Twist (2020)
Directed by Martin Owen this film based on the novel Oliver Twist stars Rafferty Law, Michael Caine, Lena Headey, Rita Ora and Sophie Simnett. An orphan joins a gang of art thieves.
Coming about ten or fifteen years too late this is the parkour version of Oliver Twist that sets itself up for a fall by referencing the David Lean adaptation right up front. There is a place for a modern version of Oliver Twist but this film takes all the Dickensian poverty out of the story which does not leave much. My biggest question is how Michael Caine and Lena Heady ended up in something this bad.
2/5
