“Distorted” (*1/2 out of four) was a distorted mess about a young woman (Christina Ricci) suffering from numerous mental health issues who moves into a luxurious new apartment building with her moron husband (Brendan Fletcher) and begins to suspect that the apartment complex is using its tenants as guinea pigs for experiments with global ramifications. She then turns to a mysterious stranger (John Cusack) for help. Absurd story goes nowhere after a promising beginning, A real waste of Ricci’s talent and Cusack is sorely miscast. It’s about time he went back to the nice-guy roles he’s best remembered for.
