What kind of movie is this?

"What kind of film is this?" This is the only feeling I have to endure watching this film for more than an hour and a half. The first five minutes was the beginning of incomprehension. The strange description made me never understand what the two protagonists were doing. Every minute after that, I watched with the thought of "maybe the next shot will have a surprise", but I can only keep this thought in the next minute, and that's it, an hour and a half passed. Maybe it's our lack of understanding of American-style political struggles, or maybe the film's rhythm and narrative techniques are too vain, which makes me really sleepy. As for why the dark forest deterrence between the two sides will end in the mayor’s failure, I have never figured it out. And in the last scene of the film, does it mean that the investigator and classmate ran away? In short, what kind of film is this tm!

    Tough guy detectives should be with their female assistants

    I watched it for the cast, the old-fashioned political conspiracy theme, nothing new.

Broken City quotes

  • Mayor Hostetler: You know, women call men dogs. That's to suggest we're somehow untrustworthy or disloyal. But a dog is anything but. And if men are dogs, what the goddamn hell does that make women? You've ever seen a bitch in heat? She will grind herself across the grass to try and get her that itch. And she can find a way to sneak out of the backyard, as any dog will do.

  • Billy Taggart: Doesn't anybody in this town speak in complete fuckin' sentences anymore?
