Broken City (2013)
Directed by Allen Hughes from an original screenplay by Brian Tucker. Watch a trailer for the film below.
Film Synopsis (from the studio): Mark Wahlberg stars as Billy Taggart, a New York City private eye struggling to get his deadbeat clients to pay when he gets a call from Mayor Hostetler (Russell Crowe). His honor remembers Billy from seven years ago when, as a cop, the young man shot a rapist who had been exonerated on a technicality. Back then, the Mayor told Billy he was a hero, but Billy was still forced off the job due to the public outcry and some incriminating evidence that never saw the light of day.
Now the mayor needs someone he can trust to find out if his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is having an affair — a fact that could cause him considerable trouble seeing as Election Day is just a week away. As Billy digs for the truth, he uncovers layers of political corruption, and discovers he himself is nothing more than a pawn in a much bigger game.
Running time: 109 minutes. Rating: Rated R for pervasive language, some sexual content and violence.
