I really like Karl Urbain and it nice to see him not in a sidekick role)
Nothing special,but enjoyable little flick to spent some time...
not as bad as some say...
So, where, for the love of all that is holy, is this movie supposed to be taking place? Apparently it is supposed to be somewhere in the U.S., because otherwise what the hell are all these Americans doing in the movie. Originally Karl Urban's Jeep appears to have Louisiana Plates on it, but in every scene with multiple back ground cars, there are lots of cars that aren't even sold in the U.S.
I also need to point out that NO police force in the U.S. has ever used BMW E36 sedans as cop cars, or Land Rover Discoverys, at least that I can find. And those police badges on the sleeves of their uniforms could not be more generic. Maybe this movie suffered from High Definition clarity.
Also, the establishing shots for the locations are bizarre and simply wrong, and the cops all sound like they're from New York.
It's just so confusing. As if the producer and director had never set foot in the U.S. and was just guessing at what it would look like.
I've seen worse movies, but this one had the potential to be much better, regardless of the rehashed plot. At least I don't feel the need to find these people and ask them for my time back.

Bent (2018) is about a former cop that was framed, lost his partner and now is seeking out revenge, while battling his inner demons to just call it quits and stay with his all time love.
It has an OK plot and I like what they did with it, but they make things way too big and never explain them enough. A conspiracy? Is it Goverment related? Is it only about rogue agents fighting over money? In the end, all that doesn't matter.
It's not an action movie. It's about seeing an investigation unfolds and it's kinda bland. There are some curveballs, but they are rather weak.
Overall, just an OK flick.

A weak storyline, poor script, slow pace and ham acting, make for a less than enjoyable ride. A rehashed idea, done a thousand times and 999 times better! Our lead, Karl Urban, makes Matt Damon seem to have limitless emotional depth. He permanently looks like he is suffering from hard stools - maintaining the same expression throughout. The wardrobe department wasn't too taxed, given he wore the same outfit the whole movie, but for a t-shirt change. Continuity need sacking; cops break our hero's tail light and 20 seconds later it is fully functioning and undamaged again! Make-up is a bit odd, a punch in the nose illicits much blood after a thousandth of a second and one character shot in the final scene bleeds out immediately from the head and body, despite being shot only once. One character dies from a non-lethal wound! The storyline is simple enough. Man accused of something he didn't do goes out to prove otherwise and uncover a thinly-veiled conspiracy. I lost interest so many times, due to the slow pacing and poor script. The movie is lacking in drama and you become disengaged from the plot really easily. In short, it's not good.
