Broken City Review: The ridicules end
After a long time of having the DVD of Broken City stashed
somewhere i completely forgot about, finally I found the time to check it out. Most of my Broken City movie experience was positive. Mark
Wahlberg had his average
performance portraying a former cop with alcohol problems.The movie starts with Billy Taggart (Mark
Wahlberg) being trialed for killing some criminal. Right after that we jump 7
years into the future to check up on Billy who is a private investigator with a
hot and simultaneously funny assistant Katy Bradshaw (Alona Tal). Billy is
hired by the Mayor of the Broken City (Russell Crowe) to find out who is
screwing his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) all this is happening in middle
of reelection campaign. Billy finds the dude (Paul Andrews) that is too
"friendly" with the Meir's wife and soon after we find Paul Andrews (Kyle
Chandler) dead with a bullet in his head in an alley.
Until this point I was really enjoying
Broken City but right after Billy finds out that he was tricked into something
that was a lot bigger than he imagined it to be. I got really frustrated with
the direction Billy decided to go. Suddenly the guy grew a conscious, the dude
receives a check for 25000$ and he rips it because he feels that somebody made
a number on him and hurt his feelings, this is ridicules. Billy decides that
his mission in life from that point forward is taking out the Mayor. why would
you go up against the most powerful man in the city, your ego suffered a fatal
blow that you go and make a professional and personnel suicide. It’s not like
Billy and Paul were friends, those two had one conversation in a train.
It’s just stuff like that make my blood
boil. The guy decides to go to prison (a former cop in prison he will have a
great time there) just to make a point and screw the Mayoir. What can I say great
plan Billy. the funny thing about all that is that the douche bag Billy took
out 7 years ago in cold blood was responsible for the rape and murder of the
sister of the chika Billy was dating so he did that to impress her but she
dumps his dumb ass during her artistic movie (= Er0tic movie) premier after
Billy drinks too much and tries to kick some gay actors ass. Now it seems like Billy
lost his job (being a cop) and his freedom for ... nothing. Natalie Barrow (Natalie
Martinez) dumped him after 7 years, but no worries just before he is taken to serve
god knows how long in prison his assistant Katy Bradshaw will be waiting for
him. Give me a break this is completely retarded.
I liked how this movie progressed and it
was shaping to be a cool movie but you had to kill it towards the end with this
stupid hero acts that nobody in his right mind will buy.
