Film review: Broken City

Broken City (15)

HH

Dir: Allen Hughes

With: Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe

Runtime: 109 minutes

IF you had to choose two actors suited to a beefy local politics and crime thriller, chances are Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe would be the first names out of the tombola of toughness. But as if to prove films require a little more than big names above the title, along comes Allen Hughes's picture, a film that is not so much broken by a lacklustre script as badly dented.

Contextual targeting label: 
Local government
