It has been 12 years since Danny Miller (Avan Jogia) went to prison for smothering an old woman. But now he is out and having a difficult time adjusting. After all, no one visited him in prison really. So without a mother and his dad being unsupportive, who can he turn to? Well, he decides to turn to Tom (Josh Charles). Someone who saves him from a...
There Is Flickers of Twisted’s Danny
Jogia’s performance as Danny Desai on Twisted, arguably remains his best role to date. For there was this quality to his acting. This inability to know if the killer he was perceived as, was who he was. Since, like with this movie, they played up on the idea of questioning if he was wrongly convicted or not. But while this film fails to capitalize on Jogia’s abilities, he brings some of his old Danny to the role. Using his brooding looks to seduce you. Doing little crazy things which make it...
Tom
This film really doesn’t do its actors, or characters really, justice. For Jogia, you see that with especially, but Charles suffers too. Especially since the decisions written for his character are ridiculous.

Lauren Is Not Only An Afterthought, But Someone You Are Given Little Reason To Invest In
Speaking of Tom’s wife, Lauren (Julia Stiles) is just a pawn in this movie. Stiles doesn’t bring a single thing to her which feels noteworthy. She is just Tom’s poor wife who gets neglected as he obsesses over Danny. The woman who wants a baby but, for reasons unknown, can’t seem to have one. She is Tom’s weakness that Danny can exploit to get under Tom’s skin. That’s it. Not to imply she doesn’t have a life of her own, she is an artist with some notoriety. However, what little props the film...
A disappointment. No matter how you look at it, this film is a disappointment. It doesn’t take advantage of Jogia who basically just played the same role a few years ago. Charles just seems to be reading his lines and really gives Jogia little to work with and Stiles? Well, she is pretty much collecting a paycheck. Hence the Negative label for this...
May 10, 2017 · Based on a novel by Pat Barker, "The Drowning" features some of the most gruel-thin justifications for its already flimsy plot machinations. It's an obnoxious story about revenge and self-destruction that throws together a bunch of hackneyed observations about humanity, and then justifies its laziness by asking us to embrace Tom's unbelievably ...
