Michael Sragow

Twisted is an unusual forensic crime film because it's witty and sophisticated as well as taut and creepy. Read full review

Connie Ogle

Twisted is a movie so derivative it's hard to pinpoint exactly how many other thrillers it poaches from. Read full review

Premiere Sara Brady

Laughably clichéd, abominably written, astonishingly dreadful attempt at a psycho-sexual thriller. Read full review

David Ansen

Sarah Thorp’s lazy script lurches from the lame to the ludicrous. Read full review

Michael O'Sullivan

Gives new meaning to the word "obvious." Read full review

William Arnold

The movie is a resounding dud: immaculately composed and shot (very much in the Kaufman tradition), but riddled with crime-movie cliches, wincingly obvious in its plot twists and rather badly acted. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

So utterly devoid of suspense, energy or credibility it should have been shipped straight to the remainder bin at Blockbuster. Read full review

Não é tão ruim quanto os críticos dizem ser é um filme razoavelmente bom de suspense. Com Ashley Judd divando como sempre na atuação "Gostosa",e o espetacular Samuel L. Jackson e Andy Garcia também com uma ótima performance... Um filme eficiente,muito subestimado..

Un polar ma foi assez bien ficelé mais qui se traîne un peu trop en longueurs et qui laisse languir le spectateur dans le doute, jusqu'à la fin enfin espérée qui se délie sur un rebondissement qui révèle tout (ô surprise !) mais auquel on a vraiment toutes les peines du monde à croire !

OnUn polar ma foi assez bien ficelé mais qui se traîne un peu trop en longueurs et qui laisse languir le spectateur dans le doute, jusqu'à la fin enfin espérée qui se délie sur un rebondissement qui révèle tout (ô surprise !) mais auquel on a vraiment toutes les peines du monde à croire !

On est donc assez déçu de cette "explication" alors que le film nous orientait évidemment sur de fausses pistes certes, mais bien plus crédibles ou bien moins invraisemblables en fin de compte.

Heureusement, le film peut compter sur ses 3 comédiens principaux fort compétents dont la principale, la captivante Ashley, porte à peu près le poids du film sur ses jolies épaules : ce n'est peut-être pas une actrice flamboyante ni d'un éclat particulier mais elle parvient en dehors de son charme naturel à instiller à ses personnages une véritable sensibilité, et de fait un réalisme psychologique certain.

Cela ne suffit pas à sauver cet "Instincts meurtriers" des affres d'une médiocrité trop commune mais contribue à le hisser et le maintenir au niveau de la ligne de flottaison.… Expand

I think since they are making films like this...metacritic fellas need to create a "below zero" rating system that enables us the mighty online critics to be able to score points like "-8". because frankly...i think i am putting the big fat red zero to shame by associating it with this. i I think since they are making films like this...metacritic fellas need to create a "below zero" rating system that enables us the mighty online critics to be able to score points like "-8". because frankly...i think i am putting the big fat red zero to shame by associating it with this. i am gona kill this movie...you wanna read it and have a good time?...here we go, number one: the name of the film is twisted, but for something to be "twisted" it needs to be straight first...thats not this movie. number two: make sure you bring a friend with you when you see this film, because you will need a witness to remind you that you were NOT infact in hell, but rather in your home watching a dvd. nunmber treeee: if you want to be a filmmaker or just join the film industry, this film is sure to make you wanna be a plumber, you will think that cleaning peoples toilets is a more rewarding line of work. number four: make sure you are not eating while watching this film, because whatever you eat, will reappear smack on your plate in the manner of vomit. number five: your t.v might reek of rotten flesh for weeks and attract near by rodents because this film STINKS. number six: while watching this movie, you will question your sanity and you may rise to a conclusion that you are insane, pick up an axe and swing it left and right, damaging furniture or other civilians. number seven: if you make it through the 50 minutes of this film, you will have an urge to receive a medal of courage of somesort, you will stand up, right hand on salute and just wait there for hours for nothing. number whatever: you will write a long and low rating rant at metacritic, and beg hollywod to not kick you in the bottom once again. … Expand
