Bent

I read reviews before watching the movie... both good and bad. I didn't think it was a terrible film, it's a slow story but it makes sense. If you're bored and want to watch a movie, it's worth watching. That said, I see others paid for it while I viewed it on prime. Still, not a terrible movie but not great.

I love Karl Urban, so I chose to watch based on him being the lead. Several good actors and a strong story plot made this a knockout film. If you like action-dramas with some love-story blended in, and a bit of suspense, I think you might like this movie.

Karl Urban fit his role as the avenging cop to a "T". Sofia Vergara's facial expression never changed, she may as well have been a manikin. But Andy Garcia as the aging father figure cop who was actually a dirty/bent cop carried the movie. Mr. Garcia in this supporting role was very good, very convincing.

Passable mystery thriller, although the film's primary secret is out of the bag from the get-go if you've ever seen a movie before. By-the-numbers script chugs along, setting up the final payoffs in textbook fashion. Though set in New Orleans, it's pretty obvious this was shot in Italy, which lends it a little geographic discombobulation. Don't think too much about the climax, and the possibility that a startled Gallagher might have shot the home's occupant.Contrary to urban (no pun intended) legend, Vergara does not appear nude.

We began watching this film and I honestly was not expecting it to be the best but when it came to deciding between rating it 3 or 4 stars, I decided on 4 because although it was a bit slow at times, it held our interest and was not one that either my Wife or I considered moving on to something else.We like all the actors in this film and it was good to see Andy Garcia again as I do not recall anything else that we had seen him in recent years.Overall, as others have said, if there is nothing else better to watch, then this film has a decent plot and great actors but only do so if you have a Prime subscription because I would not recommend as a rental.

The story of a good cop wrongly convicted of a crime. The drama unfolds as he uncovers what happened.The acting is good. The viewer is drawn into liking the main character. The cinematography is professional. The viewer knows that twists are coming, but the actual twist are not overtly obvious.I recommend this film

I don't remember ever hearing about this movie being in the theaters. It seems like the studios have forgotten how to reach the general public... but I digress. This was a pretty good revenge/action flick. It has a couple of shortcomings, like being totally predictable... but revenge movies don't tend to have lots of room for plot twists, except for who is really the bad guy vs. who is apparently the bad guy, so even that gets predictable. Anyway, don't look for more than a couple hours of enjoyment, with some good acting involved, and you'll like it.

Star studded thriller, what can go wrong? Everything...Very strange performance by Andy Garcia who is usually good in everything. Wooden performance by Urban, Sofia Vergara is there basically just for eye candy.Filmed on a budget, from what I could see Spain and USA. In some scenes you just see the two locations don't quite mesh, i.e. weird cars, houses, etc. that doesn't quite fit in the previous scenes, especially the strange old BMWs painted as police cars.Maybe the book is better but don't be suckered by the big names in this movie, it isn't worth watching.

This was a decent flick for when and what it was. Had you thinking on who done it? I've seen better but I've seen way worse too...worth a watch if your bored!

Poorly directed and edited to avoid

really enjoyed this action packed movie.

I watch a video that I had seen the preview for. It was exactly what I expected
