Bottom
Line: A snail-paced, convoluted and contrived
wannabe-political potboiler that’s only semi-saving grace is the involvement of
a playing-drunk Wahlberg, a not-singing Crowe and the occasional need to
feel like you should probably be paying attention… You can try, like me, to assemble the puzzle
– but with so many missing pieces – so little intrigue – you’ll ultimately end
up wondering what enticed this A-list of actors to go slumming in January fodder. It’s dull, clichéd and teems with a slew of unresolved
plotlines, unimaginative dialogue and uninteresting characters. BROKEN CITY is unfortunately beyond repair.
