I never miss the collaboration between director Peter Borg and Mark Wahlberg, because although they look bad ass, they are actually people with a sense of justice and social responsibility. This is not only because they have made too many movies based on real terrorist attacks, but also in the usual interviews, it can be seen that under their rough appearance, they have a heart that is quite like the aunt of the neighborhood committee.

The movies made by the two are very bad ass, but each time there is a heartwarming place, especially every time there is a bad ass heroine. This time, Mbaku also appeared in the middle of the journey. Winston Duke’s role this time is similar to his Mbaku in "Black Panther", but he is big but has an amazing sense of humor, and if someone dares to bully a cat, He definitely won't do it!

After cooperating many times, Peter Berg and Mark Wahlberg, the old partner, were also taken over by Netflix. Netflix is ​​indeed easier than other studios. There is no need to explain a lot, and there is no need to worry about the box office. Anyway, it guarantees that the filmmaker gets the money, so sometimes it gives the filmmaker a lot of freedom.

After shooting several stories based on real events, the pair returned to the bad ass detective movie. In "Spencer's Confidential Mission", Mark Wahlberg starred as a quick-tempered police detective. He had a sense of justice, but was impatient. He was imprisoned for beating his boss. After the release, he apparently still liked Anti-violence Anliang, so he began to become a "Batman". Although he did not travel at night, he did have an assistant Robin (Winston Duke) and a loyal old man like the butler Alfred. Friends provide him with backup (Alan Akin), a mount (actually a broken car) and a girlfriend who is as hot-tempered as him. The four men started an investigation into the corrupt police station, and they rushed into a big black nest.

Although the story has a violent plot, it is full of black humor on the whole, and some of the cruel scenes are also more enjoyable. For example, when Mark Wahlberg forced a confession, he actually pressed the head of a gangster into the footwash of an African-American aunt. During the interrogation process, the African-American aunt kept sitting on the foot-washing chair and listened to this idea. It's novel and funny.

Alan Arkin still adds a lot to the film, interrupting every time he appears. And the love and killing between Wahlberg's "Batman" and his hot girlfriend is also funny, and they can be enthusiastic about scolding.

At the end of the film, there is still a foreshadowing, and it seems to be a sequel. If you don’t want to go to the theater recently, this one is a good alternative
