Fixin' the City

Rating: 8/10

The city that never sleeps, New York is full of activity and noise. One night officer Billy Taggart (Mark Wahlberg) is caught up in a shooting incident. He is cleared of all charges and moves on to become a private eye. He is living a solid life and moved on until he is brought back by his old boss, and Mayor Hostetler (Russell Crowe) to look into some personal business as he is fighting a neck and neck campaign for re- election. The Mayor is popular, has a beautiful wife Cathleen Hostetler (Catherine Zeta-Jones), and a good track record, seems to be on top of his game until his challengers decides to play hard ball and rattle the campaign. This movie is fast moving and suspenseful, where you get to see the blurred lines between the good and bad guys. Lots of good dark scenes with fast moving action, the talented cast makes for a suspense filled tale. Movie star actor Mark Wahlberg made an appearance at a sneak peek in Atlanta at Atlantic Station, shared with me that "he loves Atlanta and looks forward to working here." A remarkable biography himself, Wahlberg embodies how you can remake yourself no matter what circumstances you are in. He was all smiles and worked the crowd with a friendly disposition.
