#53 Broken City (2013)

Directed by: Allen Hughes
Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe, Catherine Zeta-Jones

Broken City has some big name actors and actresses and promised quite a lot. Unfortunately, while there is some good here, the script ruins what could have been a fine political thriller.

It holds together reasonably well and generally, there are good performances from the leads. The problem is that the material they are working with is extremely poor and some of the scenes seem to have just been stuck in as an after thought.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend this, but it's certainly entertaining and an easy watch. The big name actors scrape enough together to avoid it being disastrous.
