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 key sign of trouble for Xbox is its recent financial performance. Microsoft reported a 42% drop in Xbox hardware revenue for the quarter ending June 2024 compared to the same period last year. This isn’t a single isolated incident – hardware sales have been declining for six out of the last seven quarters. While Microsoft doesn’t publicly share exact console sales numbers anymore, analysts believe the decrease is significant. For example, Daniel Ahmad estimates that fewer than 900,000 Xbox units were shipped in one quarter, while PlayStation shipped millions.

Despite being only 23 years old, Emilia Jones is already experienced at portraying characters facing difficult decisions. She’s been acting since she was eight, with roles in projects like Paolo Sorrentino’s *Youth*, *Doctor Who*, the Netflix series *Locke & Key*, and, most notably, as the lead in the Academy Award-winning film *CODA*, where she played a talented musician balancing her dreams of attending Berklee College of Music with her family obligations as their only hearing member. But none of those roles prepared her for having to pretend to bake what looked like a truly terrible casserole.

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. Fabien Frankel’s character completes a troubling trio of handsome, conflicted men, alongside Mark Ruffalo’s Tom and Tom Pelphrey’s Robbie, and all the evidence indicated his involvement.

Major events are unfolding quickly. Perry, leader of the Dark Hearts, identifies Eryn as the mole and unexpectedly drowns her. Robbie learns about Cliff’s death from Ray’s wife and is then unknowingly used by Freddie Freyes to lead the Dark Hearts to a meeting. Meanwhile, a defeated Maeve turns Sam over to the police. The episode feels strangely rushed considering it’s not the second-to-last one. Everyone is turning on each other as the task force’s mole is revealed to be Grasso, who has Jayson working as his inside man within the Dark Hearts. Alliances are constantly changing, and with Grasso and Jayson secretly working together, disaster seems inevitable. The show reveals this partnership too quickly, and the impact is lost. As a result of these events, everyone now knows Robbie Pendergrast is the one who kidnapped Sam and stole the drugs, putting him in serious danger.
