Twisted (2004) was another movie that was justly panned and forgotten by the critics and the viewing public. Why are films like this and BASIC are even green lighted for release. When I found out Phillip Kaufman directed this mess I was deeply disappointed with the man. He needs to redeem his good name. But I'm afraid the damage that this movie did to his reputation is damaged beyond repair.
The usual story about a cop who has a dark past and there coming to accept facts that they can never change it. Filled with several plot twists (covering up the lame story line). I can't still understand for the life of me why Phillip Kaufman was pleased with this wanna be film noir. When he was interviewed on the D.V.D. features he bragged about how great this movie was. The man should be sent out to pasture with the other once great directors. Maybe he should just cash it in. We'll always have his older films to fall back on.
Not recommended at all.
