'Spenser: Confidential'. Based VERY loosely on the Robert B. Parker novels. Mark Wahlberg as a former cop who, on his release from prison, decides to clean up police corruption in Boston and clear a friend's name.
I've seen worse films in this genre. Wahlberg is a cut above the actors usually cast in roles like this. Nice to see Winston Duke out of his Wakanda gear. Alan Arkin playing what he always plays these days - the irascible old coot.
OK fight scenes, not-too-unbelievable action scenes, decent writing. Chief complaint is that Peter Berg seemed unsure about what kind of a film he wanted to direct.
5.5/10
