Owen Wilson's character must have been handsomely compensated
what do you guys think? Cardiff probably had to pay through the nose!
shareNot necessarily. We learn that Wilson's character had to take the job with Cardiff because his career in the US had gone south. He invented a valve that was almost a big deal. That's common in the world of engineers.
So while the pay might have been really good, consider the price of uprooting your family and moving them to the third world.
