Movie Info

When a drug bust goes wrong, ex-cop Danny Gallagher's (Karl Urban, Lord of the Rings) quest for justice leads him to the car-bomb murder of a government official's wife. As Gallagher learns the woman's secret lover was a seductive federal agent (Sofia Vergara, "Modern Family"), he finds himself under fire. But from who--his own cops, a vengeful drug lord, the CIA, or someone even more ruthless? This pulse-pounding thriller also stars Grace Byers ("Empire") and Andy Garcia (Ocean's Eleven).

One wonders what drew talented writer-director Bobby Moresco, the Oscar-winning co-scripter of "Crash," to such uninspired material.

Bent is... the Karl Urban Show, a delightful excuse to showcase just how potent the performer is as a leading man.

Perhaps Moresco is a great salesman, or maybe the talent just wants to work. Either way, the movie doesn't ask much of their talents, wasting time on forgettable material.

Audience Reviews for Bent

Nov 14, 2019

Based on a best-selling book series, Bent is a fairy stereotypical noir crime thriller. After getting out of prison former police detective Daniel Gallagher looks into a murder that his partner was investigating before he was killed, and comes to believe that it could be connected to the crime boss that set him up. Starring Karl Urban, Sofia Vergara, and Andy Garcia, the film has a pretty solid cast; though Vergara seems a bit out of her element. The plot is a little convoluted, or at least the murder mystery is, and is kind of hard to follow at times. Still, there's a good amount of intrigue and a few interesting plot twists. Bent is entertaining and delivers some thrills, but ends up being a rather mediocre action film.
