Review of Broken City (2013) by Will A — 14 Mar 2013
It wasn't a bad movie overall, but it wasn't all that good. Sure, there are a couple of twists that you (almost) weren't expecting, but the movie is really just another send-up of political backroom chess, demonstrating how broken the system truly is.
Who's the pawn? Who's really in charge? What's really going on? The mystery helps keep it afloat, but only after you find out half-way through the movie that you were watching a mystery in the first place.
It's a dark film about a dark subject, played by dark characters. I wouldn't say I was rooting for anyone in particular, but I definitely was rooting against the mayor. I'm glad I waited for the value cinema to show it.
