While *TASK* is a thrilling crime story, it’s not the only one worth watching. Over 20 years ago, Michael Mann directed *Collateral*, considered by many to be one of his best films. Despite receiving two Oscar nominations – for Film Editing and Jamie Foxx’s Supporting Actor performance – *Collateral* remains surprisingly overlooked and deserves more recognition as a top crime movie from the 2000s. If you’re enjoying Mark Ruffalo’s performance and the suspense in *TASK*, it’s a great time to revisit his earlier work in *Collateral*, where he plays a police officer.
The upcoming movie sequel to *Wicked*, titled *Wicked: For Good*, will noticeably change Glinda’s storyline compared to the stage musical. This significant alteration aims to resolve a conflict within the relationship between Glinda and Elphaba.

A recurring theme in the show is attractive men with a certain background revealing conflicting allegiances. It shouldn’t be a surprise that Anthony Grasso was the source of the task force leak – it fits the established pattern.
