Confess, Fletch, review: Jon Hamm sets the wrong tone in this turgid comedy
- Fletch – full name “Irwin M Fletcher” – is the hero of nine novels by the American thriller writer Gregory Mcdonald, who hit the big-time with two 1980s films (Fletch and Fletch Lives) starring Chevy Chase at the peak of his fame. He’s a roguish hack journalist and ex-Marine who sniffs out all manner of dubious paydays, and mooches around getting mixed up in murders, like Philip Marlowe without the hard-boiled moral code.
