Michael Caine, Lena Headey, and Rafferty Law in Twist (2021)
Inspired by Charles Dickens's iconic novel OLIVER TWIST, this action-fueled crime-thriller set in contemporary London follows the journey of Twist (Raff Law), a gifted graffiti artist trying to find his way after the loss of his mother. Lured into a street gang headed by the paternal Fagin (Oscar® winner Michael Caine), Twist is attracted to the lifestyle - and to Red (Sophie Simnett), an alluring member of Fagin's crew. But when an art theft goes wrong, Twist's moral code is tested as he's caught between Fagin, the police, and a loose-cannon enforcer (Lena Headey).

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The 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."
    • Goofs
      At around the 58 minute mark when the van and Sikes car are driving under the bridge both vehicles have their lights on as it is starting to get dark. However, in the next scene when the van is stopped at the roadblock it is broad daylight again.

    Tries too hard
    Liked the idea of Oliver Twist being set in modern times, but this is poorly executed. The makers have tried way too hard to be gritty and street, so much so that it's like a parody of gangsta films. I mean, David Walliams makes an appearance for goodness sake. Throwing in a soundtrack featuring 90's Brit bands doesn't make it edgy either. Weak storyline, poor acting and unconvincing 'criminals' With the likes of Headey and Caine in it, it really should have been better.
