I caught the following trailer for Broken City in front of my screening of Taken 2 and I feel as if there is little left to learn after watching it. Granted, a lot of what is seen can be gleaned from the synopsis so perhaps I’m overestimating how much it actually gives away, but maybe you’d like to decide.
Here’s the synopsis:
Mark Wahlberg plays 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.
The film is directed by Allen Hughes (The Book of Eli), co-stars Barry Pepper, Jeffrey Wright and Kyle Chandler and will hit theaters on January 18.
Check out the trailer below.
