Very Cool!!!
Instant Favorite.
Absolutely brilliant
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
This film was an amazing opportunity to see the main character (Gallager) navigate his way through a bunch of different obstacles as the suspense builds throughout. The plot is based of the book series (also a 10 out of 10) and the director did a great job with the adaptation. The case is full of A-listers and I would recommend this movie to anyone in search of a great thriller with a well developed story
I truly enjoyed this movie! The casting and acting were spot on and I especially loved Trai Byers in the role of Chuck Cummings. It was a small but powerful part and Trai was exceptional. While it differs a bit from the book it was based on, it was still quite engaging. Having read other books by JP O'Donnell, I look forward to a sequel!
Having read the book, Deadly Codes, I eagerly awaited the movie version. I was not disappointed, Bent (title change) was engaging, clever, suspenseful, well written and well acted. I was hooked from the electrifying opening scene to the very satisfying last scene. I love Danny & Kate & hope for a sequel to see where their story takes them. 5 stars!
The 96 min length felt like 3 hours in this overly dragged out slow paced mess. Was there even an editing department involved with this production? The writing/screenplay and directing by Bobby Moresco was atrocious - a high school drama student could have done better. The score was all over the place. The acting was OK for B-grade actors except for Karl Urban, who's performance was a disaster. His monotonic dialogue and wax expressions made it seem like this was his first acting role. It's also pathetic to see all 8 and above reviews only reviewed this film, thus all fakes. Sad to see the producers needing to trick the viewers in seeing this disaster. It's an honest and generous 3/10 from me.
