It does get a bit hard to follow when a does to b what c wanted to do to d but e got involved with f- you get the idea. Nonetheless, it kept me interested, and did have more twists than a 50s sock hop. Dialogue was a bit muddled at times, which also did not help to follow.
Cons too complex
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie had a lot of potential with good acting and story line, but was limited by poor writing and by another thing that can make a good movie great - the music. There were also a lot of distracting technical errors and dialogs that weren't believable. 'Broken City' had the appearance of a movie made by someone who was either a novice, or someone who just didn't care very much about the final product. It's not a bad movie. Just not as good as it could have been.

"What a tangled web we weave when we are trying to Deceive!!" "Broken City" puts an interesting twist on a "Political Thriller".
Mark Wahlberg plays ex-cop Billy Taggert who knows there is plenty of injustice in the city. After being double-crossed by the one and only Mayor (Russell Crowe) who happens to be the most popular guy in town; Billy has his hands full trying to prove the injustice, get revenge and redemption.
Billy's endless pursuit almost gets him killed, but that isn't going to stop him. The story unfolds from there...
There are several agendas that play out in this movie and that is what makes it interesting. Although there is plenty of suspense and intrigue, the movie could have had a more detailed ending. There were a couple of holes left unfilled. Things are not always as they seem.
The paid critics were "Luke-warm" about "Broken City", but I felt it was pretty good. If you like Political Suspense Thrillers, this is your movie.
Pros well paced, suspenseful
Yes, I recommend this movie.
