Spenser Confidential
トーク情報- yotogusan
yotogusan The movie begins super serious. I knew nothing about this movie before I began watching it so I had zero expectations, I didn't even know the genre, but it starts off like a SUPER serious crime drama & then dives into a typical jokey, 2 Guns style Wahlberg picture. It was odd to say the least, it just didn't feel right, immediately I was unsettled.

yotogusan Winston Duke (Hawk) felt absolutely empty, like he had no business being in the movie. You could have re-wrote the screenplay & written out his role in about 30 minutes, plus there was zero chemistry between him & Wahlberg. I don't think it was entirely Dukes fault, there wasn't enough in the script for him to really evolve, he felt kinda like some guy who's just finished university & landed a movie role by some absolute fluke. I felt like I was high whenever he popped up on screen, you remember when you used to smoke out & you'd analyse movies in really odd ways, that's how he made me feel.

yotogusan Characters aren't balanced at all, it's like, Oh hey Alan Arkin. And he's gone for an hour. Who even was he? A parole officer? For a while I was convinced he was Wahlbergs dad & I was waiting for him to call him by that label at some point, thinking it was being withheld to make the audience go "ooohhh" maybe my attention lapsed when his character was introduced, I don't think so though.

yotogusan It feels like a TV movie, it feels like a Netflix movie, at times it feels like a movie, some fight scenes will make you feel sick with how fast the shots are chopped, I tried counting at one point, there's a scene in a Mexican restaurant where each shot lasts less than half a second for about 30 seconds, it's extremely difficult to focus on and get any enjoyment out of the fight choreography, I felt asif Peter Berg got Paul Greengrass to shoot the fight scenes for a moment.

yotogusan Idk, this film is so odd, I think it needs to be witnessed, it's ugly, it's super digital, characters don't gel well, entire characters feel like they had no reason for even being in the film, its just, almost impossible to put into words, I feel like changing my rating to a 3/10...
