I'm not sure why I watched this, it was quite boring but was also pretty much what I expected from watching the trailer on Netflix. I guess I just like to be open to those shows that we often overlook but are hidden gems.

Spenser Confidential offers absolutely nothing new. There are no moments in the film where the acting, script, film making ever surprises you with something special. I assume this film was entirely made in an effort to make money from people who like action films and Mark Wahlberg. This was not someone's passion project that they had to push to get made. This is a film that is in my view, less than the sum total of it's parts. There is not much that is specifically wrong with the movie as everything is, for the type of film that it is, just enough but the apparent motivation of the film makers and production company, mean that there is nothing more to it. Many films are made for money on some level but being the type of collaborative process that it is, people still find space to be creative.
