Twisted

I'm not sure how Philip Kaufman was dragged into directing this adequate by uneven murder thriller. He's known for such classics as THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING and THE RIGHT STUFF so to see him at the helm of such a standard psycho drama makes one scratch the head a bit. Still, TWISTED is an ok little number with Ashley Judd looking better than ever and Andy Garcia turning in yet another angry brooding performance. The real shocker here is Samuel L. Jackson who I swear looks like he was sleepwalking through this one. Fine if you catch it on late night TV but save you money as far as rental or purchase goes.
