Broken City
Sometimes, having the right ingredients isn’t enough. Throwing together a couple of name actors in a situation their résumés say they should be comfortable in doesn’t necessarily translate to cinema gold. Take, for example, the new crime thriller, Broken City. Principles Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe and Catherine Zeta-Jones all have experience with these sorts of things.
