out of prison Spenser teams up at this roommate named hawk who is an aspiring and then a fighter played by Winston Duke they investigate the murder of two Boston cops to bring the criminals to justice while Spenser confidential is a bit predictable and much of the dialogue does fall flat it's an entertaining film nonetheless.
