Twisted Pair (film)

Twisted Pair is a 2018 American independent science fiction psychological thriller film directed, produced, scored, edited, and written by Neil Breen.

The film centers around identical twin brothers, Cade and Cale Altair, who become hybrid artificial intelligence entities and are torn in different directions to achieve justice for humanity.

Twisted Pair had its world premiere on October 3, 2018, at the Laemmle Theatre in North Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, by Neil Breen Films, LLC.

During their youth, Cade and his identical twin brother Cale were abducted by aliens and modified to become humanoids, secret agents hired to stop evil.

Cade's boss tells him about programmable virtual reality and how a man named Cuzzx is going to use it to conduct the biggest cyber and terror attack ever.

Cade finds four men wearing VR goggles who are in some kind of trance, and in the next room, a very old person dressed like Cuzzx meeting with people.

The film ends with Cade addressing the audience, accepting the loss of Alana, and stating that humanity will eventually live in a virtual universe.

Leor Galil of the Chicago Reader said "Twisted Pair doesn't make much sense, it drags in parts, and it sometimes resembles the ramblings of a tinfoil-hatted conspiracy theorist.

"[12] She mentions a positive element of the film with "There's a seed of something interesting planted here – the villain looks like a dollar store Elvis Costello, carries a bowl of diamonds around, and talks like his voice is being disguised on an episode of Dateline NBC.

Unfortunately, time that could have been spent developing this character, or at least explaining who he is and what motivates him (and why his scarf keeps changing colors), is wasted on long scenes of Breen indifferently creeping around in an empty laboratory.

"[12] Grady Bolding of Cultured Vultures gave a negative review by stating "It has its moments of hilarity which kill any boredom that might ensue, but otherwise, it's a raging fire that cannot be put out.

"[13] Diego Olguín of The Charlatan also gave a negative review by stating "The surreal editing makes the film almost incomprehensible; the soundtrack is pretty much stock trailer music; the special effects look straight out of some mid 1990s straight-to-VHS movie; and the script is full of nonsensical dialogue, amplified by the cast's wooden deliveries.

Watching him trying his best to emote sadness as he tries to persuade his brother (which is Breen with a cheap beard and a hoodie) to turn himself in to the cops is something to be witnessed—preferably with a few friends and some drinks.

You can feel that Breen tried his best to deliver a legitimately good movie, like a modern-day Ed Wood—famous only for people roasting his past films, but still not giving up.
