The ‘90s were a much different time for Wahlberg, and they were certainly a very different time for writer/director David O. Russell. Before he became an awards favorite with Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, Russell epitomized the chaotic spirit of ‘90s independent filmmakers. Three Kings is a fascinating blend of genres; it's a hard-ed...
Wahlberg went on to co-lead the Daddy’s Home franchise with Will Ferrell, but the duo were much stronger together in Adam McKay’s surprisingly nuanced 2010 buddy comedy. The Other Guys casts the pair as New York detectives who live in the shadow of the city’s leading heroes P.K. Highsmith (Samuel L. Jackson) and Christopher Danson (Dwayne Johnson)....
The Italian Job was a rare remake that actually topped its original, as F. Gary Gray’s 2003 update pays significantly more attention to character development than the original 1969 British film. Wahlberg proved that he could share the screen in a heist film loaded with heavy names, including Charlize Theron, Seth Green, Jason Statham, and Mos Def. ...
The remake of the classic 1974 James Caan star vehicle The Gambler was one of the more ambitious projects of Wahlberg’s career. He stars as Caan’s character Jim Bennett, an English professor who gets caught in over his head after he bets too big. Wahlberg may be more convincing at the poker table than he is in the classroom, but he doesn’t shy away...
Wahlberg isn’t necessarily known for his sensitivity, but he delivers a respectful performance as the real oil drilling rig employee Mike Williams, who was caught in the 2016 oil spill. Deepwater Horizon explores the corruption of BP, and how it leads to devastating consequences for both the environment and the workers caught amidst the spill. Wahl...
Lone Survivor is the strongest of Wahlberg’s films with Berg. Once again he’s playing a real hero in First Class Marcus Luttrell, and he showed his respect for the military by committing to the intense physical demands. It was just as important that Luttrell stood out as an individual in order to humanize the tragic events, and Wahlberg was able to...
All the Money in the World was the subject of many controversies. AfterKevin Spacey was replaced by Christopher Plummer in reshoots, there were discrepancies over Michelle Williams’ salary compared to Wahlberg’s.Remarkably, it’s also the film where Wahlberg gives his most understated performance. He appears as Fletcher Chase, a former spy who serve...
David O. Russell tends to bring out the best in Wahlberg, and he’s never been funnier than he is in I Heart Huckabees. The extremely odd film explores the adventures of existential detectives Bernard (Dustin Hoffman) and Vivian Jaffe (Lily Tomlin) as they help their troubled clients discover the meaning of life. Tommy Corn (Wahlberg) seeks out the ...
Boogie Nights is a film about the nature of stardom itself. Wahlberg starred as an emerging talent when he was building his own career, and he captures the anxiety of a young performer. It was another case in which Wahlberg easily could’ve been overshadowed by his incredible co-stars, but Eddie Adams’ transformation into the porn sensation Dirk Dig...
The Fighter is much more than just an inspirational boxing movie, but that doesn’t mean Micky Ward (Wahlberg) isn’t an underdog worth rooting for.
