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.

Critics Consensus

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

Well, it's been a couple of years recently since I've heard of a film called Twisted and when I thought about it, I decided to give it a try after I looked at the reviews and it is panned as f**k. I mean, surely I wouldn't expected it to be that crap. So I watched it and I found it to be okay. This year today I watched it and I found it to be very mediocre thought that the story is terrible and the acting is phoned in especially from Ashley Judd and that includes the editing and the filmmakers doesn't seem to be bothered to cut them out and thinking that they're funny. To be fair, Twisted is not a good film to me extent however it is okay. I remember the time when me and my brother been watching it and we were just watching it in silence. Wow. If you're thinking that this is the movie, Twisted, might be for you and you didn't think it was half bad like me and when you're watched it recently, you're just like "Why am I watching this piece of s£!t!"

The movie was a good entertaining movie. Despite the negative criticism, it was good enough for me. Great cast, decent story. No, it's not a great movie. But for escapism, it was fine.

A totally farfetched and gritty thriller, reminiscent of this era, that did not age particularly well. The plot kept getting more and more ridiculous, but this still absolutely held my attention even though the conclusion was predictable. Samuel L. Jackson Binge: SLJ's character was important to this film, as the head of a police unit and as an adopted father figure to the protagonist, Ashley Judd's character. *SLJ #14

It's sad to see the director of The Right Stuff and The Unbearable Lightness of Being reduced to this.

This thriller seems most interested in lingering over battered and bloodied male faces.
