Twisted - 2004

 Dude c'mon with this title. The year is 2004 and Ashley Judd had been implemental to the post Se7en nu-metal soaked post millennium world. Why not capitalize with a film titled Twisted?!

Geez you guys. This movie is exactly that though. You have Bone Collector and Double Jeopardy and such, and this is arriving a bit late to the scene to say, "hey how about that whole thing again? I have something you say!"

But does it tho... You know.... Does it? Not really basically. This movie switches things up by having Judd be a short haired sexually charged cop who is also an unreliable narrator. They just looked at those stops and said fuck it pull em all out. 

Sam L Jackson, Leland Orser, and Andy Garcia fill out the cast, and the movie goes along minding its own business. They show Judd is a tough cop in a new precinct and a new body shows up- it's someone she's slept with. She instantly gets a bad omen and sure enough, soon other men she's fucked begin to turn up dead. 

Twisted is a product of its time, yet without leaving full into an R rating it leaves it feeling uncertain what it wants to do. Also, the end is entirely predictable. I'll give it a 2.
