Twisted

A police detective, recently appointed to a special task force, finds herself investigating a series of brutal murders that seem to have a connection to her own life. As the investigation intensifies, she uncovers dark secrets and must confront her own troubled past and the possibility that the killer could be closer than she ever imagined. The tension mounts as trust erodes and the line between victim and perpetrator blurs.

Jackson's, were noted, the film was generally criticized for its weak script, uninspired direction, and lack of suspense. Audiences were similarly unimpressed, leading to its poor box office performance.

Google audience: Google users had a divided opinion, with some finding the thriller elements engaging enough for a one-time watch, while many others felt the plot was too convoluted and the ending unsatisfying. Common complaints included the confusing narrative and a lack of genuine suspense.

The film was originally intended to be a sequel to the 1999 film 'Kiss the Girls', also starring Ashley Judd, but the script was heavily rewritten to become a standalone story.
