Trailer
Why watch this film?
Starring the trio Andy Garcia (from 'Ocean's Eleven'), Karl Urban (from the series 'The Boys') and Sofía Vergara (the eternal Gloria from 'Modern Family'), 'Bent' is one of those police movies made to measure for genre fans. After all, all the elements that were successful with the audience are here: there is conspiracy, intertwined plots, characters being deceived, "fatal women". However, it is interesting to see how debut director Bobby Moresco (producer of the movie 'Crash: On the Edge') works with these formulas of police cinema in a low-budget production. There are more dialogues, more reflective moments, more silences. So, it is necessary to watch the movie ready for a different experience, which joins almost dissonant elements of "big cinema". And it is worth paying attention to the performance of Garcia, who manages to extract good moments even with a little developed character; and Vergara, impeccable in moments of explosion.

Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend
Directed by Bobby Moresco, the Oscar-winning writer of Crash, Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend is inspired by the story of Ferruccio Lamborghini, the farmer who would eventually become the head of one of the world's most prestigious luxury sports car brands. With a strong leading performance by Frank Grillo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), the film, in a very similar vein to Ford v Ferrari, tells an inspiring automotive world story about not giving up in the pursuit of our dreams, even in the face of the greatest adversities. The movie also features outstanding performances by Mira Sorvino and Gabriel Byrne in the role of Enzo Ferrari.
Thriller
Boy Kills World

Motel Destino
Dayana lives an abusive marriage with former police officer Elias, owner of Motel Destino. When 21-year-old Heraldo finds himself at the motel after messing up a hit and going on the run, Dayana finds herself intrigued and lets him stay.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is the unlikely sequel to the feature film that placed the characters of this playful and childlike universe into a world of violence and horror. However, don't expect a production as weak as the previous film: with the success of the first installment at the box office, the production had more money to invest, and thus Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 manages to be more realistic, violent, and impressive compared to the first film. The characters' masks are much scarier, and it ceases to be a complete joke. It's still difficult to take the film entirely seriously, especially with this bizarre premise of Pooh and his friends seeking bloody revenge, but you can already feel more fear and, above all, immerse yourself in the wave of violence that the film promotes. To have fun with friends.
