Spenser Confidential (2020) Un Classico Poliziesco Due-Contro-Tutti in Salsa Contemporanea Spenser Confidential (2020) Un classico poliziesco due-contro-tutti in salsa contemporanea. Un film di Peter Berg con Mark Wahlberg, Alan Arkin, Colleen Camp, Bokeem Woodbine, Winston Duke, Iliza Shlesinger, Michael Gaston, Marc Maron, Post Malone, Cassie Ventura. Genere Drammatico Produzione USA 2020. Un ex criminale di nome Spenser ritorna negli inferi violenti di Boston per svelare una contorta cospirazione omicida. Giorgio Crico - www.mymovies.it Spenser è un ex poliziotto appena uscito dal carcere, dov'era finito a causa di una macchinazione a suoi danni che puntava a screditarlo completamente: oltre a fargli perdere la divisa, infatti, è stato appunto incastrato al punto tale da finire in prigione per toglierlo di mezzo dopo aver scoperto le ramificazioni di un cartello della droga. Riaccolto in casa sua dal suo ex istruttore di boxe, il caustico e anziano Henry, Spenser si ritrova a dover dividere la stanza con il nuovo protetto del suo vecchio mentore: il talento afroamericano Hawk. Mentre lo strano trio inizia ad abituarsi alla sua nuova vita insieme, però, ha luogo un misterioso omicidio direttamente legato ai fatti che hanno portato in prigione Spenser: l'ex poliziotto si decide così a fare finalmente luce sul narcotraffico cittadino e le sue implicazioni all'interno dello stesso corpo di polizia. Dietro alla macchina da presa troviamo Peter Berg, al suo quinto film consecutivo con Mark Wahlberg come protagonista. Di fatto, è uno dei sodalizi più stabili di Hollywood nonché uno dei più prolifici, visto che tutti e cinque questi titoli sono stati prodotti nell'arco di meno di otto anni. Berg è un esperto regista di film action ma questa è la sua prima prova con un poliziesco "puro": 'Boston - Caccia all'uomo' è infatti un film talmente sui generis da non poter essere classificato davvero come tale. 'Spenser Confidential' invece è un buddy cop movie in piena regola anche se, curiosamente, nessuno dei due protagonisti è un agente delle forze dell'ordine."Spenser non sopporta l'ingiustizia, non può sopportare di vedere gente innocente subire torti: è proprio nel suo DNA. E quindi mette il naso dove non dovrebbe, il che lo porta a essere preso a pugni, di solito, ma è quel tipo di persona lì" ha dichiarato Mark Wahlberg. Prodotto da Netflix e pubblicato sulla celebre piattaforma streaming, il film è scritto da Sean O'Keefe e Brian Helgeland: quest'ultimo in particolare è famoso per aver firmato, tra le altre, le sceneggiature di 'L. A. Confidential' e 'Mystic River', film apprezzatissimi dalla critica e pluripremiati. Detto di Mark Wahlberg, protagonista in uno dei suoi classici ruoli da duro col cuore d'oro, il resto del cast annovera al suo interno soprattutto il grande caratterista Alan Arkin, ormai un decano del movie business visto che veleggia oltre gli 85 anni e conta circa sessanta film in carriera, e l'attore di origini trinidadiane Winston Duke, nato come interprete teatrale e approdato al cinema relativamente tardi benché attualmente sia in grande ascesa (lo abbiamo visto in diverse produzioni Marvel e in 'Noi', di Jordan Peele). Infine, c'è Iliza Shlesinger nei panni di Cissy, la ex fidanzata di Spenser. copyright© 2000- 2021 MYmovies.it® - Mo-Net S.r.l. - [email protected].

    FREE THE PROFESSIONAL (A SPENSER MYSTERY) PDF Robert B. Parker | 304 pages | 02 Jul 2010 | Quercus Publishing | 9781849162234 | English | London, United Kingdom Spenser - Book Series In Order I turned 47 in February, so it was high time for a mid-life crisis. Rather than searching for an inappropriately young girlfriend or impulse buying a European sports car, I read all the books by Robert B. Parker starring Spenser, the tough but fair Boston private eye who saves lost souls and kills bad guys with the help with his girlfriend, refined therapist Susan Silverman, and his partner, the fashionable and street-wise Hawk. InRobert B. Both Marlowe and Spenser were Elizabethan poets. The Godwulf Manuscript was a hit, and Parker would go on to write 38 more Spenser books credited with helping revive and define the genre. The novels of Agatha Christie The Professional (A Spenser Mystery) Rex Stout are still around, dated as they may be, while someone like Erle Stanley Gardner would be almost entirely forgotten if it were not for the television productions starring Perry Mason. From my vantage point it seems like the posthumous reputation of Donald E. Westlake keeps holding some ground, while the work of his peer Ed McBain is receding into history. Will Robert B. Parker stand the test of time? What was edgy or advanced in the s or s is trite or even embarrassing today, and presumably that condition will only worsen as society keeps evolving. If the books do stay in circulation, it is going to be for witty dialogue between opponents, the rise and fall of tension in a fight scene, the technical details of how to take on armed posse when the opponents already know to expect trouble.

About Robert B. He is preparing to hand the Reacher series over to his brother and the two are writing this novel together to ease the transition. A solid entry worth the time. Spenser is helping a spirited young girl named Mattie find the murderer of a parent, and Susan is reading a Charles Portis novel at one point. Is there anything you would change about this book? Thereafter, he joined the army and had the experience of being a Korean war veteran. Turns out Parker was a major influence on Atkins, and in spite of the downside millions of Spenser fans potentially hounding him, had he failed , Atkins accepted the challenge. If Parker had her play a part in a story, it's because there was a clear role for her to play. Parker wrote to a formula, no denying that, but it was a witty, dialogue driven scenario. If you love Spenser -- skip this. The next day the police arrested Mattie Green and he is currently serving a life sentence for the murder but Mattie is convinced he is not the one who did it. I don't like giving bad reviews, and usually if I don't like a book I just quietly move on. I started from the beginning and worked my way through, then kept up with each new Spenser when it was published. Death in Paradise.
