Sean had thought more than once about what he would have been like if he hadn't met Frederick at the time, or what it would have been like if he hadn't met Frederick but another agent. Needless to say, the former one must have been after traveling all over the United States, honestly going home to work in his father's group, and then saving up a sum of money to catch the tail of the IT industry and make a few sums, and finally find a woman to marry under the pressure of his family.

As for the latter, there are two scenarios, if the other party is less capable than Frederick, Sean is likely to stagnate, either messing around in Hollywood to wait for an opportunity, or returning to the previous route. After all, whether it is "The Genius Ripley" or "The Lord of the Rings", Frederick has contributed a lot in it.

As for meeting someone with better ability and wider connections, it won't be much better than now, you know, Sean is already recognized as a very fast young actor in Hollywood, and many times it can be called magical.

If it weren't for the fact that after the 21st century, there are more and more young idols, and he is known for his acting skills, I am afraid that he will enjoy the treatment of the milky pie in the 80s.

So, even if the broker is better, such as Ali? Emmanuel will not have a qualitative change from what he is now, at best a few more trophies with small prizes.

Therefore, Sean was indeed lucky to meet Frederick, even if he made Sanders an agent and took away some of the power from him, he didn't say much, but kept bringing in scripts such as "Little Sunshine Beauty", "Milk" and now "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", if he can, Sean hopes that he can continue to do it as his agent.

Well, to change the topic, the time quickly entered May, and seeing that "The Dark Knight" is about to start filming, Sean is also ready, and the size is at least bigger than before, but the most important thing at the moment is not this, but the release of "Eavesdropping".

"Do you know what my friendship with Tony is? Do you know how many times he has saved me? As Wahlberg said this on the screen, with that rather peculiar accent, the rebellious, irritable, and dissatisfied with the status quo was expressed very clearly.

Sean, who was sitting in the seat, couldn't help but glance at him not far away, although he is also a law enforcer, although he is still somewhat similar to the shadow of the rough cop in "The Departed", but the difference is also obvious, and the nomination at the beginning of this year is well deserved.

He quickly set his sights on another person, and in this movie he played the young man Hiss who is engaged to the daughter of a rich man, because he should not look down on the young policeman who breeds low self-esteem? Ledger.

Frankly speaking, in the opening paragraph, he didn't have many highlights, he was submissive, and he looked like a newcomer. There is no room to play is one reason, and some are similar to the male protagonist of "Brokeback Mountain" is another reason, although they are both a little taciturn, but the two have different identities, and they can't show the difference as clearly as Wahlberg, which is naturally a bit mediocre.

But after all, this is just the beginning, and there is still a long time to come, and Sean is not in a hurry.

Listening to Reese, the crew was planning to find Chris at the beginning? Evans came to play this role, which was the Burning Man in "Fantastic Four", but he had to give up because the other party's asking price was too high.

Heath? Although Ledger is famous, most of the movies he plays are literary and artistic, so his value is not high, and Ledger also thinks it is good after reading the script, so this role is his.

This is convenient for Sean, after all, he is going to play opposite Ledger in the future, as a pair of Christophers? Nolan knows people very well, and he knows very well the huge response and great reputation that "The Dark Knight" has caused, and what has happened.

Although most of the time he has to wear a mask to shoot, which is a bit suppressive of the actors' acting skills, and Christopher's movies have always been rumored to see supporting roles, Sean still wants to compete with Heath in his peak state? Ledger got a few tricks.

Not only that, even if it is not clear when the other party died of an overdose, Sean has decided that it is better to prevent this tragedy if he can, many things are beyond his control, but it is still possible to try.

It's just that he didn't think about what kind of butterfly effect would occur if he was saved, no matter what kind of reaction he had, it wouldn't be as good as a fresh life, wouldn't he?

The opening performances are different, but generally good, with Wahlberg's wit leading to the successful completion of the task of installing the bugging, thus demonstrating his abilities, and the private conversations that follow reveal his greedy and irascible side. At the same time, Howard and Ledger's personalities are also on display, so that the audience is interested in continuing to watch.

After the small climax at the beginning, what follows is a peaceful life, showing the lives of the three male protagonists respectively.

Howard has a younger brother who is not successful, and if it weren't for the help of another friend, he would have been imprisoned, and he wanted to teach his brother a profound lesson, but he has been hesitant. Ledger has a wealthy fiancée, and although his father-in-law does not object to their relationship, he never hides in his rhetoric that he looks down on his profession.

Wahlberg was arranged to the end, and two minutes longer than the others, showing the warmth of the little family, the lovely children, and the burden on the whole family after the youngest had leukemia.

So, when they eavesdropped on the inside information, because the heads of the other parties to the cooperation happened to be absent, Howard also went out to smoke, and only Wahlberg and Ledger were left, the two were moved, so they revised the eavesdropped conversation record, and wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune in the stock market.

The attentive Howard noticed their movements, and when he rushed to stop them, he couldn't resist Wahlberg's pleas - it was easy to find bone marrow that could be matched with the child, and he had a serious illness due to his long-term irregular work and rest, and he had to leave a sum of money for the family.

The development after that was no different from all the movies of the same genre, Howard let them go, but the mess became more and more. The subject of the surveillance was about to be silenced by the mastermind behind the scenes, and they also heard it, because they were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so they concealed the recording again and went to save him privately, but Howard was accidentally seen by a woman, so he fell deeper and deeper.

Although they finally made tens of millions of dollars after several setbacks, danger also struck. Reality Ledger is kidnapped, and then Wahlberg's family is transferred to a well-planned car accident that kills the whole family and seriously injures himself.

In the end, Howard and his brother were attacked when they were arguing again, and if it weren't for his friend who was a police officer, he would have been dead. Rao was so that his friend still died, while his brother was seriously injured and hospitalized.

Faced with this situation, and unable to tell his superiors, although they had already guessed and vaguely warned him, Howard finally decided to investigate the truth and find the evidence himself. Unexpectedly, he fell into a trap and not only saw Ledger's strangled body, but 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 it is difficult to sell too dark ending.

Therefore, a year later, the mastermind behind the scenes, the chairman of a large company, started with gray income and then successfully laundered the businessman, and colluded with others to take advantage of loopholes to make money in the stock market, and participated in the charity gala with satisfaction.

He looked like the chairman of a serious company, a respected bigwig, and that continued until he had the video played. This was supposed to be a video of his company's charity activities, but I don't know why it was replaced with a video of losing his temper in the company before he came, and from the perspective of shooting, it was obviously taken secretly.

But that's not the point, the point is that he lost his temper in the company before, because there were shareholders who didn't meet his interests, but he refused to sell the shares, so he asked someone to clean them up, and he didn't mind using black hands.

It turned out that Howard was not killed, and before the killer fired, he told him that they had $10 million and could give it all to him as long as he didn't kill him. The killer then released the empty gun, and Howard collapsed into the dug pit and buried him, waiting for the killer to come back and dig him out after 20 minutes.

Because the mastermind behind the scenes was just watching from afar, only the killer shot in the field, and it was dark, so he was able to escape.

After that, Howard confessed to his boss and actively collected evidence, and finally chose this time to bring down the other party in this way.

Of course, this is not enough to finish the other party, after all, the United States is a country with at least money, even if the FBI shows up at the first time and asks to take the other party back, the mastermind behind the scenes still looks unruly and asks to take his own car.

In addition, as soon as he got in the car, he called his people and asked them to transfer their assets immediately, even if they went to prison, the world would still be theirs when they came out.

But he didn't realize that it was Wahlberg, who was driving because of a car accident that was seriously injured but not dead, but became crippled. So in the end, Wahlberg drove the car and the people behind the scenes, and Howard paid a heavy price because of his initial hesitation.

The whole film has a black tone, the lighting is dark, and the tone is very cold, and it is only when the final death is that Wahlberg recalls his dead family that there is a hint of warmth.

The shooting technique can only be regarded as decent, and the same is true for editing, there are not too many characteristics, after all, there are no big-name directors with a budget of 50 million, and it is better to be able to produce it in a decent way than to play it at will. However, the rhythm of the movie is excellent, telling the story eloquently, nervous when it should be nervous, relaxed when it should be relaxed, warm when it should be warm, tragic when it should be miserable, it is very 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.

As a medium-sized film, the scale of the premiere is not large, but it is already very good to receive such applause.
