Twisted (I) (2004)
7/10
A good, but not very original thriller.
25 October 2004
Different people, different opinions I guess. Everybody seems to hate this movie. I think it wasn't too bad. I admit that this was a typical Hollywood product about a tough female cop partnered with a tough male cop. It isn't better than the other movies in this genre, but it isn't worse either. In the end I quite liked it for what it was, a good, but not very original thriller.

I went to the cinema without knowing much about the movie. All I knew was that Samuel L. Jackson, one of my favorite actors, acted in it. Well, in my opinion this is a good thriller with a lot of twists and good acting (especially by Jackson, who gives the strongest performance of the movie). As prescribed for this kind of movies, Twisted steers you in the wrong direction as to who the bad guy and who the hero is. Some say it is obvious who the bad guy is, just by watching the credits. I guess these people should try to enjoy a movie and not analyze it to death even before they have actually seen it.

All in all this movie deserves better than what most people say about it. I reward it with a 7/10.
