I couldn't resist:
The way movies are rated now, should be how we rate other experiences, becasue it is the truth according to certain people. As human experience is often similar these types of criticism are necessary to keep life in perspective. Please fill out this poll and rate Centurion Auction Services or Auction Mart.
I feel sorry for this movie it got 83% of the people who saw it hated it. Wow!!!
Rate Centurion Below are they as Bad as A Broken City?

Did these people - or even these people's people - not bother to read the script first?

It is going to take more than a few A-list actors to improve this "Broken City".

Broken City has many good individual ideas and elements, but they never add up to a thoroughly satisfying whole. Thanks to a fine cast though, the finished product lands a bare few inches above mediocrity.

At no point during the film was there a shred of doubt in my mind about where things would end up.

with half of the Hughes Brothers, you end up with less than half of a film

How low can Russell Crowe and Mark Wahlberg go? This is one filmic limbo that hits the floor with a dull thud.

If you need a pithy, Twitter-ready review for Broken City it would be "Forget it Jake, it's not Chinatown."

Broken City is only worthwhile for die-hard fans of the actors involved or those who don't need a clear narrative to enjoy a gritty odyssey through the NYC underbelly.

Broad, splashy pieces of easily digestible narrative, visual and character components, but at least they provide an easy ride into a cheesy, lazily imagined New York political scandal.

For nearly two hours, "Broken City" keeps us guessing as to the outcome, and for a mid-winter escape, there's nothing wrong with that.

It is not that Broken City -- boasting a cast worth big expectations -- is bad, exactly. But it is deeply mediocre. When they say television dramas are getting the better of the movies, this is the sort of middling outing that proves it.

Stars Wahlberg, Crowe and Zeta-Jones give yeomen's effort to fleshing out their respective characters but those characters lack dimension.

Broken City is one of those movies in which characters keep reminding you that nothing is what it seems, and sure enough, there's more going on here than mere infidelity. But the audience is hard-pressed to follow exactly what it is.

The film is a collection of crime noir oddments that don't add up to a full meal.

A more-than-pleasant change from the month's parade of horror films and trash comedies.
