Spenser Confidential

Mark Wahlberg is a good Boston cop, who got sent to prison for (I don't remember what - but he was doing the right thing) and has now been released. His plan -- go to truck driving school and drive the country. Before he can leave town, he is pulled back into a corruption circle and he just has to put things right. He has the help of his old boxing coach Alan Arkin (love him) and Arkin's new protege, an angry, vegan, MMA fighter who only gets into the mix because somewhere along the way, a cat was killed. This last little piece gives you a flavor of the mixture of action/slapstick that you are about to watch. Goofy, in the best sense of the word for an action film.
3 stars (out of 5)
