Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

jb_campo Bent starts out with promise but quickly goes downhill and never rebounds. Urban as Detective Gallagher has that cop look and voice, but he's about the best actor in this mess. The best scene is 2 minutes in when his girlfriend, a singer, rips into Ball of Confusion, but then, yep, you get confused. Then there's a gun scene on a boat with unexpected consequences, and nothing gets explained. Urban meets Andy Garcia, and we have no idea who he is. Sofia Vergara shows up, no clear idea who she is. There is absolutely no character development, so no clue who these people are. Gallagher seems to be on his own, disavowed by the police. He drives here and there and everywhere, but no clue what he's doing. That pretty much explains the movie.What's worse is that the acting was inexplicably bad. Andy Garcia had this crying scene about Gallagher, with his wife, and you have NO clue why she's upset and why he's crying. There's another scene with another cop who investigates an attack on Gallagher, and this guy was just a terrible actor, like he was reading off the cards. Sofia Vergara walked her way thru lines and her character did some stupid things.Then suddenly you get to the end and Gallagher has everything figured out, but no clue about how he got there. It was a very confusing movie with really bad acting and poor character development. The scenery and setups were ok, but really a sub-par detective story. There are so many better detective cop stories than this. Really, don't waste your time. Dr McCoy should have just stayed on the Enterprise instead of beaming into this terrible movie.

Frame-By-Frame An ex cop out for justice, its all been done before only much much better. The main character played by Karl Urban is framed for a murder and gets jailed. On release he must make the connections to piece together what really happened. I found the movie a disappointment. I don't really care that the plot isn't particularly original. It's how it plays out that counts. It's whether it's engaging and suspenseful. Unfortunately, this is neither.It almost plays out like a documentary of events. The acting and script lack passion. Karl Urban bared plenty of chest during the 96 minutes but very little expression or emotion. Was he miscast or was this just a bad script? I did watch it to the end and whilst there is a minor twist in the final scenes, even that didn't rescue the boredom.My rating 4/10 Passes the time but not recommended.

bdbubbie I strongly recommend this movie. Great pace for the movie, script was well written. and great acting. Very great movie !

nicoleharringtondmd Engaging story-line, with lots of action and suspense. I loved the surprise ending which was absolutely worth the wait. I would highly recommend this movie- you won't be disappointed!
