The Hire: The Follow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hire: The Follow is the third installment in The Hire series by BMW films. It was written by Andrew Kevin Walker and directed by Wong Kar-wai.[1][2] It stars Clive Owen, Forest Whitaker, Adriana Lima, and Mickey Rourke. The Driver (Owen) is hired to follow an ageing movie star's (Rourke) young wife (Lima), whom he suspects of infidelity.[3][4][5]
The Driver is hired by a nervous movie manager to spy on a paranoid actor's wife. During his tailing of the wife, the Driver describes the right way to tail someone. As he follows her he begins to fear what he might learn of her apparently tragic life. He discovers the wife is fleeing the country and returning to her mother's, and that she's been given a black eye, likely by her husband. He returns the money for the job, refusing to tell where the wife is, and drives off telling the manager never to call him again.
