SICARIO (2015) FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@Californiablend]

❤BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY❤ PROVERBS 19:21 KJV 21 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.

How much of your life did you give away to hotelscom to show this video?

[@scottdarden3091]

[@stevehope4572]

You got that I don't give a fuck in you

[@LazloHo]

The final scene is my favorite. It's subtle and brilliant. Alejandro IS a good guy. Maybe he's an anti-hero, but he's on the side of the angels. The last scene, where he holds the gun on her to get the signature, is part of that. If he was bad, he could have just killed her. He could have let her hang herself, and ruin her own career, by picking a fight that she wouldn't win (her bosses knew, they wanted that kind of victory). He knew that her morals were going to get in the way, though, and so he gave her an out. By holding the gun on her, he 'forced' her to sign it, and gave her the out she needed to say that she'd still done the right thing. She only signed because she was forced, right?

[@ogchamps1]

If you blow away 2 innocent children and their mother your not a good guy.

[@LazloHo]

@@ogchamps1 I said he was an an anti-hero. If you're too reductive about it, you are left with either of good or bad and good guys fight bad guys. If Alejandro isn't a good guy, it means the cartel leader that he killed is the good guy. That clearly doesn't work. It's a good thing we have that additional distinction of the anti-hero, eh? But none of that detracts from the larger point I was making. With her, he was the good guy. At the end of the film, he was taking the time to do something good for her. He had no selfish incentive to do that, he didn't need to do it. Since it was a good act, and not selfishly motivated, that makes him a good guy.

[@sertu1462]

I think that looking for a good guy is kinda missing the point of the movie. Alejandro is neither good nor bad. He has his own motive, vengeance. Some of the things he does for that goal are ultimately good, some are bad. It doesn't matter. The "greater good" isn't really his concern. It wasn't about giving her an out either, he needed that signiture and he was threatening her in order ot get that. That threat clearly wasn't a bluff. And don't tell me he's working for the "angels" when it's US drug policy is the very thing that birthed all of this cartel violence in the first place. Every time they take out a drug lord, it creates a power vacuum that other drug organisations fight over. You literally see it in the scene where the guard shows Kate the "fireworks" after they arrest some high ranking cartel guy. The harder they enforce drug laws, the more profiteable the drug trade becomes due to the increased risk. Higher reward means more brutal means in order to gain that reward. The more the government tries to intervene, the more blood flows, both in real life and in the movie. For example, the notoriously brutal cartel war between the Gulf Cartel and it's armed wing, Los Zetas, only started after the arrest of Osiel Cárdenas Guillén, the leader of the Gulf Cartel. It was a conflict over who gets to inherit the empire. This war was where the trend to torture captives to death on camera for intimidation started to get popularised, btw. God only knows how many civilians got burtalised by the Zetas. This level of violence didn't exist a century ago, all of this is a result of the "war on drugs". Alejandro may have taken out a big drug lord in the end, but in the last scene, there's still gunshots being fired. The US government didn't save Mexico. They aren't the hero, either.

[@_Coffee4Closers]

The director does a great job of making the audience think that Kate is the protagonist in this movie, but in the end you realize it was a trick... it was really Alejandro. Kate was just a throw away caricature meant to distract you away from the real story. It was a brilliant technique.

[@truewilliams7118]

This is a really underrated film

[@AnthonyAscue]

In a lot of ways she was also kind of the antagonist lol

[@scottdarden3091]

"you're asking me how a watch works, for now let's just keep an eye on the time" one of my all time favorite movie lines 😊

[@lovingeorge88]

Also "Nothing will make sense to your American ears, and you will doubt everything that we do, but in the end you will understand." Kind of sums up kate and the viewers POV

[@codyprice2616]

Taylor Sheridan is the screenwriter of this film. He’s written some great films and he is dominating television right now. I highly recommend his films: Hell or High Water (stars Chris Pine, Jeff Bridges and Ben Foster and Taylor Sheridan’s Academy Award nominated screenplay), Wind River (stars Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen), Sicario: Day of the Soldado (stars Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro), and Those Who Wish Me Dead (stars Angelina Jolie, Jon Bernthal, and Nicolas Hoult). I highly recommend all his TV Shows: Yellowstone (in its 5th and last season stars Kevin Costner), Mayor of Kingstown (currently in its 3rd season stars Jeremy Renner), 1883 (prequel miniseries to Yellowstone stars Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill), Tulsa King (about to release it’s 2nd season starring Sylvester Stallone), 1923 (prequel to Yellowstone but sequel to 1883 currently filming it’s second season starring Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, and Timothy Dalton), Special Ops: Lioness (currently filming it’s 2nd season starring Zoe Saldana, Nicole Kidman, and Morgan Freeman), and Lawmen Bass Reaves (miniseries starring David Oyelowo, Dennis Quaid, and Donald Sutherland).

[@kaijucobalt2064]

The movie Traffic (2000) is a lot like this, and also stars Benicio Del Toro. It focuses on telling the war on drugs from different perspectives, and could almost be considered a spiritual predecessor to Sicario. If you found this movie compelling, I recommend it. Unfortunately it is just about as disturbing, but I feel like it’s a really impactful companion piece. It shows much more of the civilian perspective. Great video!

[@scratchmonkey]

"Grand and intimate at the same time" I'm stealing that great quote.

[@naysay02]

subbed just because of that

[@BIGxBOSSxx1]

“He makes each of his worlds feels so grand and intimate at the same time” YES! What a perfect way to say it.

[@undbiter65]

"Papa" doesn't get a choice. They get two choices "silver or lead" roughly translated. Money or a bullet. With family usually threatened. Happens to US border agents too.

[@28sceptor]

In addition to a great script by Sheridan and an over all fantastic film by Villeneuve, Sicario is absolutely stunning thanks to Roger Deakins. A modern classic.

[@jeremypage3370]

Great reaction. Really powerful movie. It's hard to wrap my head around how versatile Denis V. is as a director. He seems to be able to navigate different genres of film without breaking a sweat. His Dune movies are setting the bar pretty high for sci-fi, but this movie was my first intro to him and remains my favorite.

[@bobbycorrigan7969]

I have watched many reactions to this movie, yours was absolutely the best. 👍🙏🌹

[@Richie8406]

24:19 They are not Delta, they are a not Tier 1 unit. They don't want scared cops shooting them in the back

Look up Taylor Sheridan's credits as a writer. You will find he has written some of the best movie screenplays in recent history. Hell or High Water is a favorite of mine.

"Do yall not think that they're capable?" Keep in mind, those soldiers are supposed to be Delta guys. We're talking about a group of some of the best fighters in the world, so no, a couple of FBI agents are not close to capable, compared to them.

[@Viper72]

Exactly…. The bridge scene is so cool cause you already know those cartel guys are fucked 10 different ways from Sunday when you have a delta detachment working with you guys.

[@twoheart7813]

One of my favorite movies, Benicio Del Toro did an awesome job as kind of an anti hero character, the Dirty Harry of the 2000s with a little 70's Death Wish sprinkled in.

[@toddmaginn4076]

Great reaction…Taylor Sheridan is a genius…writes so much truth in his projects…I wish more people would understand THIS is the way the world is actually run…you should check out LIONESS too.

[@svtcontour]

An incredible movie. Just incredible.

[@xexorweglin]

3:18 When you potentially get killed, there's no one to get traumatized by your death or left uncared for if you don't have immediate family. And, ofc, there's no one to threaten to gain leverage over you.

[@kyleshockley1573]

Roger Deakins once talked about how the approach to lighting should try to avoid complexity, several light sources at various lumens, reflectors, placed shadows, etc. He said, "Nah, just two light sources. Natural if you can swing it. You can do a lot with a window and a lamp if you know your equipment and train your eye to know what to look for." No idea if the cartels are as complex as portrayed here, but they're as brutal as shown. Those people hanging from the overpass, if it was real life they'd probably let them see and hear what they were doing to them before killing them. Don't do drugs, kids. There's more than just us in the cartel equation, but not doing them is at least one step in ensuring that an industry where death follows it at every step isn't helped along by you. If evil is to reign in this world, don't let it be through you or your habits.

[@vividratsculpordwarf]

12:06 it's waterboarding. It's a way to torture people without leaving physical evidence of it.

He didn't want any Lawyers, so you know right there, they was going to be on some BS, sometimes people don't want that smart person around someone that might ask questions, and get a people with no family ties to anyone, if they were to disappear no one will miss them.

[@kennethfelker2619]

You see that Good People, crossing a line,because in their world now,Morals are a weakness, even when he had a gun (which was hers) I think the order was too kill here,but he tried to find a better way to accomplish the goals of his superiors,because he really liked kate,because she reminded him of her daughter, you must watch TRAFFIC it is an absolute CLASSIC

[@AnonymousSaiyan]

This film is fantastic and a masterpiece. The sequel is worth checking out, but this could be a stand alone story in itself, and be perfect. There has been work done for a third one as well slightly, but it hasn't been picked up and been in a state of limbo. Hopefully they can get the third one made.

[@QuantumFlux_22]

The sequel to this movie is worth watching for Benicio Del Toro's performance alone!

[@GarrickMerriweather]

My fav director: Deni V My fav writer: Taylor Sherridan

As one of the most important movies of all time, especially right now, you should really watch Come and See. Its a Russian movie about Belarus. Go in blind. Also your art is awesome!!!

Bernthal is in FORD VS. FERRARI. Might want to add this movie to ur list. Matt Damon is in it too.

[@ArabianLady]

This one was so disturbing for me. It was visceral and gut punching. I didn't feel well after watching. I watched after seeing Emily Blunt in A Quiet Place, and it's sequel. I loved both of those. This one just left me unsettled. I hope you get more out of it. I am only commenting to tell you I am still trying to support you by watching, but this one was one I regretted. :(

México ❤❤❤❤

[@philshorten3221]

Check out the golden oldie ZULU (introducing Michael Caine in a lead role) The movie doesn't pick sides, there's a great dialogue "why us?" "because we're here lad, there's no one else... just us" So a British film would usually have the British Army as the absolute good guys... except it's the Zulu who show absolute bravery. It's the British in someone else's country, but this is further complicated by the ZULU crossing a border to get at the last of the invaders. Fun Facts despite South African law at the time the Zulu were fully paid. The Zulu Warriors are actually Zulu The Zulu King is played by his real life direct descendant!

[@Joshua_-The_Burned_Man-_Graham]

"The border" scene is how to show and tell a narrative. Everything happened as they said it would. However, the intensity and uncertainty to and from the border crossing was well executed.

[@2tone753]

As long as there are people who consume the dirt that the cartels offer. As long as there are "normal" people who consume the dirt but act as if they have nothing to do with the consequences of their own actions, these types of business people and customers will exist. Quote: "Who taught us this?" You yourself, it needed no instructor or role model. Whenever there were two people, one tried to have what belonged to the other. Now "worthy" cartel boss, a product of your business policy (killing whoever is bothering you) has arrived at your home and is sitting at the table with you, your wife and the children. The, who only lived according to his own laws, has reached the end of the journey with his family. You turned the former representative of the law into a killer. No one other than yourself is responsible for what happens. Dear Kate, you were only there for formal legal reasons. Nobody needed you. Delta, Brolin, Alejandro etc. are 1000x times more qualified. You don't even understand the whole thing yet. Don't get in these people's way. This is now the land of the wolves.

[@whywerentyouthere]

[@bujabusiness]

I liked your review because I think you kind of caught on that Kate needed to redefine her boundaries. She wants to do everything by the book which is probably great for an NFBI agent but she's working with CIA now and her unwillingness to bend the rules to actually solve something kind of makes her a villain in this movie. She doesn't care about solving the problem nearly as much as following procedure.

[@kamerongaxiola10]

[@Mstribling67]

The opening scene confuses people sometimes. It’s a kill house. Those people are alive and stuffed in the walls and Sheetrock in gives the sensation of being buried alive without digging a grave which is noticeable. Easy, cheap and nightmarish.

If you imagine that the reality in Mexican cities such as Colima (voted the most dangerous city in the world in 2022), Juárez, Ciudad Obregón and Caracas (Venezuela), San Pedro Sula (Honduras), Pretoria (South Africa) and Durban (South Africa) actually looks like or similar to the movie, it really is deeply disturbing. In real life, just like in “Sicario”, it's always about drugs, violence and tons of money. “Sicario” is breathtakingly staged, the actors are great (especially Benicio del Toro and Emily Blunt) and director Denis Villeneuve shows disturbing images that seem to come straight from hell. A mercilessly realistic - and incredibly suspenseful - thriller about the drug war in Mexico.
