First Poster for Crime Thriller Broken City

It's been well over a year since we had any news on the crime thriller Broken City, but today we have the first, if rather minimalist, poster for the film (right; click for larger image). The tagline: "Proof can be a powerful weapon."

The storyline follows Billy Taggart (Mark Wahlberg), an ex-cop-now-PI, who is hired by the city's corrupt mayor (Russell Crowe) to spy on the mayor's wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones), who he suspects is cheating on him. Taggart is able to confirm the suspicions when he discovers the mayor's wife has been having an affair, but the situation becomes more serious when he also learns that the the man she's been sleeping with has been murdered.

Directed by Allen Hughes from an original screenplay by Brian Tucker, Broken City opens in theaters January 18th, 2013.
