    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Very loosely based on characters from Robert B. Parker's "Spenser" series of mystery novels.
    • Goofs
      After Spenser approaches the FBI surveillance car, the agent with the computer just starts typing Spenser's name into his database search without knowing who he is. He even acknowledges he doesn't know him by being shocked to learn of his past. However it is obvious that the other agent recognised him and told the first agent his name.
    • Quotes

      Spenser: [Hawk grabs the shotgun] No, no, no. No, you don't get the cool gun.

      Hawk: Aw. Hawk is the name of a motherfucker with a shotgun. Spenser does your taxes.

      Spenser: That was good. I'll give you that one.

    Why did they diverge from the story line?

    I liked the movie but I can't understand why they changed the story line from the wonderful Spenser series written by Robert Parker. Spenser and Hawk are amazing characters why change that? Why change Susan, Spenser's beau and psychologist into Cissy the dog groomer? Where's Belson? Why is Pearl a basset hound and not a golden retriever? I think they should have just named the movie Confidential and changed all of the characters names which would have made the movie more credible.
