All cops Michael (Justin Thibault) and Brenda (Audrey Noone) were
supposed to do was to deliver a search warrant to known drug dealer Reuben
(Anthony Gaudette) - but then something goes wrong, and they somehow
shoothim and his innocent girlfriend Lacy (Sheri Lee) - and then they have
the good idea to "confiscate" some of his drugs to sell on the
black market for their own benefit. But of course, after the whole thing
Michael and Brenda have to lay low for a while, which gets to Brenda
especially since she's thus unable to be with her daughter. However, she
has got a friend, L.T. Carmichael (Chris Fisher), who promises her
everything will be ok - which is of course the very same thing Michael has
promised her, but while Michael is an incorrigible optimist who never
thinks about the consequences of his actions, L.T. Carmichael is someone
who actually can move things. But then Brenda is picked up by internal
affairs, and forced into a position she doesn't enjoy one bit - and she's
rather surprised what role L.T. Carmichael actually plays in this ...
Bent is a pretty great "crooked cop" movie
that works quite as beautifully as it does because it does focus not so
much on the action that the genre pretty much brings with itself but on
the human drama underlying it all, which is not hammered home though but
delivered in a very subtle way. And naturally, a first rate cast helps
enormously bringing the point across as well!
... and of course, feel free to check out the trailer here:
