Reviews

While Twist has received mixed reviews from critics, with a rating of 4.2/10 on IMDb and 9% on Rotten Tomatoes, some have praised the film for its modern take on the classic story and the stylish visuals. The Guardian described it as 'an energetic but insubstantial urban crime caper' and commended Raff Law's performance, stating that he 'brings a youthful charm to the role of Twist'. However, other critics have criticized the film for its lackluster execution and shallow character development. The Hollywood Reporter mentioned that 'despite the trendy trappings and a game cast, Twist doesn't have enough heart to sustain its thin premise'. Overall, Twist offers a fresh twist on a familiar tale, but falls short of truly captivating its audience.
