Nothing exactly special about this film. It is the typical Mark Wahlberg actioner, and directed by Peter Berg whom they made several great films together (Lone Survivor, Patriots Day), we knew somewhat what to expect. This is an upgrade from the underwhelming Mile 22.
However knowing that this film went directly to Netflix rather than theaters like their previous collaborations, the expectations shouldn't be as high.
With an interesting premise (had no knowledge of the original material) Spenser Confidential does what it's intended to. Deliver an engaging enough plot, some thrills and action, sone typical comic relief. Well likened characters.
It started off relatively well then dragged a little in the middle but finished solidly. Perhaps just a one time watch but that isn't exactly a bad thing.
