: Twisted

A decent thriller with good performances, but it’s too dependent upon the twist ending, which I saw coming a mile away. The story’s cool: a female police officer’s been promoted to homicide detective and her first case turns out to be a series of murders of her former lovers. Suspicion naturally falls on her, and soon she begins to suspect herself. Her father was a cop who killed her mother and then himself when she was five, so she’s been haunted by that her whole life. Does she have the same evil gene as her dad? The murders always happen while she’s blacked out, so perhaps she did do it. That’s the mystery. When the answer’s revealed it’s good and makes sense, but it’s not all that surprising. Above average but not outstanding.
