Taking every available opportunity to work with John Slattery again, which is exactly what he does in Confess, Fletch. ![]() It is a perfect part for Hamm and exactly the sort of starring role he should have been playing since Mad Men ended. ![]() Fletcher, the flippant, charming investigative reporter who in Confess, Fletch is accused of committing a murder and takes it upon himself to determine who the actual killer is. I should say, up front, that Confess, Fletch, now in theaters and streaming on demand, is a quietly delightful new entry in the Fletch series, previously established in the novels by Gregory MacDonald, the memorable 1985 Chevy Chase movie Fletch, and the completely unmemorable 1989 Chevy Chase movie Fletch Lives. Have you ever known joy? If you have not yet watched Confess, Fletch and the scenes within it that reunite former Mad Men stars Jon Hamm and John Slattery, then I am not sure you have. ![]() |
