Twisted Justice

In the futuristic Los Angeles of 2010 where weapons are outlawed, policeman James Tucker (played by David Heavener, who also written, directed & produced this) kicks it old-school by using the tactics that other cops won't as he tracks down a drug-addicted rapist/killer all the while arguing with his boss Gage (Erik Estrada)

This film was just painful to watch, and thanks to Heavener wearing so many hats in this production I know who exactly to blame for that. Horrible stilted dialog, awful 'action' sequences and atrocious acting made this pathetic little number a chore to sit through from beginning to end. Almost as bad as an action movie can get.

My Grade: F+

If there was any any justice no one would ever have to sit through this movie. What can you say about a movie in which Erik Estrada is the best actor? Twisted is the only way to describe how logical the writing is. None of it makes any sense and the action scenes lack pizazz. Let's hope there's no sequel.

You have to admire filmmaker David Heavener. Sure, he makes awful movies, but at least he's making them and not just dreaming about it. And he makes them his own way (here he is the star, director, writer, producer, and musical composer!) And you have to give him extra credit here for managing to round up a dream B movie cast (Estrada, Tweed, Brown, Van Patten, Stroud, and Black) - though most of these people have little to do here. Anyway, if you know Heavener, you know what to expect with this movie - an ultra low budget enterprise. It's pretty cheap-looking (though it could have been worse, I suppose), with a futuristic setting that at no time looks advanced in technology or anything else. Poor audio and bad continuity also make the movie suffer, though what really sinks the movie is how lifeless everything is. It's slow-moving, and there's no passion even in the action sequences. I guess there's occasionally an unintended chuckle, but generally it's as dreary as Heavener's other movies.
