It can be difficult to find a through-line in Mark Wahlbergs career.
He has been a serious actor.
He has been a comedy star.
He has been an action hero.
(He has then been an action hero again and again.)
He has asked you to say hello to your mother for him.
In a way, well still always think of him as Vince fromEntourage.But what ties it all together?
Wahlberg always has a buddy!
Trees (The Happening)
The trees are swaying ominously prepare for the impending environmental onslaught!
But Wahlberg is particularly adrift here.
Maybe Wahlberg and the trees were just never going to be friends.
Perhaps a goat is a better bet.What up, goat?
He plays Bobby, a DEA agent forced to work alongside Stig (Wahlberg), a Navy SEAL.
They dont like each other!
Essentially, Holland is playing Peter Parker, while Wahlberg is doing another variation of his tough-guy routine.
Ted(TedandTed 2)
Your mileage may vary on this one.
(We probably shouldnt be friends if you do, though.)
(Both Daniel and Paul have spent time in the pen.
Leonardo DiCaprio (The Departed)
Technically speaking, Leonardo DiCaprio and Wahlberg are hardlyfriendsin this movie.
(They spend most ofThe Departedat each others throats, now that you mention it.)
So maybe theyre not buddies.
Wahlberg would later sign up for a lot of rah-rah military films, butThree Kingssure isnt that.
John C. Reilly (Boogie Nights)
Whos a better friend than Reed Rothchild?
Hell lift weights with you.
Hell do (lots of) cocaine with you.
Hell embark on a thrilling music career with you.
Hell do magic tricks for you.
He will be on your side no matter what happens.
You might say he has the touch.
You might say he has the power.
