With Mark Wahlberg, Winston Duke, Alan Arkin, Iliza Shlesinger. Directed by Peter Berg. When two Boston police officers are murdered, ex-cop Spenser teams up with his no-nonsense roommate, Hawk, to take down criminals. From director Peter Berg, SPENSER CONFIDENTIAL is an action-comedy co … When two of Spenser's former colleagues turn up murdered, he recruits Hawk and his foul-mouthed ex-girlfriend, Cissy (Iliza Shlesinger), to help him investigate and bring the culprits to justice. Given that background, it's perhaps most useful to think of Spenser Confidential like a TV movie.
Spenser (Mark Wahlberg) -- an ex-cop better known for making trouble than solving it -- just got out of prison and is leaving Boston for good. Spenser is resilient.
