Featured reviews
It's like a cheap children's film but with swearing and a bit of murder.
So many familiar faces. Terrible movie. I suspect it's sky financing cheap movies due to lack of big movies made 2020 and to save buying big movies... I have rated 4 cos it was presented in 4k.. but.....god it's bad.
Other reviews have criticised Twist for being a Parkour film. I would say that this is its only redeeming feature.
It would be wrong to call all of the acting "wooden" but the overall standard is very low and Rita Ora must know this is not her strong suit.
The references to Twist, Dodge, Fagin and Sykes just remind you that you could be watching a much (much) better film.
The dialogue is clumsy and mechanical, with youth references crowbarred in with unintended comedic consequences.
But some of the running and jumping is very good!
I didn't really know what to expect with this movie but I was still underwhelmed by it.
It was extremely dull and just dead behind the eyes. I found it to be a chore to sit though.
I don't want to be horrible but the acting was absolutely awful. It was so lifeless and just really bad. Every single actor was bad.
Also a warning that most of this film is just running sequences that normally end up on rooftops. I'm pretty sure that some parts were shot on a go pro.
It also had this like sugary sweetness undertone which clashed so much with the "English crime" tone. It was like a kids movie but about a gang in London?

Don't know who the target audience was but this felt very 'teenager' orientated. Has some big names but some mediocre acting. It was just neither something original, nor clever, using ideas that have been down before. Just kind of bland, really. Loved Headey in GOT but not at all in this. Hope she doesn't end up doing crap like this. Just didn't really care for it. Was mostly bored. Had higher expectations.

- TriviaThe Rotten Tomatoes critics consensus reads "The real Twist in this lunkheaded Dickens update is the involvement of Michael Caine, who hopefully got another terrific house out of it." This is a reference to Jaws: The Revenge (1987), a legendary cinematic turkey for which Sir Michael Caine was paid handsomely. Caine later admitted "I have never seen it [Jaws: The Revenge], but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."
- GoofsAt around the 40 minute mark, Fagin is discussing doctor Losberne and at one point mistakenly refers to him as Losborne.
