Down Twisted

About This Movie

Down Twisted is this interesting blend of action and crime with a touch of adventure that somehow feels like a product of its time. You’ve got this naive waitress, just trying to help out her roommate, and before she knows it, she’s on the run in Central America. The pacing has a bit of that frantic energy, not quite smooth but it adds to the tension. And the mercenary character, he’s a bit grungy, rough around the edges, which gives the film a gritty vibe. Practical effects pop up here and there, grounding those chase scenes in reality. The performances aren’t Oscar-worthy, but they carry that 80s charm, making it a curious watch for anyone into the lesser-known gems of the action genre.
