Description: “Spenser Confidential” (2020) is an action-packed film that follows Boston police officer Spenser. The story begins with Spenser and his partner, Driscoll, arriving at the home of Captain John Boylan. During their questioning, Spenser notices Mrs. Boylan’s bloodied face and assaults Boylan in reaction. This leads to Spenser being charged, pleading guilty, and serving a prison sentence. While incarcerated, he trains to become a truck driver and is released after five years. Before his release, he is warned to leave Boston permanently.
Upon his release, Spenser is greeted by his friend Henry Cimoli, who takes him to his residence. There, Spenser reunites with Driscoll and settles in with Henry and his roommate, Hawk. Shortly after, Boylan is killed during a meeting at a bus yard when an SUV crashes into his car. Around the same time, Detective Terrence Graham is found murdered in the same SUV. Following Boylan’s death, Spenser and Henry are questioned by Driscoll and his partner, who suspect Spenser’s involvement. Henry provides Spenser with an alibi, supported by Hawk.
A news report links Detective Graham to Boylan’s murder, prompting Spenser to investigate further, as he believes Graham would not have committed suicide. Spenser interviews Letitia about the night of the murder and visits a police bar where Graham had been. There, he meets Scotty Traylor, Graham’s partner, who confirms that Graham suspected Boylan of corruption. Spenser then reviews CCTV footage from a nearby store, which shows Graham entering a Corvette while two others follow in his SUV.
While examining the crime scene at the bus yard, Spenser finds a toothpick similar to those used by Driscoll. He confronts Driscoll at his gym to inquire about the murder, but Driscoll denies any involvement and urges Spenser to drop the case. The film is filled with suspense, mystery, and action as Spenser uncovers the truth behind the murders.
