Now that the dust has settled what is the official /tv/ consensus on this film?
shit
>>64032247
Im about to find out
>>64032388
>not getting the yify for the great video/audio at small filesize
>>64032247
Villeneuve's worst movie so far.
But this is such an incredibly shitty year, that it still stands above all the competition.
>>64032438
What was the last good year?
>>64032454
2007
Better than most for this year. Make of that what you will.
Revenant > Sicario > The Martian (It's 2015)
We like it more the second time with Mike Douglas, kate Zeta jones, that spic in ops pic, don cheedle and that fat guatemalan from everything. First time it was a german tv show eh..
/Traffik
>>64032388
yify is a meme, but that film does not warrant 30gb. Deakin's meme digital cinammonagraphy compresses really easily, half the frigging frame is black. the 4gb copy played just fine on my plasma

oh hell yeah I didn't know it was out
This movie felt like it was trying to be like Zero Dark Thirty or The Kingdom. It wasn't as good as either of them but it had some good moments. Speaking of which, why doesn't The Kingdom not get enough love?
>>64032705
Jamie Foxxx
Pretty shit. Keeps trying to shock the audience with shit the government is doing that should be complete common knowledge/expected. Actually succeeds in shocking the main character, who has a ridiculously naive worldview for a government agent.
>>64032660
Hey, it was still the best thing about it. Villeneuve just cut to another of his establishing shots when he couldn't figure out what to bullshit about. Without that, it wouldn't even be watchable

It was played by Jamie Foxx.
>>64032943
Jamie Foxx is in consideration for being the most boring fucking actor on Earth.
He's been good in a couple things and honestly is fine in The Kingdom, but fucking shit I can't think of a single time he's given an above-average performance outside of Collateral.
Every time I see him in something now I usually think about much better Anthony Mackie would be in that role.

It would have been much better without Emily Blunt and if it had just focused on Brolin and Del Toro operating.

Bro bro, have you ever watched a latin american narco novela? Theyre pretty realistic and every time big IRL mobsters are depicted theyre always shown as scared of American Federal agents while depicting their own police and military as easily bullied and bought. What im trying to say is that was Hollywood hyping up the power of the CIA and cartels and not really based on reality?

>>64033456
I gotta agree movie is a solid 8/10
>>64033525
Emily blunts performance was fine, i felt like they wrought her as too simplistic and stupid, even with the cold reality of the world staring in her face and realizing what she got herself into she didn't even try to double down and join them instead she black listed herself from any future ops (and almost got herself killed 2-3 times?)
Apparently i have far too much faith human intelligence because Emily is suppose to be the stupid white/black morality character and infact probable hurts the viewers feelings when they realize they are just as fucking stupid as her.
>>64033525
Emily Blunt's entire character was meant to be an obnoxioushotheadthat demanded answers that she couldn't handle.
Everyone used everyone else in the entire film, except Blunt's character. She was an unwilling pawn of the CIA and Del Toro's character that wanted to get caught up in the game but ultimately couldn't handle it.
Also,
>Del Toro being supremely operator
>>64033538
>>64033550
Fresh coming from someone who liked substanceless edgelord trash with easy meme cinematography from Deakins.
>>64033632
>People who unironically like Denis Villeneuve calling anyone pleb.
lmao the irony
>>64033545
Lol didnt mean to add a question mark at the end
Blunt is the audience surrogate in the film
She represents the idealist side of law enforcement, you build a case through solid legal police work, follow the chain of command, trust your superiors and coworkers and nothing ends up happening. She is the leader of an FBI raid team so she is a level above what everyday cops experience and we as regular citizens are intimidated by them yet they wont pull their gun sometimes their entire careers. She does it every day. So when even she is flustered and incapable of handling what it really takes to make a significant difference in the drug war it gives you real perspective on just how brutal it is.

SICARIO IS THE BEST WIDE RELEASE MOVIE OF THE YEAR AND BEST CARTEL MOVIE TO DATE
>>64033890
Yeah no Cartel Land and various other documents are much better.
and if this shit heap was your best wide release movie of the year you have no taste to speak of.
>>64033447
this bridge scene was the best part of the movie 2bh
>>64033870
I'm not sure what his character was supposed to tell us anyway. That only working outside the law will get results?
i thought it was great but the scene where shane from the walking dead turns out to be a cartel hitman was kinda retarded
>>64033885
Nice.

Colombian narco novelas are the best way better than the Sopranos or the wire. Suggest you watch El Cartel season 1 which is on a book written by an ex cartel member turned US protected witness.It will give you a way better perspective of how cartels really work. Its also subtitled and pretty funny in a raw violent tarantino movie kind of way with less blood of course
>>64033953
If you watch closely you can see him walk into the bar right behind them.

yea i got that but i thought he was lying cos he thought del toro was gonna give him another wet willy

whoa so he was following them
i thought he just happened to be in the bar
whoa
>>64033116
she didn't even do anything, they made it clear why she was there
It was like three movies in one, naive girl vs tough reality, a look on US drug war, and a revenge movie. I don't think it worked well mixed together.
>>64034083
It\s far better insight on drug trade and war, sorry pleb. Villeneuve has nothing to say except some edgelord shit with his movie. It\s the most insulting type of half/assed polite attempt at \respectful exploitation\ that\s utterly worthless.
woo its br000tal look at the hanged b0dyyy.
woo cia operates illegally there
>>64034050
Fury Road, Lobster, Steve Jobs, Creed, Bridge of Spies, สุสานกษัตริย์.
>>64033946
his character wasnt supposed to tell us anything, he was a tool for the CIA, a guy with talent and desire who doesnt care if he dies, he gets his revenge and the CIA get what they want, a destabilized cartel.
the real point is that you cant stop the drug trade but you can gain some semblance of control in exchange for compromising all morals, ethics, and law enforcement principals.
that is what blunts character struggles to comprehend
>>64034090
The more things change the more they stay the same.
You didn't see the results. It's even noted that it's regular to put up fireworks when heads get swapped.

OK and? Even Ghost Protocal arrived to its point about intelligency agencies and technology in a far better way than Sicario did about its shitty polished hamfisted 'bOoOoooO Cia operates here' which we all knew at the start.
blunts character felt forced and that opening explosion was so dam predictable that i was about to shut the thing off.
glad i stuck with it though, the convoy and bridge scenes were dope

I thought maybe they changed tactics or something. But on that guys blog he spent a lot of time shit talking the Zero Dark Thirty SEAL as a greedy faggot and back stabber. So maybe that's why.
If you want to operate, check out the Strike Back series. It gets a bit too hollywood on occasion but for the most part its really great. And it has a great bromance and banter too.

He's a bad actor.
He actually ruined Way Of The Gun for me. Also ruined Breach.
He's like Hayden Christensen. Although Christensen actually did manage one good performance in his career.
>>64036693
No fuck you. It needed more fun fighting. Patrician or /tv/ movies can still contain excitement and not rely on camera angles.,
>>64036753
I assumed he was always "working" for a cartel.
Like most factions of Mexican law enforcement in the area.
Plus prosecutors in Columbia/Brazil are often former military or police.
No idea about Mexico, but doesn't seem like a stretch.
Why didn't they fly the prisoner over on an eagle?

>>64036802
Assuming he was a prosecutor in Colombia in the crazy cartel/FARC/paramilitary wars post-Escobar, he could easily have been an ex-special force or something. Prosecutors died on a weekly rate
>>64036802
This. It isn't a stretch to assume he was trained up by the CIA back in the 80's as a government anti-cartel/communist/whatever commando, then went into law, then back to killing, all the while being under the employ of the cartel in some way.
>>64035981
BESIDES THE OBVIOUS ONES BILLED AS OPERATOR MOVIES, CHECK THE 3RD ACT OF CAPTAIN PHILLIPS
ALSO ACT OF VALOR, ITS ACTUAL OPERATORS NOT ACTORS
>>64036845
Because the point was to get into mexico undetected by anyone including the cartel and the US agencies they work with, the FBI, us marshals, dea, etc all know about the task force so they cant just waltz into mexico through official channels
thats the whole point of going through the tunnel

The only good part of the film was wen del taco mutdered that family and mentioned God. Rest of the film was boring as bar shit.
Accept it /tv/ it was a COD build up.
>>64035981
The Objective. More of a horror movie but many of the operators in the movie were real ex delta and seals apparently.
>>64032247
benicio is my boy
>>64032247
It was operator western. Definitely not a masterspiece, but good enough, i liked it.
>>64036948
I think it would be more realistic if he was ex special Colombian special forces and was a prosecutor on the Medellin payroll, which is why an enemy cartel killed his family. Idk, just speculation.
>>64037054
Why watch movies at all then?
>>64036948
>>64036913
Well, if he had been former law enforcement/military and working for a Cartel, many of those guys in that field went to The School Of The America's to learn how to kill commies.
Some of them ended up forming their own Cartels. Or were already working for anti-Commie drug runners anyway.
>>64037098
what if i told you tactical operator shit is the modern day western
why is it so hard for people to believe a guy involved with the CIA and drug cartels could be taught operator shit?
Theres literally an entire cartel in mexico made up of former mexican special forces and federal agents its not exactly thermodynamics
>>64037102
Yeah that's kind of what I meant. Then the whole thing loops back around to the cia training him in the first place 30 years ago. Shit, Brolin has probably known him the entire time.
>>64037136
>>64037199
Thought the same, Brolin's character was definitely training people under the CIA before this
>>64037143
Three graves, No Country for Old Men and Justified are not tactical operator at all.
>>64037258
Mad, do i love Brolin in that movie. He made half of it.
>>64037185
>Theres literally an entire cartel in mexico made up of former mexican special forces and federal agents
Many of whom went to school here >>64037136
And don't forget guys like Noriega or Blandon, who were all happily working for the CIA and Cartels at one point or another.

>Hurt Locker was great IMO, Zero Dark Thirty was a disaster in comparison. If military advisors were used, they faked their credentials or were ignored by the production team. Silly mannerisms, sweeping each other on target, yelling out loud, and moving through the target like a bunch of BUD/S students clearing a target for the first time. A hearty WTF over? Two thumbs down and a face palm. Full review pointing out how embarrassed I was to see this movie coming soon. Painful to even write it...

eh?
Shit movie but made for Nolan-Tarantino crowd so /tv/ eats it up.
>>64039268
I don't like Nolan. The only Tarantino movie I liked was Inglorious Basterds.
>>64032388
what did you think of it?
>>64039236
Basically talking (let alone yelling) when "on target" doesn't ever happen unless the place is secured, and "sweeping" is where they move their gun barrels across the path of another member in the team (which could lead to an accidental discharge and a friendly fire injury).
>>64039184
As said above, a lot of prosecutors/judges etc in places like Colombia or Brazil used to be in the military or police. So it's not a stretch to think Del Toro did some time in the police or army before becoming a prosecutor.
Also, as is the point of the film (and reality), even a "good" prosecutor like Del Toro is probably on the pay roll of a Cartel. In his case maybe a more orderly and co-operative Cartel. He could just be straight.
In the 80's, the "CIA" (probably different government agencies) trained a lot of Latin American military, police and also generally unpleasant people like certain co-operative Cartels (see this post >>64037316 about U.S. "friendly" drug kingpins like Noriega or Blandon - Noriega got out of line and the U.S. smashed him, Blandon's main street level connection in the U.S. "Freeway" Ricky Ross eventually got busted - Blandon gave up Cocaine smuggling to work for the DEA. As in with an office and desk, not a snitch. He was a "good" Cartel fella, because his Cocaine riches were being used to fund anti communist militias in Nicaragua) to Fight The Spread Of Communism. This led to a lot of disreputable behavior on the behalf of people working nominally for U.S. interests. Death Squads basically.
One such group were a bunch of Ex Mexican Special Forces who were trained in Georgia at the infamous School Of The America's, which gets called Dictator School and the like. They went to town killing commies, and when that work dried up, they went to work as muscle for a Cartel. Then they decided, hey...fuck it. We'll just run our OWN Cartel. They ended up as Los Zeta's. One of the more feared and grotesque Cartel groups.

>Mike Vining is a retired US Army Sergeant Major who joined the military in 1968. Until 1978, he served in several Explosive Ordonance Disposal units. He was deployed to vietnam for one year in 1970. In 1978, he volunteered to join the newly formed 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment – Delta (Airborne).
>During his service in the Special Forces, Vining participated in several big operations. During the Operation Eagle Claw, he survived a plane crash.
>In 1983, he was deployed during Operation Urgent Fury. During Operation Desert Storm, he was stationed in Ar’ar, Saudi Arabia, and in 1994 he was the Senior Enlisted Advisor for Joint Task Force 188 on the USS AMERICA during Operation Uphold Democracy.
Get some sort of political science/language degree, join Army, join Green Berets or Rangers, join Delta, get recruited for CIA.
Easy.

What's so great about him, what has he done while on missions
I liked it, you'd think top operators would have more trigger discipline though.
Also it seems like the guy from The Walking Dead is forever to be cast as a woman beater.

Some very intense scenes and some very weak
Found myself just browsing /tv/ while it was running in the background because sometimes there's just nothing on screen, and it's a 2h10 movie
Still, really satisfied at the end, good shit

Stretching out the movie to raise the tension and make the key scenes feel more important is a good trick, just a bit overused here for my tastes
Just try not to have an autism attack over it
>>64040306
so youre one of those people
It was okay
Overall I really liked it. The pacing is awkward at times, patchy during the beginning and a little slow during the middle, but the entire last act was gripping and enticing, and the scenes where the director is trying to make things tense are absolutely superb. The bridge crossing and the mansion scenes are the best in the film. It doesn't pussy out and give a 'happy' ending, it gives an ending that fits the film perfectly. Unfortunately despite Brolin's great performance his character seems played out, as do some of the other law enforcement people, but Blunt and del Toro's characters are great. Visually it's beautiful and it's themes are mature and interesting while still being accessible without falling into dumbness.
8.5/10, maybe a soft 9 for me
>implying Alejandro wasn't a beastly man
He should have let the kids live
>>64041387
The movie is all about Old Testament eye for an eye.
That's why the Sicario/Zealot was shown in the beginning.
>>64041430
Then he should have left one of them alive
>>64041387
HE WANTED TO TAKE EVERYTHING FROM THE MAN WHO ORDERED HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER KILLED
IT WAS LITERALLY >NOTHING PERSONNEL TO THOSE KIDS, HE WANTED HIM TO DIE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT HIS FAMILY WAS DEAD
>>64041463
Eye for an eye with interest.
>>64040898
This.
Tension goes a long way for me and the visuals, coupled with that great score, created a constant air of engrossing dread throughout the film.
And I found that Brolin stole the show. Just blended in to the world perfectly.
My only complaint would be that Blunt's character didn't seem all that attached to what was going on around her, both by not knowing was what happening and having few good reasons to care. I understand the point and purpose of her character and Blunt did rather well with what she was given but she could have been a more well-rounded character.
Why did Del Taco give Shane a wet willy?
>>64041811
he didn't, he was pushing hard against his inner ear, very painful
>>64041524
JUST ONE ENTIRE FAMILY FOR ANOTHER, IF HE HAD 20 KIDS WOULDA SHOT EM ALL
