"Suspect Tracker" has two differences from mainstream crime dramas. First, the show has a setting with a soft sci-fi color, that is, everyone is monitored in all directions by a secret system, which can be monitored by a secret system. The analysis of each person’s behavior infers the possibility of being involved in criminal behavior and puts forward an early warning, prompting the relevant departments to take action; secondly, the current similar dramas all adopt the team battle mode, and the central characters of “Suspect Tracking” have only two, one It is an invisible rich man who owns this system, played by Michael Emerson, the second male lead in "Lost", and a former CIA agent with strong individual combat ability, played by James Caviezel, who has starred in "The Passion of the Christ". The division of labor is clear, the former is the center and the latter is the limbs. The last crime drama with this two-person combination model was "Eleventh Hour", a remake of the British drama in 2008, but it only ran for one season. The worry of being cut shows that in addition to the luxurious lineup, the tough style and suspenseful settings have attracted considerable attention to the audience, especially when the main plot of the play and the history of the characters have not been unfolded, the audience can still Paying attention to the fate of the characters, the narrative skills under the control of Jonathan Nolan have shown great power. This is no longer the stylized detection routine in the crime dramas that CBS is good at, but returns to the adventure mode of a lonely hero, which makes people feel Refreshing.
Last year was the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 incident. The behind-the-scenes team of "24 Hours" launched the anti-terrorist drama "Homeland Security" and it was a success, and "Suspect Tracker" was also a 9/11-branded work. The surveillance system in the play was developed to deal with terrorist attacks after 9/11, which means that this disregard of citizens' privacy for the sake of national interests has become a state behavior. In 1998, Will Smith starred in "The Enemy of the State". A film criticizing the government's use of electronic eavesdropping and intelligence manipulation to trample on citizenship. However, "Suspect Tracker" is different from "Homeland Security". It is not a political reflection drama, so the display of intelligence collection methods here is still dazzling, and every transition is a full-scale monitoring without dead ends. The real-time capture of the footage is based on the content of the screen. The intrusion into personal space by the people in the play is also quite amazing. Hacking into other people’s communication systems and wireless networks is a matter of minutes, because the two protagonists are packaged as incarnations of justice. The audience may not feel that there is anything wrong with all this, but the sentence at the beginning of each episode still has an indiscriminate warning effect: You are being watched. 【Southern Metropolis Daily】
