It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It wasn't bad and it wasn't fantastic, it fell somewhere in the middle. I'll watch Karl Urban in pretty much anything so I went in with the mindset of a fan. I didn't like how they had two separate stories going on it kinda made the film have a disconnecting feel. However I did like both storylines. I would have liked them as two separate movies...that actually would have been a great idea. I liked Urban's acting hence the 6/10 stars. But for the movie itself I'd say 5.5 or at most a 6 would be acceptable too. I liked Urban's grit. I didn't guess the ending so that was something else that made the movie decent. I'd recommend it if you're a Karl Urban or Andy Garcolia fan otherwise it's just another B rated cop movie with some plot disconnect.

An action packed story that was never boring. And a twist at the end. What more could you want from an action movie?

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.
