Suspenseful

by krystle.williams05

Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe put on an awesome performance in this suspenseful thriller. I enjoyed the twists and turns of the story and definitely label this movie as a "go see"!!!

Broken City

by dwolfe927

I thought this movie (the storyline) was good, although a little confusing in spots. I appreciated that it was done well, without detailed graphics being done in most of the shootem-ups.

Broken City

by lovemypets

The movie was fine but seriously compromised by the absolutely horrible seats. If the seats hadn't been so bad, then I think I would have enjoyed the movie even more. Two of my favorite actors was hard to pass up! I got a little lost when trying to connect the dots, but, in general, I liked the movie and acting.

Ehh...

by strawberrymlkshk

Broken City was very slow in parts, especially making it to the climax. It was hard to keep up with all of the characters by name because they weren't explained enough or their parts were too insignificant to pay attention to. I was particularly disappointed with the ending - it definitely could've been better. The actors were played pretty well. All in all, I would recommend waiting until it comes to Redbox.

Another New Yorker

by Aerospace747

This movie was really slow and boring, its the same ol same ol, beating up people, etc. It seems like all films about New York City now are just out of line and have gone astray from making the film interesting and fun to watch. Although it shows how powerful ignorant, arrogant, and hypocritical people in power eventually fall into ruins with great humiliation, embarrassment, and distress. Fiction in movies like this are a reality in the real world now a days. Theres no escape for justice, eventually the criminal will get caught. The saying goes "you can run, but you cant hide." Two great actors (Mike Whalberg, and Russell Crowe), however this movie was pointless to watch, I was having doubts about this one before watching it. Its hardly even worth watching it just once if anything at all. The best film that I know of filmed in New York, was "The Interpreter," with Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn.

Broken City

by movies82424

I loved the movie...Mark Wahlberg was perfect in his role...He always plays his part realistically...Russell Crowe was perfect as the corrupt mayor, and Catherine Zeta Jones is beautiful to watch in any role she plays. The story had many twists and turns, but the audience is captured from the beginning to the end of the movie.
Perhaps they could write a sequel to this film, with Mark Wahlberg in prison....

Broken Movie

by Bcutrupi

Broken City is a poorly directed and written movie. They should hand you a flow chart of characters with names and what role they play. It's hard to follow the story line. Wahlberg and Crowe are good actors.but this was not their best movie by far. The rest of the cast are not up to speed with the movie. The story left gaps and the director expects the audience to follow what he is trying to convey. I wouldn't waste my time with this movie. Their were 10 people in the theatre watching this movie when I attended. Save your money and stay home.

Terrific!

by Movie_Buff_86

Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe were terrific in this flick! If you want a movie which will keep you guessing for the whole 2 hours, it is this one. You will need to pay close attention to what is going on, or you will be lost. There will be people stabbing one another in the back, and it us up to the characters to find out who is honest or not. Great movie! Good thriller!

Just OK

by FLASH1465

I have to rate this a B-. It had a great cast and a lot of potential but it didn't quite pop the way I thought it would. It has some suspense and action but I didn't leave feeling satisfied. Not a bad way to spend a couple of hours but not a great way either.
