Hello everyone,
I recently watched the HBO miniseries Task, and I have to say this series is the bomb. You know, when they talk about movies or shows that make you root for the bad guy, well, that is what this movie is all about. I do not know how it happened, but I kept seeing myself supporting the bad guy in this movie. Well, bad is relative depending on who is asking.
Now this is where Robbie comes into play. Robbie is the leader of the robbery gang, an ex-convict with a code. He and his gang only rob stash houses belonging to the motorcycle gang called the Dark Houses. Rob's brother was a part of the gang until his brother was killed. This is the reason for Robbie's robbery, and it is also a ploy to cause a gang war, making the Dark House gang think the robbery might be coming from a rival gang.
Firstly, why on earth will you remove your mask when there is an ongoing robbery, and why take the boy along with you under the lie that the boy's parents asked you to babysit him? This is the point where Robbie's life took a turn for the worse, and from there it was a hell show. The FBI became heavily involved not just because of the robbery, but also because of a missing boy.
While I remain truly pissed by Roobbie's poor choices, I still felt a form of sympathy for him, which is what kept me watching. He is a single father with two kids; his wife left, not too long after his brother was killed, and now all he has are his kids and his niece, who is going through her life problems, dealing with her father's death, and also raising two kids, her cousins. Their living situation is a motivating factor for Robbie's robberies as a form of payback to the gang and also to stack up something for his kids and niece.
I hope I did not give away too many spoilers, but you should go check out Task this weekend; it surely will keep you busy and entertained.
