Review of Broken City (2013)

By John Hartl (735) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 17 Jan 2013

Did Broken City have to be quite so dull and humorless and artificial…

Review of Broken City (2013)

By Matt Pais (1,519) for RedEye (906) on 17 Jan 2013

Like Billy, the movie means well but isn't that smart. Unlike Hostetler, Broken City shows little interest in getting its hands dirty…

Review of Broken City (2013)

By Andrew Schenker (354) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 17 Jan 2013

Allen Hughes may suggest an air of pretty menace, but he does little to make the sequence work as a legible genre scene…

Review of Broken City (2013)

By Josh Bell (1,421) for Las Vegas Weekly (1,340) on 17 Jan 2013

There's nothing actively offensive about Broken City, but there's nothing memorable or interesting about it, either…

Review of Broken City (2013)

By Marshall Fine (1,011) for Hollywood & Fine (854) on 17 Jan 2013

isn't awful, just kind of pale and predictable..It's got a big wind-up - but not much on the ball…

Review of Broken City (2013)

By Manohla Dargis (1,909) for The New York Times (9,847) on 17 Jan 2013

Hughes visual choices can feel borrowed and clichéd, but his regard for beauty often compensates for his blunders, as does the sturdy, reliable…

Review of Broken City (2013)

By Lou Lumenick (2,103) for New York Post (6,650) on 17 Jan 2013

To put it as positively as possible, there's never a dull moment in this flick - and that's not something you can take for granted at this…

Review of Broken City (2013)

By M. E. Russell (386) for Portland Oregonian (2,019) on 17 Jan 2013

Quality-wise, the crime drama Broken City lives in a frustrating mid-range area: It's too complex and competently crafted to dismiss as junk…

Review of Broken City (2013)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 17 Jan 2013

There are plot twists galore, but they unfold in ham-fisted fashion, as if the screenwriter (newbie Brian Tucker) didn't know how to layer…

Review of Broken City (2013)

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for TheWrap (3,203) on 16 Jan 2013

A movie with Lumet-ian aspirations which, like the corrupt NYC mayor at its center, can barely handle the weight of its own ambitions…

Review of Broken City (2013)

By Nick Nunziata (53) for CHUD (345) on 16 Jan 2013

Not meaty enough or unique enough to register as anything other than a couple of hours of unspectacular cinema…

Review of Broken City (2013)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 16 Jan 2013

In spite of some punchy scenes, crackling dialogue, and fine performances, Broken City is hopelessly overmatched…

Review of Broken City (2013)

By Justin Chang (1,535) for Variety (12,700) on 16 Jan 2013

Competent but juiceless New York melodrama, an unpersuasive marriage of head-slamming action and middling civic intrigue that treats issues…

Review of Broken City (2013)

By Todd Mccarthy (1,810) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 16 Jan 2013

Would have made for a fine film noir 60 years ago but feels rather contrived and unbelievable in the setting of contemporary New York…
