Twisted (Special Collector's Edition) [DVD]

There is a serial killer at large in San Francisco. Ashley Judd (very good) acts as the police inspector who hunts the murderer. But things get twisted when not only her partner (Andy Garcia - always a feast for the eyes) and her boss (Samuel L. Jackson - always brilliant) but in the end also she herself suspect that she could be the killer since she has blackouts whenever a killing occurs ...

Arrived in great condition

This 2003 suspense thriller features Jessica Shepard (Ashley Judd) attending a celebratory party due to her promotion to the rank of inspector and transfer to the homicide department. We are thus introduced to various characters including John Mills [Samuel L Jackson] as her mentor after the death of her father, Jimmy Schmidt [Mark Pellegrino] as her ex lover and a secretive stranger at the bar. After leaving the party she heads to a bar where she picks up a stranger. At work she attends her first homicide with her new partner Mike Delmarco (Andy García) and it transpires the deceased is a former one-night stand of hers. As the bodies of her ex lovers pile up she soon falls under suspicion, especially from one of her new colleagues. Her drinking problem grows and she begins to black out for increasingly long periods, doubting her own sanity. Is she the killer -inheriting the tendencies from her serial killer dad, perhaps it's ex Jimmy who takes his frustration on those that have replaced him, is it the new partner who obviously has a crush on her or is it one of her colleagues with their own agenda. The single disc open to a language selection [German or English], it then goes to the main menu offering play, set up [basically subtitles and hard of hearing], special features [commentaries, making of, deleted and extended scenes] and scene selection. Picture and sound quality is fine and the acting is top notch -even the support cast. The plot doesn't really have many twists as such, but the clever script, directing and acting is designed to throw you in the wrong direction -and for the most part it works. The pace is constant and the film doesn't flag. This under-rated film is well worth buying at its current price of less than £5 [even with postage] so if you like detective stories then why not give this one a try, but if you want lots of nudity, violence and gore, then look elsewhere. As a 15 rating it's well deserving of *****.

Kept us interested through the film and the better half guested who it was by a third of the way in. For £1.89 can not complain.

This is a very good thriller with a twist towards the end so aptly named. Thoroughly enjoyable and totally recommended.

excellent actors, a very good movie. Ashley Judd excellent, interessant story with a tense atmosphere. I recommend it

Another good thriller from Ashley Judd...in fact pick any Ashley Judd film and you just know you're in for a good film. Put your feet up, sit back and enjoy!
