Of course I had not heard about this 2025 thriller titled "Twisted Devotion" prior to getting the chance to sit down and watch it. I have to admit that I sat down with zero expectations to the movie, and thus I suppose writer and director Marcus Brown had every possible opportunity to entertain and impress me.
But that was not the outcome of the viewing. Nah, this was a bland viewing experience at best. The script was semi-adequate, I will say that. But it was not a particularly exciting or thrilling narrative. And the acting performances were sluggish, literally, which didn't do a bit to promote the narrative. It was a straightforward script, but totally and fully devoid of twists and turns to throw the audience off the track. And that made for a very generic and predictable viewing experience.
I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. And I can't say that I was impressed with what I saw. Everyone were literally putting on sluggish performances, delivering their dialogue as if they were numbed senseless by something.
If you enjoy thrillers, then I would not really recommend you to waste 70 minutes on watching "Twisted Devotion", because writer and director Marcus Brown didn't deliver anything overly enjoyable, nor did he bring anything exciting to the table. And should you opt to sit through it, as I did, this movie hardly warrants a second viewing.
My rating of "Twisted Devotion" lands on a most generous three out of ten stars.
