As regular readers know, I don’t like watching trailers, but the trailer for Broken City played in front of my screening of Taken 2 and wouldn’t you know, I feel as if I’ve seen all but the last act reveal.
However, today, we’re not talking about the trailer so we can debate whether you should watch it or not another time. For now, you can spend a little time gazing at the poster, which just came online courtesy of IMDb.
The film is directed by Allen Hughes (Book of Eli) and stars Mark Wahlberg as an ex-cop-turned-private detective who is hired by the mayor (Russell Crowe) to see if his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is cheating on him. The private eye confirms those suspicions, and when the mayor’s wife’s cheating partner ends up dead, the private eye immerses himself in the mayor’s business and uncovers a real estate scandal that involves the mayor dealing himself choice city-owned properties.
Broken City also stars Barry Pepper, Jeffrey Wright and Kyle Chandler and hits theaters on January 18.
