what did he mean by this?
>>63906781
not star wars, fuck off
Sicario and The Revenant are the best of the year.
>>63906781
>>63908107
Does he have ptsd afterwards?
it was just okay
the plot just kind of meanders around.
really underwhelming movie
>>63908203
Meanders how? Seemed pretty straightforward
>>63908203
it's more about atmosphere and tension than plot. Watch it with a good sound system

I'm liberal but sometimes even I feel manipulated.
>>63906781
Brooklyn, Ex Machina, Diary of a Teenaged Girl, The Revenant, and even The Martian were all better films.
Sicario just has gritty masculine action and pseudo-intellectual posturing.
>>63908290
>>63908547
it has too few actual scenes and sequences to justify the overall length of the film. it needed to be either shorter or more developed and densely plotted.
plus it's another "gee whiz if only the developed world would leave developing nation alone everything would be great XD" movie. it's basically that Matt Damon film Green Zone but for the drug war.

>>63908739
Maybe I'm just an asshole but I'm glad he shot everyone at the table. Really thought he was going to pussy out and spare them for a second.
One complaint
If he was a prosecutor in Colombia then it makes no sense for the Mexican Cartel to have killed him
>>63908862
Women have no business being in situations like this.
>>63908974
He was a prosecutor in Mexico whose family was killed by the Mexican cartel so he started working for their rivals, the Medellin Cartel of Columbia who loaned him out to the CIA.
>>63909013
Yet didn't use a Mexican accent
>>63908974
1. He wasn't just a prosecutor
2. Prosecutors are often murdered by the cartel if they stand in the way. It seems to work.
>>63908862
She was a cop. Her whole perspective on fighting these people was from a policeman's standpoint. Unfortunately the realities of the world require even the "good guys" employ trained killers to use against problems that cannot be solved by policework alone.
It's confusing that they involve her given her mindset, until they reveal that they're literally just using her and have no interest in her qualities as a person. She's there because it's required. It's why Alejandro tells her to go some place where the rule of law matters. That's what she's good at. The border was a place for killers, be they military, CIA, or hired guns with an axe to grind.
>>63908739
>>evil gang leader is white
um...wut?
>>63909089
He was a relatively light-skinned Mexican so people with poor eyesight or who are trying to stir up shit might call him "white".
>>63909044
I don't think anyone knows what accent Del Toro has.
At times he sounds like Vito Corleone.
I dig him tho.
>>63909111
you're fucking retarded.
>>63908958
definitely the right move for the scene, but the subtext of the casting was that skin-color is what determines a person's responsibility for being part of a drugs family.
plus the leader didn't actually behave like a human being. he would have known he was probably dead but was like "ur dawhter god threwn in acib :DDDD" so that killing his family was recontextualized into a punishment for hurting the guy's feelings.
>>63906781
If the main chick and le black man sidekick weren't in it at all, it would have been a way better movie. I understand that she was and outsider and we were supposed to be looking at the situation from her outsider perspective, etc. But she was a terrible character that I kept hoping would get shot in the face so the plot could progress without her whining or being stupid at every little thing.
>>63909080
10/10 post
>>63909121
his accent moved from puerto rican to south american throughout the movie
not a problem since it's an english movie but still
>>63906781
I liked Revenant more.
Sicarios flaw was what was the point of the scenes with the spic cop?
They felt half baked
There were two scenes in Sicario that Revenant cant top but Revenant was more consistent

you know that white people who are born in mexico are still white, right? I'm not saying he looked like Louis CK.
>>63909194
I know what you mean, but guess it's one of those "as long as he doesn't sound American we're good" situations.
>>63909197
> Sicarios flaw was what was the point of the scenes with the spic cop?
To show the ubiquitous nature of the drug war. Think about the ending scene, where the kids go back to playing football despite hearing the gun shots.
Also, it shows the moral greyness of the people involved in the drug war. Had those scenes not been in the film, we wouldn't have felt sympathy for the cop when Alejandro shot him. He would've just been another "bad cartel guy", which is the opposite of what the film was trying to convey.
>>63909203
yeah, nah, you're just some racist retard who thinks all mexicans look like the beaners you'd find in LA or anywhere close to the border. An even more special kind of retard to think they were trying to push some whites are evil agenda. Please go back to pol
>>63908628
That motherfucker was SAD. You don't get any shadier than that. The guy was basically a state sponsored highly trained criminal.
>>63909144
lol what
Retard
/sexarms/
Decent forgettable action flick.
>>63909197
The cop was probably the most important character. He is a simple man living in a shithole, who gets dragged into this mess. You can draw a parallel between him and del toro's character. One said No and one said Yes to the cartels. That scene with his son was also fantastic where he tells him not to touch the rifle. And now that he's gone the kid will probably not end well. This is the reason we see his family not get killed, I think. Overall a fantastic movie, Armond also loved it.

>>63916735
Good soundtrack and some of the scenes were pretty tense but after all it's not a very deep movie and some of the stuff should've been cut. Would've been better if it was just Del Toro recking shit and no shallow cop drama.

>>63908862
>my god if she wasn't it the movie it would be the new HEAT
This is why I'm so fucking glad that she didn't turn out to be the hero at the end.
I loved how this movie slowly transformed into being Del Toro's lead. What a great fucking movie it turned out to be despite her.
>>63917850
even as a cop, she should have understood when a shooting was justified. I mean, you spot to cars full of guys with guns, you even engage ONLY if they raise the guns, and then you smoke them. Why the fuck did she get upset? The highway scene shooting was completely justified. You're a cop, you're telling a bunch of people to lower their guns, and they don't. What do you thing it's gonna happen?
>>63909044
I think he is Columbian but he worked as a prosecutor in Mexico.
>>63917975
because she was a nervous wreck since the start of the movie, unlike the rest who were proper operators she was just brought along for the ride to be their legal means of doing what they had to do
>>63917975
She's a retarded woman. She probably thinks that they should have shot them in the leg and then arrested and prosecuted them.
>>63909044
>>63918002
Or they didn't bother with an accent because 95% of audience wouldn't notice or care.
>>63918126
>because she was a nervous wreck since the start of the movie
That's the other thing, she was supposed to be a senior swat member from the DEA. What the fuck? She was nervous and hesitant the entire fucking movie, SWAT is supposed to be the elite of the police, most are ex military. As a character she wasn't believable at all.
>>63917668
literally Emily Blunt gets bullied all the time: the movie
>>63917975
I think that scene her being hesitant is justifiable. She had no idea what was going on, who the prisoner they were transporting was or why he was important. And they didn't even give her a nice tacticool weapon she just had her sidearm when those cartel guys obviously had automatic guns
>>63918144
>mom brings up that one chicago cop shooting a teen 16 times
>"They should have just shot the knife out of his hand or shot him in the leg."
>>63918215
I understand being hesitant, and in shock after killing a guy, but she then went on to say "we don't do this kind of things, we are the good guys" when they actually took their time, asked the nice gentlemen nicely to put the guns down. It would have been different if they just went and killed the people in the cars without even a warning, but that wasn't the case.
>>63906781
blunt was fucking shit in this. The amount of hype around this I thought it would be fucking sick. Watched it the other day and I was like... when is this gonna get good.
IN MEXICO, "SICARIO" MEANS HITMAN
>>63918286
Did you watch the whole thing? It gets pretty good.
>>63906781
I could've done with the film not really going anywhere but having more convoy scenes with Delta lighting up more spics.
>>63918492
This, it needed more operator scenes and less emily blunt "muh cia on american soil is bad"
>>63918408
Yeah it does, but too little too late. I didnt really give a fuck about del toro's issues, it was never explored well and quickly explained by some offhanded comments.
>this scene is the climax
what a joke. t b h it is a good film, maybe I overhyped myself, but it is hardly great.

Holy shit this, and what was the deal with the black guy tag along? Didn't they only ask her ? Either way focusing so much on her was unneeded.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y97FeR08jDM
>you'll never have passionate make out scene with Emily Blunt and strangle her after
The build up with the convoy at the start and the night vision at the end were both 10/10 scenes. The rest of the movie was forgettable or straight up bad.
What I was disappointed with was the fact that we only got Jeffery Donavan for the beginning. I really liked his character because that's basically how real Cia is. Some dorky and intelligent being who knows his way around a gun. You can tell he's been doing it for a long time like the others because all he does is crack jokes. He is literally 4chan: the chracter.
>>63919404
M-maybe they'll make spinoff for him

I'd like to believe michael came back to the CIA and that this movie is in the same Burn Notice universe.

>>63919431
I doubt it but maybe they will bring him back for the Alejandro spin off
>>63919454
No Michael was a really good character but he was all a stick in the mud, unless he was in cover then he goes crazy. One of my favorite show and im dissapointed it finished. I liked how in the beginning of the show, he is trying to get back in to the CIA but at the end he's trying to get out

Saw it twice in theaters. Worth it. Maybe not best movie of the year but it definitely was my favorite. Great movie. Great camera shots, the loudness of the firefights were essential, made you. Feel like you were there. Acting was fine nothing ground breaking but passable.
