Movie Review: Interesting concept
Summary: 3 Stars
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.

Summary of Twisted (Special Collector's Edition)
With a tawdry plot and a short list of suspects, Twisted gives armchair detectives an easy chance to figure out whodunit. Critics roasted this pulpy potboiler, in which Ashley Judd (attempting to repeat the thriller success she had with Double Jeopardy and High Crimes) plays a San Francisco homicide detective who is her own prime suspect in an ongoing serial murder case, in which all of the victims are men she recently slept with. These one-night stands, and a problem with alcoholic blackouts, make Judd's wine-drinking character the loose cannon on the case, and her partner (Andy Garcia) and police commissioner mentor (Samuel L. Jackson) have their own reasons for wanting the case to close. Apparently nobody bothered to point out numerous weaknesses in Sarah Thorp's B-movie screenplay, and with no apparent interest in the proceedings, director Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff) allows Judd to look silly, Garcia to overact, and the whole movie to unfold in murky darkness and dimly lit rooms. Kaufman, Judd, and her costars are capable of better. --Jeff ShannonMystery & Suspense DVD Video
