Hi, I'm John Turner, a standard idealistic millennial. In the eyes of my relatives and friends, I am just a sullen young man with good friendship but no woman. I will tell you in private that in fact I am a data analyst secretly trained by the CIA. This job fulfilled my life value while destroying my trust in intimacy.
When my uncle, who holds an important position in the CIA, told me that the program that was supposed to screen out ghosts in the CIA for the past two years was being used to spy on American citizens, I was naturally at a loss. Seeing them pointing at a suspicious Muslim on the screen, although the algorithm can completely determine his threat, in my heart I don't believe that such an arbitrary algorithm is used to determine a life. Well, you might think I'm a bit of Notre Dame, but even if the algorithm turns out to be completely correct, my trust in the massive system of the CIA is shaken. However, it was too late to doubt myself. According to the instructions of the superiors, millions of people are still threatened with death. In the data analysis, I seem to have found clues of criminals...
Hello everyone, I'm Nathan Fowler, a fat villain you often see in movies and TV shows. Behind me is a huge enterprise and a deadly beauty killer. When my plan was inexplicably thwarted by the CIA's intervention, I realized that I couldn't continue to be lazy to make money. I have contacted my internal response in the CIA, and it seems that it is not as difficult as I imagined to start clearing the CIA technical department...
Hello everyone, I'm Boring, an ordinary viewer who sits in front of the TV watching "Vulture" like you. The play "Condor" is adapted from the 1974 James Grady's novel "Six days of the Condor". In that era when the Cold War and the anti-war trend went hand in hand, this kind of political thriller was a mess. By the second year, Sidney Pollack made a "Three days of the Condor" based on the novel. You read it right, it was a crude nomenclature that cut the number of days in half. After that, James Grady wrote a lot of follow-up stories along the name of "Condor".
Let's talk about the past life and then talk about the present life. The "Vulture" we see now moves the story to the 21st century. Without the Cold War thriller vibe of the 1970s, we're looking at a sunnier, more "millennial"-style spy story, with Tinder in the show, and the stock all putting the otherwise grim story style in a more modern one. Talk about thinking. You can't even tell if the screenwriters are lazy or deliberately down-to-earth here, we don't see how complicated the dialogue story lines are, and the vernacular-style plot advancement is even clearer than the next door's "Yellowstone" about the wild west. To be honest, the background of the political thriller did not usher in a more intense and exciting plot design for "Vulture", and the language of the scenes was too warm to make the "Very Suddenly"-style violent plot at the end very precious. Now we can only see the clues of the story, let's pray that this adaptation doesn't end up falling into the "Prison Break" style hero vs. evil company.
Another word about the actors. The starring Max Irons is actually not young. Whether it is "Host" with Ronan sister or "Dorian Gray" with Ben Barnes, he has not won too much attention. Fortunately, this The uncomplicated character settings in the play did not hold him back. Of course, there are a lot of no-brainer flaws in him - why the technical ace of the US CIA is a British boy who is completely brainless! Brandon Fei, who also plays Nathan Fowler, is an old friend. His performance in the Mummy trilogy is also my childhood male god, although his body is completely swollen due to objective reasons behind the scenes. During the performance, he can still feel the fleeting scenery of the old male god in his eyes.
In the end, it is unavoidable. The audience may endure not to say it, but they will definitely look at it in their hearts: What is the relationship between "Condor" and "Jackline"? It is obviously a story of a CIA clerk breaking through a political crisis, and it is also the rebirth of a veteran classic character on the small screen in 2018. I'm not an expert on this either, so try to correct me if I'm wrong: While Vulture may not be as well-known as Tom Clancy's Jack Cline series, the first one published in the 1980s A Jackline series of novels is available after Vulture.
