Although Heath Ledger is famous, most of the movies he plays are literary and artistic, so he is not worth a lot. After reading the script, Ledger also thought it was good, so this role is his.
This makes Sean convenient. After all, he will soon be in a rivalry with Ledger. As someone who knows Christopher Nolan very well, he is very aware of the huge response and excellent reputation caused by "The Dark Knight" and all the things that have happened.
Although he had to wear a mask to shoot most of the time, which suppressed the actor's acting skills, and there were rumors of watching supporting roles in Christopher's movies, Sean still wanted to play a few moves with Heath Ledger in his peak state.
Not only that, even if it is not clear when the other party died of overdose, Sean has decided that if possible, it is best to prevent this tragedy from happening. Many things are not effective, but it is still possible to try it out with just a few hands.
However, he didn't think about what kind of butterfly effect he would have when he saved it. No matter what kind of reaction, it was not as good as a living life, right?
Although the performance at the beginning has its own merits, it is basically very good. Wahlberg's wit made the task of installing a wiretap machine successfully complete, thus showing his ability. The subsequent private conversation also exposed his greed for small gains and irritability. At the same time, Howard and Ledger's personalities also showed their personalities, so that the audience was interested in continuing to watch.
After the beginning of the climax, the next step is a peaceful life, showing the lives of the three male protagonists.
Howard had an incompetent brother. If it weren't for the help of another friend, he would have been imprisoned. He wanted to make up for his brother to learn a profound lesson, but he was hesitant. Ledger had a wealthy fiancée. Although his father-in-law did not object to their relationship, he never concealed his profession in his words.
Wahlberg was arranged to the end, and two more minutes more than the others, fully demonstrating the warm little home, the cute child, and the youngest one who had leukemia to the entire family.
So, when they eavesdropped on insider information, because the other leaders of the cooperation were not there, Howard went out to smoke, leaving only Wahlberg and Ledger, the two were moved, so they modified the eavesdropped conversation records and wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune in the stock market.
The careful Howard discovered their actions and rushed to stop them, but he couldn't resist Wahlberg's begging. He finally found the bone marrow that could match the child, but he was not cured because of his irregular work and rest for a long time and had to leave some money for his family.
The subsequent development was no different from all the same type of movies. Howard let them go, but more and more troubles were made. The monitor was about to be silenced by the mastermind behind the scenes. They also heard it. Because they were worried that the matter would be exposed, they concealed the recording again and went to save him privately. As a result, Howard accidentally saw the face by a woman, and thus fell deeper and deeper.
Despite the twists and turns, they finally made tens of millions of dollars, but danger also came. In reality, Ledger was kidnapped, and then Wahlberg's family was transferred and encountered a carefully planned car accident. The whole family died and he was seriously injured.
Finally, Howard and his younger brother were attacked when they quarreled again. If it weren't for the police friend who had been following his younger brother, he would have been dead. Even so, his friend still died, and his younger brother was seriously injured and was hospitalized.
Faced with this situation, he could not tell his superiors. Although they had guessed and vaguely warned him, Howard finally decided to investigate the truth and find evidence. Unexpectedly, he fell into a trap. Not only did he see Ledger's body strangled, but he was also taken to the suburbs and shot to death.
Of course, if this is the ending, it would be a big mistake. Although the investment is not high, the movie is always commercial, so making money is the primary purpose, and an ending that is too dark is difficult to sell.
Therefore, a year later, the mastermind behind the scenes, the chairman of a large company, started his business with gray income and successfully laundered it, and colluded with businessmen who used loopholes to make money in the stock market, and participated in the charity party with satisfaction.
He seems to be no different from those chairman of serious companies. He is a respected big shot. This situation continues until he lets someone play the video. This should have been a video introducing his company's charity activities, but for some reason it was replaced by a video of the company's temper before. And from the shooting perspective, it was obviously a secret shot.
But this is not the point. The point is that he lost his temper in the company before because some shareholders did not meet his interests but refused to sell their shares, so they asked someone to deal with them and didn't mind using bad hands.
It turned out that Howard was not killed. Before the killer fired, he told him that they had $10 million and that as long as he didn't kill him, he could give it all. So the killer put out an empty gun, and Howard fell into the dug hole and was buried again. He waited for the killer to come back and dig him out after 20 minutes.
Because the mastermind behind the scenes just looked from afar, the only one who shot in the wilderness was the killer, and it was dark, so he was able to escape from the sky.
Afterwards, Howard pleaded guilty to his boss and actively collected evidence, and finally chose to use this method to defeat the other party.
Of course, this is not enough to make the other party doom. After all, the United States is a country with at least money. Even if the FBI appears immediately and asks to take the other party back, the mastermind behind the scenes still looks rebellious and asks to take his own car over.
In addition, as soon as he got on the bus, he called his people and asked them to transfer their assets immediately. Even if they were in prison, the world would still be theirs after they came out.
But he did not realize that the person who drove was seriously injured and not dead due to a car accident, but became disabled. So the final result was that Wahlberg died with the mastermind behind the scenes, while Howard paid a heavy price for his hesitation.
The whole movie has a black tone, with dark light and cold tones. Only when we die together in the end, Wahlberg recalls his dead family, will he feel a little warm.
The shooting technique can only be considered as average, and the editing is the same, without many characteristics. After all, there is no big-name director for a budget of 50 million. It is better to be able to make it in a normal manner than to play it casually. However, the rhythm of the movie is very outstanding, telling the story in a casual manner, being nervous when it should be nervous, relax when it should be relaxed, warm when it should be warm, miserable when it should be miserable, and it makes people feel comfortable to watch. Even if there are one or two small flaws in the plot, it doesn't matter, so there is still a lot of applause after the movie ends.
