The story, steeped in political intrigue, is compelling and the neo-noir scenes are beautifully shot. The hamfisted screenplay is what ultimately sinks Broken City from being a great piece of cinema, as it can't quite escape its inherent preachiness. There are some committed performances - from Wahlberg and Crowe - but they're bogged down by an overly-talky and cliched screenplay.
