Overview

Recently promoted and transferred to the homicide division, Inspector Jessica Shepard 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, 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.

The outdated, cliche-riddled direction is so inept and indifferent that it's hard to believe Twisted was lensed by the same Philip Kaufman who made The Right Stuff.

Rex Reed, New York Observer
Rotten

A suspense thriller without thrills or suspense.

Jorge Morales, Village Voice
Rotten

Judd 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.

Charles Taylor, Salon.com
Rotten

This movie plays like they were reading [Roger Ebert's] little movie glossary and they took every cliche in there.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten

Gives new meaning to the word 'obvious.'

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
