Some things I liked some I did not.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Two big reasons for seeing this movie: Sofia Vergara.She's a beautiful gummint agent, but who cares? Just look into her eyes and fall into the abyss.Oh, and there's Karl Urban. He still has to keep his face covered to hide his complicit role in a certain space opera. But you know something? I have greatly enjoyed each and every role he's ever done.The film showed up on late-night and I managed to catch the pre-title scene from where they approach the boat, and I had no idea who was in it. I see that the cast includes Al Pacino--- oops, rather Andy Garcia. Yeah, he was channelling Michael from GF3. "THEY KEEP DRAWING ME BACK IN!"Every time that this genre shows up on my screen, I think "they're making all these cop flicks, how come I never hear anything about them." But, I enjoyed most of whatever humour there was, and it's got a good beat and it's easy to dance to.

SPELL BINDING INTRIGUE,ESPIONAGE AND ROMANCE ALL COME TOGETHER IN THIS MOST RECENT BOBBY MORESCO FILM. KARL URBAN IS FORCEFUL AS GALLAGHER AN EX-COP OUT FOR JUSTICE. ANDY GARCIA DELIVERS YET ANOTHER ICONIC CHARACTER PORTRAYAL IN HIS SUPPORTING ROLE. GREAT FILM A MUST SEE

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!
