Nice thriller about a mayoral election in New York and corrupt deals with a project developer. Story is not very original and protagonists seem a bit dull.
Haven't been this impressed with Russell Crowe in quite some time. I liked him in Gladiator and also in The Insider but that was a while ago.
The film does look fast to the end and never really gets boring. Enough.

“There are some wars you fight and some wars you walk away from. This isn't the fighting kind.”
Broken City brings together an impressive list of actors. It doesn't immediately make for a great movie, but Wahlberg, Crowe, Zeta-Jones, Wright, Pepper, Chandler and Tal make it more fun to watch. The scenes between Zeta-Jones and Crowe, and those between Wahlberg and Tal, are especially strong. Excellent chemistry, with a script that is predictable and unnecessarily complicated, but works as a crime story. Corruption, murder, fraud, extortion, adultery, etc. The well-known song. But with such actors (Crowe especially is looking forward to it) it is not a punishment to watch.

Fairly mediocre crime thriller, which was quite tense across the board. Really solid TV movie quality.
