I was so aware of logic that Star Wars being fiction and a cartel movie being fiction are two different things when one is based off a nonfictional issue in the real world. I still enjoyed the movie, but I fail to see why people get so whiney that the dude that lived and breathed fighting the cartels is maybe not going to be able to just look past glaring things they are so knowledgeable themselves on.

And if it wanders far enough away from the real world situation it portrays, someone who went through it is probably gonna be like “this is way out in left field.” People are getting so butthurt like little children that a dude who fought narcos for decades doesn’t like a movie they like for his own legitimate, clearly valid reasons.

he's not necessarily calling the movie horrible, he's calling the realism and accuracy horrible. imagine having personal experience in something and then watching a glorification of its fictionalization. you'd probably think it's shit, too

[@leepicciotto]

I don't really think a regular border agent can speak on covert CIA operations using delta force. While sicario is fiction(though inspired by a true story Sheridan was told by a female agent who happened to heavily inspire Emily blunts character ) the United states has conducted several operations with goals as shown in the movie that only ended up making the situation worse. Taking out the main kingpins destroyed any level of control and just turned it all into hyper violent chaos. The movie is a masterpiece in my own personal opinion and the only tiny little thing that could make it even better would've been to set it a just a few years back in time.

I think Sicario is a masterpiece cinematically. In terms of cultural accuracy, I feel like it is accurate, but only the extreme aspects of it. But why make a film about the basic stuff?

[@machtnichtsseimann]

Movies, including documentaries, aren't "realistic", because they are edited down to 1 1/2 to 2 hours. So, they are slices of life, on the most part. That said, who the hell knows what goes on behind-the-scenes with the CIA and cartels and Juarez. Even when I hear from a former Mexican policeman or ex-CIA I'm still wondering what they are affirming or denying out of principle or protection for their families, former co-workers / team members, or oaths sworn in their former professions? Fear of retribution? Or just not telling the public what they can't handle. "Sicario" seems entirely realistic. Technically, of course it's not a "documentary".

first of all he works at the border and you dont, also you dont know shit so stfu sir

[@SideStrafed]

Xem nas I LIVE on the border so I know more about everyone here including him

[@ant1952]

Dude listen to the fucking podcast. He was a police officer and border agent in Mexico, not in the US. He knows it FAR better than anybody in the DEA

[@ernestovalencia8227]

Xem nas my dude please read he was a COP in Mexico not border patrol.

[@Skylyned]

Did this dude even watch the movie? He's thinking Del Toro's character is a border patrol agent??

[@gtcam723]

I mean, the cartels do behave like terrorists in many instances.

[@johnhancock2667]

Trump needs to do it. Treat the border as a military zone and put up a damn minefield.

[@rayn.2688]

The guests on this podcast no longer come off as genuine anymore. I feel like they all talk a certain way hoping it sounds profound so the clip can go viral

"He rocked a MP5." So, he chose a pistol caliber subgun while everyone else has rifle caliber weapons... He's a lame.

[@Hkfanboy]

On 2Wheels he needs a mk18

[@gabrielschultz89]

You gotta run with nostalgia, irl he would choose a rifle.

[@victorbonilla8755]

Yes but he was fighting the cartel mean while you are attacking people on line, he may be lame but you are a pussy troll

[@on2wheels378]

@@victorbonilla8755 Do you really fight the cartels though? How many leaders of the cartel's have been locked up or killed. Did it stop? Did COVID19 stop the drug use in the US? Nope... YOu can't fight cartels when governments, including ours cooperate with them because Americans LOVE ILLEGAL DRUGS...

Half of all the comments: "Of course this movie is not fully realistic! How dare you to even mention what I consider as a fact already?!?! Waaaa" And the other half is like: "You are not even a real agent! This movie is 100% realistic!! GTFO!"

true

Sicario will go down as a masterpiece. So many quotable lines in the movie.

[@JPfirm619]

He saying the movie was horrible is terribly wrong.

What's your opinion on The Snap?

That guy is crazy Sicario pretty close to the truth

[@herrschniedler4207]

Sicario 1 is brilliant! S2 also really great

[@senorbob2909]

Sicario 2 first half was fun, but then it got into B movie territory. Sicario 1 is a masterpiece.

Hope the Democrats watch this and understand there is a crisis at the border

[@stehan1422]

Hey JR, love the EC vids on Mexican reality

[@VisionaryChad]

Sicario cinematically is superb. And as some already commented, its a movie. There will tend to be exaggeration but in Sicario it's purposeful. It's a brutal, unforgiving, and complex situation and should be depicted as such.

[@An0nim0u5]

The movies were very well made and were entertaining... After watching that I did not think that that's what goes on the border but instead that my experience as a movie-goer was satisfied... And unlike superhero movies it did not have senseless and mindless action... It kept things real (mostly)...

[@robertadams205]

Whatever. I don't like this guy. Expert.Okay. Hes just some guy giving his opinion.

This has aged well, he had Taylor Sheridan on a month ago talking about the greatness of his writing.

[@justinpitcock5312]

Del toro’s character was never pretending to be a border agent. He was pretending to be an American DOD advisor while working with the CIA. So no matter how high up dude was in Mexico he definitely got that wrong. No one on Garber’s team ever pretends to work for the Mexican government. They work with them to pick up Diaz’s cousin or brother and that’s it. So him wasting his time being mad over a gun was just stupid on his part. Might be time to watch the movie again buddy.
