Capsule review
Mark Wahlberg plays Billy Taggart,
an ex-NYPD officer who is, naturally, down and out.
Fortunately for him, the city’s popular mayor (Russell
Crowe) suspects a man is having an affair with his
wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and hires Billy to investigate. This simple shot at redemption, however, opens
a big can of worms, and Billy responds by opening a
big can of whoop-butt. Rated R. 109 minutes.
