Ricci is convincingly terrified in a film that's never scary enough to justify her performance.

Thanks to Ricci's excellent performance as Lauren and Cusack's balanced supporting role, Disjointed will certainly find favour with fans of classic Canadian cult offerings.

[Christina] Ricci is impressive, however, working hard with what she's got to create a character we can believe in even when what's happening to and around her stretches credulity.

Distorted leaves viewers with a disjointed, unoriginal story, a made-for-TV feel, and underwhelming thrills, with the only saving graces being the presence of Ricci and Cusack.

1/5

A frustratingly terrible paranoia thriller, Distorted manages to waste a potentially intriguing premise and the star power of Christina Ricci and John Cusack.

"Distorted" plays one too many tricks, and its casting is abysmal.

A marathon and you never arrive anywhere. Shame coz I love Cusack and Ricci. The sound levels seemed to have escaped a final check. Straining to hear barely audible conversations, and disappointed when the dialogue wasn't worth the effort. Set up with the smart home was ok, plays on all our fears of big brother watching, security at the cost of privacy. But the fragile manchurian storyline is just not well fleshed or justified in any way. 'How do you like them apples?' seems to be the moral of the story, but the premise is never really set up.

Don't know what to say other than the writers had no idea how to conclude this story. So they wrote an ending that made no sense and explained nothing. The first hour was intriguing and engaging but since the rest of it was lazy and illogical I wish I hadn't bothered.

Love Ricci and Cusak. So was disappointed in this D list piece of film they were talked into doing. It is so boring. Nothing happens. Cheesy visuals. The only nice thing i can say is Ricci looks great with blond hair and bangs.

This was the worse movie ever and I have seen some terrible movies so that’s how you know it is bad. This movie was so bad i realized Cusack wasn’t attractive all over again along with the lady who terribly played bat💩 crazy Lauren.
