Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times One wonders what drew talented writer-director Bobby Moresco, the Oscar-winning co-scripter of "Crash," to such uninspired material. Mar 8, 2018 Full Review Jacob Knight Birth.Movies.Death. Bent is... the Karl Urban Show, a delightful excuse to showcase just how potent the performer is as a leading man. May 16, 2018 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 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. Rated: D Mar 15, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

pkzj M great cast - was written for simpletons to follow Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Brett C I like the actors, but the film itself was disjointed and edited miserably..Urban can carry a film without saying much. Sofia was unwatchable, acting is not her greatest strength..I love Andy, but it seemed, in the version I saw that his relationship with Urban's character was edited out. Pity Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Gert E I'd recommend this movie to anyone who likes Karl Urban. He's the reason I chose to watch it and it delivered. Andy Garcia is playing very well and it was nice to see Sofia Vergara in a dramatic role. The movie is about integrity, corruption, revenge, loyalty and deception. About friendship and love. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/20/24 Full Review Vourn2020 I know I've missed the bus and it is now 2023 and the movie was in 2018. This is somewhat the best new age crime drama I have ever watched with brilliant cast, plot and twists. The character of Danny Gallagher with the help of legend character like Jimmy Murtha helps to get this gripping crime drama to it's height, Yes, it's a good movie with unexpected heartwarming ending. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/23 Full Review Renato D I have just seen this film and liked It!!!! It's good! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review Robert M TLDR: some bad cliche dialogue on unenlightening cliche plot with the overall effect of being unbelievable. However, this film elicits the desired response if you are in a forgiving mood. Good stuff for winding down on a week night. When you review a film on Rotten Tomatoes, it gives you a semantic guide to the 5-star rating system. I'm familiar with the 5-star rating system and I reject Rotten Tomatoes' guide, which would have it that I thought of this film "Meh, it passed the time". That is what I thought of the first John Wick film, which started quite strong, so that I understood why the silly main character was doing the silly things he was doing. This action film is a little different. It's not great as cinema compared to good noir, but it is less paranoically obsessive and morally absent than noir. Jimmy is clearly the flawed character who would make the more complex study, leaving Urban's character a sort of Ubermensch of twitch reflexes, endurance, and inability to feel appropriate self-pity, if that last is the stuff of an ubermensch. This all turn's out to be appropriate to the message. God I love moralising in film. Any time I see moralising in film, even shitty Aristotelian/establishment moralising like this, I forget the decline of civilization for a while.
