Bent
Croupier's Clive Owen is fantastic in this otherwise lackluster tale of Jews, gays, and Jewish gays imprisoned during the Nazi Holocaust. Based on Martin Sherman's play, the action is drawn-out with not a small amount of pretension, and the film's conclusion is never short of obvious. Other movies have tread similar ground before, just without the pink triangles. Altogether, it's a lackluster flick.
