Twisted

Whoever did the musical score for this should be thrown off a cliff. This is one of the worst scores I've ever heard. Completely tonally incompatible to the type of movie this wants to be. It's so off-putting and is always present. I don't think there is a single scene without some kind of grating background music. The acting is ok by the 3 main leads but most of the others not so good, the police duo in particular are terrible. The fx are one of the few good things. The story is just completely implausible. Basically these 2 scam artists rent Airbnb's then pretend to be real estate agents and pretend to sell the house. There are so many things wrong with that idea. First of all if your renting an Airbnb then you have a rental account with your names and info, you would have a legal rental agreement. How are you getting away with scamming. They then just plant a sign out front that it's for sale. How exactly are they scamming people into giving them money without an actual sale happening? It's not listed anywhere for real other than a sign. They think they are going to pull this off by renting a house with visible cameras all over the inside. They just turn them all off, like the owner's not going to know. It's all so stupid. Then there's the woke, the 2 scammers are a lesbian couple who we are constantly reminded are lesbians. The lead black male is Djimon Hounsou a pretty well known actor so wouldn't call that DEI. However I believe every single person they scam is an idiot white male and one of them tries to rape one of the lesbians. One of the detectives is female. The black doctor has a painting of his late wife on the wall and of course she's white so we get the check the mixed race couple box as well. Overall pretty slow moving with a ridiculous story that barely watchable made worse with a truly abysmal musical score.
