In New York City, detective Billy Taggart goes to court for the murder of the suspected rapist Mikey Tavarez, but the Mayor Nicholas Hostetler and the Chief of Police Carl Fairbanks make the important evidence vanish and the case against Billy is dismissed by the judge; however, he is forced to leave the police department. Seven years later, Billy is a private detective and lives with his girlfriend Natalie Barrow, who is an aspiring actress and the sister of Mikey's suspected victim.Billy's secretary Katy Bradshaw (Alona Tal) is trying to collect part of the debts to save their business. In the week of the elections, Hostetler summons Billy and offers $25,000 to investigate his wife, Cathleen Hostetler, whom he believes is having a love affair. Billy discovers that Cathleen is meeting Paul Andrews, who is the coordinator of the campaign for Jack Valliant, the opponent of Hostetler and favorite in the election. When Paul is found dead on the street, Billy thinks that he has been double-crossed by Hostetler and he decides to investigate the truth behind Paul's murder.
Leave your thoughts about Broken City.
| NPRMark JenkinsAs an investigation into American municipal corruption, Broken City is, well, damaged. But as an opportunity for hard-boiled types to trade threats, blows and caustic banter, this modern-day noir works reasonably well. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyHow low can Russell Crowe and Mark Wahlberg go? This is one filmic limbo that hits the floor with a dull thud. |
| honeycuttshollywood.comKirk HoneycuttThe movie's strategy is to smear all its characters with a taint of corruption; it turns New York into a city so broken that no character is without moral culpability. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaWahlberg does what Wahlberg does, bringing muscular conviction to his troubled, tough-guy role. The city may be broken, but the movie star's formula is working fine. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA thrill-free, strangely sluggish political potboiler. |
| Film.comStephanie ZacharekIf Broken City – the first film to be directed solo by Allen Hughes, one-half of the Hughes Brothers directing team – is a little flawed and cracked itself, it still squeaks by as a reasonably thoughtful piece of big-screen entertainment. |
| Seattle TimesJohn HartlDid "Broken City" have to be quite so dull and humorless and artificial? |
| Movie ChambersPaul ChambersAn excellent cast, but what a turkey. "Broken City" wallows in its terrible plotting. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordStars Wahlberg, Crowe and Zeta-Jones give yeomen's effort to fleshing out their respective characters but those characters lack dimension. |
| Television Without PityEthan AlterA solid, if unexceptional, urban crime yarn. |
