Broken city is an interesting film full of political scandal and intrigue, but the trouble is this film would not be out of place had it been released in the mid 90's. It certainly does not feel fresh and new, it felt like I was watching something from the 1990's
That said Russell Crowe puts in a decent performance as the Mayor, and probably a better performance than Wahlberg in the leading role, Zeta Jones is cast well in a fairly typical understated Zeta Jones role, where her character is a little bit secretive and mysterious, and you never feel like you know what her real motives are.
The fact that it is disappearing from my cinema after just a week suggests it has not done to well at the box office, but on the whole this is worth a watch, It's not the sort of film where I came out wanting my 2 hours back, Just don't expect it to be breaking new ground 7/10
