This dramatic account of a corrupt USA city with corruption at its highest point is slow, tedious and confusing. I fell asleep twice and each time I woke up I see Mark Wahlberg character with a gun. I have no idea what His character is meant to be doing or how/why he is involved.

Very boring movie.

This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen although the competition is tremendous.Most of the irritating things about this movie are it's predictability and a bunch of stereotypes: crooked mayor looking like a Disney's character Pete- from the first appearing he talks, laughs and acts as he want to show how rotten he is,then ruined ex-cop,ex-drunk and a private eye though ( of course),mayor's beautiful but disappointed and unsatisfied,probably,(although enormously rich)-unloved wife.And, of course:secret document that proves mayor's dirty connections with corrupted and greedy construction semi underground lobby.Unlogic plot,crummy dialogs,million times before seen final scenes-this movie really almost made me puke.

This has to be one of the most disappointing movies I have watched in the past few years. I am a big fan of Russell Crowe, Jeffrey Wright and Marky Mark. Unfortunately, this was the most unoriginal and cliché movies of all time...so much wasted potential with the lineup of actors. Wahlberg's acting could only be described as god awful and laughable (especially the scene by the water w/ Zeta Jones). The only good thing about this movie is the potential drinking games you could create while watching this movie. The most obvious would be to have a drink every time one of the lead characters has a drink of whiskey. The director must have had a lot of script pages to fill or Jameson sponsored this movie, because every five minutes someone was drinking whiskey (in the mayor's office, at the bar, at home, in the mayors office again, at the hotel bar, at the mayor's fund raiser, etc.).

The only redeeming part was watching Marky Mark's disgust while watching his girlfriend's "indie film". I actually felt his pain during that scene, but the rest of the movie stunk!

And I don't really have that much intelligence to insult. Yet another film that was obviously written by someone who does nothing but watch movies, probably only really bad movies like this one. A powerful mayor with a hot wife hires a really lousy actor to investigate his wife's infidelity. The lousy actor, played by Mark Wahlberg, almost immediately takes photos that are very close to compromising, bit not really compromising. Why this was so easy to pull off isn't explained because lousy screen writers don't need tp explain anything.

Had the lousy actor/private investigator not been able to produce the not-quite-compromising-but-oh-so-close-to-compromising photos (he had very little time to do this) the story would come apart, not that it holds together even with this incredible suspension of belief.

I turned the movie off at a pivotal scene in which the lousy actor/private detective investigates and blows the whole thing open simply by looking in the trash and peeping in an open window. I wonder how many books and movies would never get off the ground if only people closed their curtains?

Spoilers! Or in this case consider them "reasons to steer clear of this waste of acting talent. How does one swap a dummy cellphone for someone else's, without knowing what make or model it is? It's like Tucker wrote this screenplay in 2000 when all phones were Nokia. You begin to see how implausible this plot is. Then there's "they shot him in the head", but the prior scene clearly showed the victim with a bullet wound to the chest. Then the climatic line "Where did you get your seat covers?" when the following scene reveals there are NO seat overs on the car seats. It's as if the director's shooting script was independent of the writers script. Add this to confusing dialog from unsympathetic characters (not one likable in the bunch) make for one clusterf*ck of a film.
