Spenser Confidential
Eager to get out of Boston and start a new life when he's released after five years in prison for aggravated assault, Spenser (Mark Wahlberg) just can't quite make the break in SPENSER CONFIDENTIAL. First, his mentor and friend, Henry Cimoli (Alan Arkin) wants Spenser's help in training a young boxer, Hawk (Winston Duke), with terrific potential. Plus, the corrupt police chief whom Spenser beat up is murdered the very day Spenser gets out. Events continue to pile up and keep him in Beantown, especially when a young cop whom Spenser knows to be clean "kills himself" and is outed as the police chief's killer. No longer employed by the city, Spenser feels responsible to Henry and can't help but want to clear up the mystery of both deaths. So, he puts his dream of being a long-haul truck driver on hold, continues an erratic relationship with his old girlfriend, and sets about to right an abundance of wrongs.
