When two Boston police officers are murdered, ex-cop Spenser teams up with his no-nonsense roommate, Hawk, to take down criminals. Technical Specs, See agents for this cast & crew on IMDbPro, Boxing Trainer Spenser Confidential is a 2020 American action comedy film directed by Peter Berg and with a screenplay written by Sean O'Keefe and Brian Helgeland.The film stars Mark Wahlberg, Winston Duke, Alan Arkin, Iliza Shlesinger, Bokeem Woodbine, Donald Cerrone, Marc Maron, and Post Malone and marks the fifth collaboration between Wahlberg and Berg after Lone Survivor, Deepwater Horizon, Patriots … The version of Spenser that Wahlberg embodies — a former boxer and belligerent ex-cop whose righteous code of honor was a bad fit for the Boston Police Department — was stripped of his badge and sentenced to five years in prison for assaulting a crooked BPD captain (Michael Gaston). (as Jeffrey Bouffard), Construction Worker It’s a familiar cliché for such movies to show the territory-establishing fight that greets a tough guy’s arrival behind bars, but “Spenser Confidential” picks up on the day its title character is meant to be released, and it’s only then that he’s set up by a soft-spoken fellow inmate (rapper Post Malone, unnerving in a small role) and jumped by the biggest goons in his block. That seems like a pretty radical career change — really just an excuse to introduce a monster semi truck named Black Betty for the finale — but before he can get packed, the BPD superior he assaulted all those years earlier turns up dead in a grisly hit. Other detectives could surely proceed without needing quite so many stitches, but it’s part of Wahlberg’s hardheaded charm that he seeks out confrontation.

I wouldn’t hesitate to claim, however, that “Spenser Confidential” is a more entertaining watch than Scorsese’s own made-for-Netflix offering, “The Irishman.” Let’s put it this way: The two movies were made for very different audiences. In one scene, staking out the mani-pedi salon his suspect uses as a front, Spenser describes the guy as an “Irish mob throwback, back when the Irish mob existed outside all those sh—ty movies.” It’s an amusing dig coming from an actor who appeared in “The Departed,” although no one would argue that Berg has made a better film. We'll assume you're ok with this, but you can opt-out if you wish. Demo Worker
