Twist

Absolutely abysmal! I watched this expecting it a good subversion of Oliver Twist only to get a boring movie with boring choreography and terrible acting. Even from Michael Caine who tried and failed at doing a Russian accent. If there was a 0 star rating I would give to this movie it.

Bad plot bad acting.. what a shame

Remarkably silly, Oliver Twist + parkour.

Different take on the Dickens classic which is an easy watch, but I much preferred the book to the film. Was nice to see some big names in there, however it felt they may have been used as a distraction to poorer acting skills of lesser known names.

Me parece que a esta película no la salva ni Michael Caine, donde lo único bueno de esta película esta en el sundtrack, en algunos sets y en Movimientos de Cámara interesantes. Que son los que sostienen a esta película y no la hacen todavía mas tediosa. Con una trama muy simple e irrealista, la película avanza muy lento y muy tediosamente. Otra cosa que no me gustó es la paleta de colores de la película. Que en muchos momentos empalaga y no se siente "real". La actuación de esta película tampoco es algo que se salva de la misma. Donde me parece que todos hacen un mal trabajo y no hay lugar para construir a un personaje interesante. Otra cosa que no me gustó de la película, fueron sus escenas aeróbicas, donde en muchos momentos se sienten muy exageradas y que no se introducen de forma orgánica en la misma. Y por si cabe mencionar otra cosa de la película; son sus grandes conveniencias de guion, donde hacen todavía mas irrealista y aburrida a la película, no sabiendo ocultar lo simple que es. Esta película es una que se perdió en 2021 y que no creo que mucha gente vaya a recordar.

Twist lives up to its title as a modern-day retelling of Oliver Twist, with Michael Caine as Issac "Fagin" Solomon, Rafferty Law as Twist, Lena Headey as Sikes, Rita Ora as Dodge, Noel Clarke as Brownlow, Jason Maza as Bedwin (Clarke and Maza co-produced the film), Franz Drameh as Batesey, Sophie Simnett as Nancy "Red" Leigh, David Walliams as Dr. Crispin Losberne, Dominic Di Tommaso as Tom Chitling and Leigh Francis as Warden Bumble. The world of Twist is less about pickpockets and more about the world of art theft, parkour and graffiti, so it's definitely a much more modern update, right? This was directed by Martin Owen, who also made L.A. Slasher, Let's Be Evil and Killers Anonymous. It has the feel of Kingsmen or Now You See Me and if you liked those movies, you'll like this. If you're a stickler for the classics, you surely will not. Raff Law is, of course, the son of Jude Law and this is a nice way to introduce him to audiences. And it's filled with needle drop songs you obviously know, so there's that was well. It was a pleasant enough way to spend an afternoon, to be fair.

Terribile rivisitazione moderna del celebre romanzo di Dickens. Le sequenze di azione sono a dir poco imbarazzanti, girate talmente male da far sembrare il film un progetto di qualche studente senza budget. Le performance attoriali dei ragazzi poi sono di un livello infimo, cosi come la sceneggiatura e quasi tutto il film. Probabilmente un film più adatto ad un pubblico giovane e poco esperto che può divertirsi con qualche accenno di parkour e con un goffo tentativo di creare suspense.

The best thing is the duration. The idea would be right but the interpretation is horrible,and the introduce the topics of the society erasing a natural plot.

A re-imagining of the classic Oliver Twist tale which heavily features free-running! As usual the final plot review is hurried and confusing.
