Mar 16, 2020
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.

I'll be honest: I'd seen the Natalie Portman/Hugo Weaving film years ago (mainly out of curiosity to see how the Wachowski's would follow up The Matrix films), but had no idea how closely it stuck to the core material.
Until now.
The answer is actually surprisingly faithful, with most of the core beats of the two versions the same.
While both versions, I feel, do lose their way a bit at just over the half way mark, they both do have some memorable (and thought-worthy) quotes, chief among them these two:
[i]People shouldn't be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people[/i]
[i]Everybody is special. Everybody. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain. Everybody. Everybody has their story to tell[/i]
