Broken City is passable, occasionally entertaining but ultimately uninspiring.

The picture comes out swinging with both a conscience and a set of brass knuckles; it also features a Russell Crowe who doesn't, thankfully, sing. What's not to love?

A complete mess, this drama is packed with sophomoric political ideas, unfocused storylines and inane dialogue.

Broken City may not be the most original film, but it's a good-looking and lightly entertaining one.

the screenplay, filled with hackneyed implausibilities and trite characterization, constantly lets everyone down

Most of the roles are so ambiguous you end up scratching your head in the final reel, and some of the loose ends are so irrelevant they seem to have ended up on the cutting-room floor.
