This film is enjoyable if you don't expect too much. Wahlberg is appealing in almost every movie he's been in, and this one is no exception. Crowe and Zeta-Jones are fine in their roles too. Sure the script is a little slow in parts and there are some holes in the plot. But you can't worry too much about plot holes in this kind of movie anyway. The fun is finding out "whodunit" and seeing the bad guys get their due. The ending is a nice touch, by the way. If you like old-fashioned crime dramas, Broken City is good escapism. I've seen way too many movies in the past year or so that were a lot worse than this one.
