to prove herself -- and what better way than by solving San Francisco's latest murder? However, as Shepard and her partner, Mike Delmarco (Andy Garcia), soon discover, the victim shared a romantic connection to her. As more of Shepard's ex-lovers turn up dead, her mind starts to become unstable, and she begins to wonder if she could be the very killer she's trying to track down.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

An implausible, overheated potboiler that squanders a stellar cast, Twisted is a clichéd, risible whodunit.

David Ansen Newsweek It's sad to see the director of The Right Stuff and The Unbearable Lightness of Being reduced to this. Mar 13, 2018 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Numbingly predictable, inept, and boring. Rated: 1/5 Dec 29, 2010 Full Review Chicago Reader This thriller seems most interested in lingering over battered and bloodied male faces. Jan 5, 2007 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews I immensely enjoyed it as a psychologically pulsating underrated film noir. Rated: B+ Aug 29, 2022 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: D Mar 5, 2013 Full Review Urban Cinefile Critics Urban Cinefile At least the performances are solid.

mark g I know what you're thinking, 2% fresh? No film is that bad. Well, this one actually is. Someone mentioned it's so bad that it's funny. Nah, just crap. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/25 Full Review Julian S. It’s kind of a train wreck, but everyone’s so serious about it that it accidentally turns into camp. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/07/25 Full Review D P I did see the ending coming. Didn't really stand the test of time. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review Jolin S It was entertaining. Enjoyed watching it but it will make my collection unless I get it free of cost. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review Ronald H This one has to go on the Top 20 Worst Movies of All Time list Not because it isn't well directed----we're all familiar with Philip Kaufman's sterling resume, although he got involved in a loser like this is a mystery. The acting is also generally good, in spite of some very bad dialogue. The problem here is the screenplay, which is not only riddled with cliches and way off the plausibility meter, but it's also just plain stupid. The final act in this film is the most ridiculous, forehead-slapping thing imaginable. I definitely recommend this one for a "bad movie" experience. You can learn a lot from bad movies, and Twisted is a virtual encyclopedia of badness. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Gregory T I struggled to keep my focus throughout this fairly forgettable film, but the cast kept me invested until the end.
