Bent: Plan de venganza

Like other reviews, it's not the greatest movie but not bad either

This movie is reminiscent of an old detective story from the 1970s. Like a cop going around trying to solve a crime while being on leave for doing something bad on the job, like Dirty Harry. It includes the over-the-top tough guy dialogue as well.

The plot is ok, but man the dialogue and the weird actors/background make it seem really amateurish. And then you realize why. Yeah, this is not the US, it's Italy. After seeing a sign on a building that says "PortMobility", I Googled it and found it in Rome. Not the US.

Hence, a Spaghetti detective story, made in italy!

The clues were all the weird accents. A TV reporter with an Italian accent, the cop with a weird accent. The European cars in the background. And no discernible landmark from the US. Not to mention the weird Police uniforms, they looked like some Eastern European uniforms, not American cop uniforms. While driving Euro cop cars.

It was a weird movie overall. Which was kind of surprising since it had a couple well known actors.

If you're bored and can stream it for free, do it just to see how many hints you can notice that it's Italy.

I quite liked this movie, just above average. I don't know why so many people had reviewed this film and say that it is a rehash, been done so many times before. Er hello, what film has'nt been done many times before. Even classics like the Big Sleep were done before. Superman....he can fly and can save the world..rehash. Detective or detectives find out who the bad guy is. NCSI. CSI...Sherlock Holmes. Just because the film did not have a shoot out and car chase every five seconds, does not mean it was a bad film. Or was it because people had to concentrate on the dialogue. As I said its an ok film.

This is not a bad little crime story. However, Karl Urbans abilities are not enough to carry the movie on its own. The supporting casts acting skills are mostly not up to scratch and the movie seems to have been clearly made on a low budget.

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.
