...Jenny Sanford is not one of those scorned wives spewing bile all over her former spouse. She strives to put the unflattering revelations in context. Her soon-to-be ex-husband was ambitious and also restless because his father's death at a youngish age taught him that life was short. He was frugal because after his father died, he went through a colossal struggle to save the family's land. He became an attention junkie after his come-from-nowhere win made him a media darling and a party hero. And staying true to his ideals was almost impossible...

...compound. Indeed, the film is best at giving instructions in the assembling and detonation of weapons of movie distraction. And Wahlberg, so muscled up he looks as if he's ready to explode, is serious and committed to the genre. We happen to be in a period when the youngish male stars are mostly light comedians. Wahlberg could be the actor that action movies have been looking for since Sly, Arnold, Harrison, Bruce, Jackie and Jean-Claude - all in their 50s or 60s - got too old to execute the leg lifts necessary to kick bad guys in the butt...
