GOOD VERSION OF THE "DID I DO IT" FILM
Added 10/25/2009
Never saw Ashley Judd before but she certainly has the look and the moves to make this film a good one. Some fairly brutal shots but, on the whole, more of a who-done-it than a bang 'em up show. Jackson handles his role with authority while the rest of the cast mostly support nicely. Actually, much as an old fashioned mystery, pretty much plays fair with the audience as to the what, if not the who, at the core of it all. In summary, quite a neat 90+ minute package.

TWISTED...Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman
Added 9/8/2009
I think you will like this movie if you are an Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman fan. Full of suspence and what a twist at the end. This is an older movie, but if you like a good mystery you should see it.

At Least It Doesn't 'Stink'
Added 6/16/2009
I had heard several people say, "Don't rent this movie; it stinks," but took a shot anyway because Ashley Judd is appealing (looks-wise) to me. Well, I wouldn't buy the film but it worth the rental. It wasn't bad at all.
It was a decent "serial killer movie" except for the ending which went on too long and got a bit sappy, but a lot of movies are know for that. However, by the end, all the characters (including Judd's "Jessica Shepard") had worn thin and I was glad to see it end.
I also had heard that the ending was easy to figure out but I didn't find that. So, don't believe everything you hear; it's nothing to spend a lot of money on, but you could do a lot worse.

Interesting concept
Added 9/24/2008
San Francisco Police Officer Jessica Sheperd (Judd) is going for the big time. She's just gotten a promotion from beat cop to Inspector in Homicide, which is a dream job. She's got a lot to prove since her Dad was a serial killer who ended his spate of deaths by killing Jessica's Mom and then himself.
But, she's got the Police Commissioner (Jackson) on her side. John Mills (Jackson) took the 6-year-old orphan of his former partner and raised her to be the best cop around. He predicts Jessica will be the next Police Chief.
But, Jessica's got a dark secret. She's haunted by her father's actions and she's burying those ghosts with alcohol and sexual encounters.
When her former sexual partners start showing up dead and she's having blank spells, Jessica and most everyone else suspect her of being the killer. But is she?
While "Twisted" is weak in some areas, the mystery is still there. This is one of the better acting jobs by Judd, who really goes from luminous to haunted in the space of a few minutes.

So inept, it's ALMOST intriguing...
Added 4/13/2008
TERRIBLE script with no thrills AT ALL, and a "least likely suspect" you see coming a mile away (since there are only three principal characters in the movie.) Ashley Judd is, at best, mis-cast, playing a hard-bitten SF cop like she was auditioning for the New Mouskateers. An utterly mediocre movie by a good director - the only real mystery.
