Ok... This movie... I don't know. For a movie made around the same time as The Sound of Music and Doctor Zhivago, this movie does not hold up. It is of a much lower quality. The pacing of this movie is very slow and the movie needs to pick a main character. I absolutely agree with nomination for Alan Arkin as best actor. But that is about where the benefits of this movie end. I wouldn't watch this film again.

If you wanted to turn this into the series it is, you should not have hired Mark Wahlberg to play PI Spencer. I read many of the later Robert Parker novels in the series so Cissy is a huge shock when Susan is his soul mate. Bokeem Woodbine looks more like Hawk than Winston Duke (although Winston Duke is a convincing young Hawk). I am probably biased since Spencer is such a long-in-the -tooth character now and this is a first in a series type movie.

Alan Arkin saying "Pack-ee-derm" (0 more)
While in some ways a strange marriage, Dumbo has several Tim Burton elements: an evil rich guy, Michael Keaton/Danny DeVito/Eva Green, outsiders, people who don't get a lot of sun even though they live in a traveling circus. The most Tim Burton thing about it is when Dreamland is engulfed in smoke surrounded by dark clouds and Nightmare Island. The rest of the film is mostly live action Disney. Dumbo has Bambi-like doe eyes and except for the evil wannabe tycoon the humans are sentimental and protective of the kids.

Spenser Confidential is a hard hitting action comedy, loosely based on the novel Wonderland by Ace Atkins, and stars Mark Wahlberg, Winston Duke, Alan Arkin, Iliza Shlesinger, Bokeem Woodbine, Donald Cerrone, Marc Maron, and Austin Post.

After a stretch in prison for a violent attack on another officer, Spenser is released, that night the officer who he did time for attacking is murdered, which throws Spensers name into the fire.
 When a second officer from his former precinct is murdered, Spenser teams up with his no-nonsense roommate, Hawk, to take down criminals and uncover the truth before it's too late.

A great movie-
 even though the story has had very similar ones berfore it, it's a nice throwback to them whilst injecting a dose of witt to it.
