October 5, 2016.
My day started at 5:00 a.m and started to finish the unfinished task I had, I went to high school and attended classes.
I started coming back to do homework and afternoon I went out to eat pizza.
At night I went to my cousin's house to watch some movies at home.
The film is titled '' City of Shadows ''.
CITY OF SHADOWS
A thriller starring Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe and Catherine Zeta-Jones has nothing to distinguish it from other similar films.
We all clear that politics is a complex and opaque game. The interests of more than one level and business name confused with the common good or omit flat eyes of important decisions makers. No dome is safe: from street cop to the mayor of one of the cities emblem of the American Dream, New York.

Allen Hughes (one half of the Hughes brothers, those of Book of Secrets and From Hell) directed and produced the political thriller City of shadow (Broken City), a story of cat and mouse.
Mark Wahlberg plays Billy Taggart, a retired police and alcoholic who has not touched a drink in 7 years, while carrying out the public service. The character is left as -a fact Wahlberg is it easy to be the benefactor of justice and tormented face, almost everyman of American suburban neighborhood. Away from the police for a complicated case, it maintains a low profile as a private investigator. It has a simple office and an ultra efficient, secretary Katy (Alona Tal), who would have been interesting to develop. The business is sinking in debt to a mysterious call from the mayor's office (Russell Crowe), a few days before the local elections: $ $ 50,000 to follow his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and find out who is cheating on him. Easy money.
But nothing is so simple, especially if your client is the most cynical man of the city and is losing in the polls ... A web of suspicion, power games and deception connects to the central characters and complicates the electoral process. Who is most at risk: fair or unfair? Who has the poker aces and who is inflating his pair of fours?
City of shadow meets the objective of keeping the viewer guessing the plot at par (and at certain points a step forward) of its protagonist. And although the film has too many characters, Russell Crowe meets as cold and direct villain, while although Catherine Zeta-Jones has a short engagement, is pleasant. In contrast, Mark Wahlberg is just doing his job, and nothing else.
They all lack a spark that neither the writer (Brian Tucker) and the director were able to find: that something that distinguishes the film and we remove that feeling of having seen it before in a television special on corruption.
