The best I can say about his performance is he seems stoked to be there! Personally, I had way more fun with this than I expected. Spenser was born and grew up in Laramie, Wyoming[2] and is a Boston private eye in the mold of Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe, a smart-mouthed tough guy with a heart of gold. © Letterboxd Limited. Well, your time would be better spent there. Spenser is a fictional character in a series of detective novels initially by the American mystery writer Robert B. Parker and later by Ace Atkins. SYNOPSIS: When two Boston police officers are murdered, ex-cop Spenser teams up with his no-nonsense roommate, Hawk, to take down criminals. for violence, language throughout and sexual content. An African American, Hawk is an equally tough but somewhat shady echo of Spenser himself. If you want a Mark Wahlberg action movie then Spenser Confidential delivers that. Spenser Confidential 2020 R 1h 51m Mysteries Spenser, an ex-cop and ex-con, teams up with aspiring fighter Hawk to uncover a sinister conspiracy tied to the deaths of two Boston police officers.

Sein übliches Ego-Theater, du weißt schon.“, Netflix: „Ja ganz easy, nix Besonderes..der Plot kann so banal sein, dass sich selbst die Drehbuchautoren von „Law & Order“ richtig talentiert dagegen fühlen würden. "not of woman born" as Parker has Spenser put it; he was raised by his father and his two maternal uncles. In 1992, Spenser started regularly carrying a Browning Hi-Power 9mm semi-automatic pistol. Frank Belson was played by J. Winston Carroll. Alan Arkin can do the crotchety old man character in his sleep but it's still a joy to watch him do it. The inescapable doofiness that goes hand-in-hand with his cockiness is weaponized for cutting comedy. Absolutely the laziest, cheapest-looking, most ineffectual backdoor TV pilot disguised as a franchise starter since JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT. The universe depicted in the TV episodes and movies diverges from that in the novels, though many of the filmed presentations are based on, and named after, novels in the series. The only bit where Duke truly shines is when Wahlberg is absent. There, Wahlberg's wide-eyed aggression is employed as a tool to satirize American masculinity and its toxicity. It's a paper-thin role of the nagging bitch that exists purely to tease cleavage and be a pain in the ass to the harried hero. Also, it doesn’t work if the movie drops hints to let the audience figure stuff out AND make big reveals early on at the same time. Wow, thank you Netflix. He took up boxing, and met Hawk, a tough man skilled with firearms and Henry Cimoli, the owner of a gym where Spenser and Hawk still work out.

In the novel The Widening Gyre, Spenser carried a .25 caliber semiautomatic as a back up, and had it in his hand when confronted by two assassins - killing both. This was an incompetent mess from start to finish. Minus the greatest hits part.

It's a cheap laugh, but his annoyance seems genuine. I hope he does more. IMDb But from the guy who claimed he could have prevented 9/11 if only he'd "been on that plane," it's hardly surprising that Wahlberg was drawn to the role. No information was released as to whether this would commence a fourth regular series for Parker before his death in January 2010. Among his other police contacts are Sergeant Frank Belson and Detective Lee Farrell, both homicide investigators under Quirk's command; Healy, a captain of the Massachusetts State Police; and Mark Samuelson, an LAPD lieutenant (later promoted to captain, as mentioned in Back Story). With Mark Wahlberg, Winston Duke, Alan Arkin, Iliza Shlesinger. Vernon Ave. Loudonville, OH 44842 Her Boston accent is as thick as the city's clam chowder. A good one or a bad one? On the fence about Wahlberg as Spenser, but not the worst choice. His shining moment is when he hassles some kidnappers about needing to pee. I got like 30 minutes into this and shut it off. (Author Parker has been photographed on the Spenser series dustjackets with a dog matching his description of the Pearls.) No surprises when it comes to plot so it's up to the cast to make it entertaining and they do a sufficient job. And an inspired choice to cast comedian Iliza Shlesinger as his girlfriend (although she's not given much to do besides nag him). Watching Winston Duke play second fiddle to Wahlberg is like watching Hendrix play keyboards in Nickelback. When a two cops turn up dead, one of whom is the one Spenser assaulted, he suspects foul play. I liked seeing Winston Duke. I present to you episode 5 of Wahl-Berg's Greatest Hits! Noah Baumbach made "Marriage Story." Directed by Peter Berg. Mobile site. Aber das ist nur ein Gimmick, weil davon sieht man nie etwas ist.…, A far cry from the previous four movies that Mark Wahlberg and director Peter Berg have made together (the two men Voltron-ing into a single creative entity that will henceforth be referred to as “WahlBerg”), the hilariously titled “Spenser Confidential” is a high-testosterone action thriller about a red-blooded, blue-collared, perpetually open-mouthed American patriot who decides to take matters into his own hands when some bad guys besmirch the good name of these United States. [10] However, by the time of the novel Pastime, Spenser states that his mother died during labor and he was delivered via Caesarean section, i.e. Mit ner Verschwörung, die so idiotisch ist, dass sie gleichzeitig hohl und trotzdem wirr ist.“.

Sam is from Dallas, Texas. -- Eats lobster. Rated R Spenser injured his knee and dropped out because he didn't have the funds to complete his schooling. Duke and Wahlberg's chemistry is so non-existent it almost seems like they shot every scene separately then cut it together in post. Susan Silverman is Sunny Randall's psychologist in Melancholy Baby. I’m just really not in the mood to put myself through an hour and a half of something i knew by the first 5 minutes I wasn’t going to like. As the opening of this flummoxing film reveals, his rules include beating the hell out of a commanding officer because you suspect he beats his wife. marky mark doesn't really bring anything to this role but watching him beat up post malone, wise-crack some dirty cops with duke and arkin and uncover a local conspiracy of machete-wielding drug dealers with marc maron on a boat? Love the Spenser books, entertaining update of the stories. some of the music cues alone should be jail for everyone involved. Then he gently but mightily helps the boy put his room back together. With deep pockets and the promise of creative freedom, Netflix has been luring noted directors away from Hollywood studios to create their dream projects. Silverman, originally a high school guidance counselor, continues to assist Spenser in his cases after becoming a Harvard-trained Ph.D. psychologist. Stand-up comic Iliza Shlesinger plays Spenser's girlfriend Cissy. If predictability and blockbustery one-liners are such a turn-off, how come that the Fate of the Furious got a better average rating? Scotch is Spenser's drink of celebration. Parker and his wife Joan co-wrote the first two screenplays. I wouldn't have been able to figure that one out on my own. Parker never explained the inconsistencies.[11]. series that apparently this film is based on, but it definitely didn't do it any justice judging…. And Peter Berg made "Spenser Confidential," an insipid buddy-cop mystery that feels like a forgotten artifact of the 1980s. Post Malone, Iliza Shlesinger, Bokeem Woodbine and Donald Cerrone also appear. Spenser and Hawk live in the same Boston literary universe as Parker's other, newer series characters: private investigator Sunny Randall and small town police chief Jesse Stone, the former of whom was possibly mentioned in passing as a blonde jogging with an English bull terrier (named Rosie in the Randall novels) while the latter had a much larger role in Back Story. Much of the cast can't even get up the energy to care about this lackluster movie. Haha, ja genau. Either Berg let her improvise left and right, or she's the only performer who managed to bring life to Sean O'Keefe and Brian Helgeland's limp script. Report this film, Netflix: „Hey Peter, wir brauchen nen Cop Krimi nach Schema F, aber mit Mark Wahlberg, der wie üblich alle anbrüllt und dann halt so lustige Sachen sagt.
