A Dickens classic brought thrillingly up to date in the teeming heartland of modern London, where a group of street smart young hustlers plan the heist of the century for the ultimate payday.
In this modern retelling of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist, a streetwise young artist named Twist struggles to survive in London. He falls in with a gang of thieves led by the charismatic Fagin and his cunning henchman Sikes. Twist finds himself drawn into a dangerous world of art heists and manipulation, all while trying to protect a valuable artifact and the woman he loves.
Twist received largely negative reviews from critics, who found its modern interpretation of the classic story to be jarring and underdeveloped. While some acknowledged the ambition of updating the narrative, most felt the film suffered from a weak script, uneven performances, and a lack of coherence.
Google audience: Audience reviews indicate a mixed to negative reception. Many found the modernization of the story to be uninspired and a departure from what they enjoyed in the original tale. Some viewers appreciated the stylish visuals and the inclusion of Michael Caine, but these positives were generally overshadowed by criticisms of the plot and character development.
Sir Michael Caine, who plays Fagin in the film, previously portrayed Jacob Marley in "The Muppet Christmas Carol" (1992), another adaptation of a Charles Dickens story.
