Review of Spenser Confidential (2020) by Onlyonewing — 25 Jul 2020

If you're looking for a fun movie to burn about two hours watching, go for it. But IMO it's neither a good action movie nor a good comedy. It feels like a made for TV movie. I won't spoil anything, but there are just so many plot holes and things that don't make sense in the movie. I had to wonder if it was laziness, very dry humor or just the creators assuming that the audience would be too dumb to notice.

If Mark Wahlberg wasn't the lead actor, it wouldn't be worth watching. But Mark Wahlberg adds his usual flare to the movie, so it somehow remains enjoyable despite bland acting from basically everyone else with the exception of the blonde woman(Iliza Shlesinger). She was definitely the comic relief, her character and lines made me laugh pretty hard. This honestly would've been a better movie if they just made it a romance comedy rather than whatever the hell the nonsensical plot was supposed to be.
