20th Century Fox has released a new trailer for director Allen Hughesâ (The Book of Eli) political thriller Broken City. The film stars Mark Wahlberg as a private detective who is hired to identify the lover of a powerful politicianâs wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones), with Russell Crowe playing the shady politician.  This trailer focuses quite a bit more on the film's plot, teasing an enticing power play between Wahlberg and Crowe's characters.  We also see a bit more of Zeta-Jones' character, though her intentions aren't entirely made clear.  The real draw, though, seems to the face-off between Wahlberg and Crowe, and I'm eager to see the two go toe-to-toe when the full film hits theaters.Hit the jump to watch the trailer and here's our recent interview with Wahlberg for the film. The film also stars Jeffrey Wright. Broken City opens on January 18th.Hereâs the official synopsis for Broken City:
In a broken city rife with injustice, ex-cop Billy Taggart (Mark Wahlberg) seeks redemptionâand revengeâafter being double-crossed and then framed by its most powerful figure, the mayor (Russell Crowe). Billyâs relentless pursuit of justice, matched only by his streetwise toughness, makes him an unstoppable forceâand the mayorâs worst nightmare.
