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.

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...
