Review of Twisted

Twisted (I) (2004)
Left me ready to walk out
29 February 2004
I was ready for a fun ride through a crime thriller. Within 5 minutes I was wondering whether the momentum and the pacing would pull this piece into something worth watching. Perhaps this would be a decent hour long TV movie, otherwise don't even. A sparsely populated theater and the audience sharing the plotlines before they happen? That coupled with some group laughs at dialog that was cliche, poorly delivered and empty. The "Where were you on the night of sept 25th?....I don't know, I don't know, I don't know!" was laugh out loud bad.

So how did this get ruined by such talented people? I am guessing a frustrating script eviseration with a studio that ruined what might once have been a readable screenplay. That and some weak editing/plot point choices, questionable continuity and a few 'huh?' casting choices. I wanted to like it. I should have liked it. It never even had a chance to fall apart as it was broken from the beginning.
