U guys gonna react to two: the ones who live?

[@Chris_tothefuture]

The sequel isn't a true sequel. The writer basically wrote three scripts and they optioned two of them so the second one is just sort of another story. it's cool, but not as amazing. look into that a little bit to learn more.

[@grantwilliams4384]

Can you guys watch sandlot or sandlot 2?

[@OrionInSpace]

To this day one of my all time favorite movies. Everything from the border scene on the thruway, to the way that Denis handles the dialouge and tension of each scene, to even the INCREDIBLE cinematography that shows that shooting on location makes everything look better and more cinematic. 2016 really was the year for incredible cinematography given The Revenant is what beat Sicario out.🙏

[@williamswiniuch7527]

The ending pissed me off

[@sparksdrinker5650]

Fun movie but it has the worst foot chase of all time

[@waterbeauty85]

15:57 Ed Calderon said that, when he completed training as a cop in Mexico, the first task he was given was "bring the bolt cutters," and he was excited because he thought he would be using them to cut to a lock off a door to bust in on a drug lab, but instead, he had to use them to cut the chains off of some bodies that were hung from a bridge. One of the veteran cops commented to him that the cartel that did it were being merciful, and when Carderon asked "How is this merciful?" the vet said "They're letting the families have the bodies to mourn over." That bodies and the vet's perspective were very eye opening for him.

[@raziele92]

It's crazy to believe that El Paso,Tx was given the award of safest city in the country, being right next door to a city that rivaled Chi Town as one of the most dangerous.

[@miguelgenovata6250]

they were also merciful with the part that some causes of deaths were a bullet to the head, some get hanged or "showcased" in public with visible mutilation in the body, some even skinned completely and some headless. might as well guess those that deal with the cartel has one rule that states when caught by cartel just choose the easy way out before it's too late

[@TheGoIsWin21]

​@@raziele92lmao dude Juarez has one of the highest murder rates in the WORLD, and Chicago isn't even close. The Juarez Murder rate per 100k is like three or four times higher than Chicago

[@potterj09]

I love Ed. The fact he wanted to be a Doctor but ended up a forged warrior and still is such a kind, well-spoken guy says a lot. 😎

[@thereject505]

One of my cousins in Chihuahua went missing for 2 months, the other day a random group of people found his head in the middle of the desert. They either use you as an intimidation tactic or make you disappear and it all depends on which cartel does it.

[@waterbeauty85]

16:29 According to the DVD commentary, those missing person posters visible past Alejandro's head include posters for his wife and daughter.

[@BIGxBOSSxx1]

Denis Villeneuve is probably the best movie director today. Every single movie of his is a fucking hit

[@Helldog6]

Agreed. The guy is incredible. Super underrated.

[@dicekolev5360]

The difference is that Nolan's exposition is way faster and I can give tens of examples where people I know wouldn't watch Denis movies because they are too long...

[@KyleV00]

@@dicekolev5360so those people would also believe a Kubrick film isn’t worth watching because they’re lengthy? Such a shame.

Benicio was robbed of an oscar nomination for this movie. One of the best supporting performances I’ve seen in a long time.

[@Wood-Block707]

He swagged through the whole movie. I loved it.

[@juancolorado9577]

This movie is part of The Frontier Trilogy. The others are Hell or High Water and Wind River. They are not connected to each other, and you can watch them in any order. You should consider watching them.

[@vongoethe111]

Yes and yes.

[@DinerLingo]

Reminds me of Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogy (All the Pretty Horses, The Crossing & Cities on the Plain). FWIW All the Pretty Horses may be the most popular of the three novels, but The Crossing is by far my personal favorite of the three.

[@dang3r611]

Yeah. All the scripts were written by Taylor Sheridan.

[@ThePartisan13]

Really? I mean they're just written by Taylor Sheridan, what makes them a trilogy? I would imagine once yellowstone is over he'll be back to writing movies.

The whole Juarez and border scenes are some of the most gripping, excellently executed moments in cinema EVER. The border shootout especially. A fcking phenomenal scene. Also, Benicio was just spectacular here.

[@philipdavidson8420]

Don't know why, but I just love it when Benicio says "pistola" (shoot-out scene) 😊

Arrival

[@leonthesleepy]

So far its either Blade Runner or Prisoners!

[@batbrick3949]

Dune

[@abhicricket]

You guys need to check out Incendies. Definitely his most hard hitting work if not the best

[@edmo922]

Arrival. No question. My favorite movie ever.

[@luissantos7343]

Not a popular choice, but to this day, this is my favorite Villeneuve movie followed closely by Prisoners. I want him to return to this kind of movie so bad.

[@mean7404]

100% agree. I wish he was the one to do Sicario 3 or even literally anything like it. He does it so incredibly well.

[@werewolfofmandalore]

I discovered Denis through Blade Runner 2049, that film is so exquisitely shot, directed and actually has a story unlike the original where Deckard just meanders around into replicants. Its worth a serious watch. I had the pleasure of watching it in an empty theater(i was living in a small town), truly an experience ill never forget.

[@Ebyruchan]

this movie honestly blew me away the first time i saw it, and i still get chills at certain scenes rewatching it. so glad you guys chose to jump into this crazy, dark world.

[@vRoD-jr5ue]

It's not revenge, it's JUSTICE.

[@zachnotzack4]

If ever, EVER, you hear someone say "these boys are here from Delta", its absolutely time for you to go 😂

[@jakepolers3393]

Mann. Thanos and Collector makes Punisher crying in this movie 🤣

[@waterbeauty85]

The sequel, "Sicario: Day of the Soldado," has good action sequences, good cinematography and good acting (particularly by Isabela Merced), and the turns the principle characters take are interesting. However, the story that's presented on screen doesn't support the character changes very convincingly - to use the vernacular, they seem "unearned." It makes me wonder if there was more character development that ended up on the cutting room floor. Even with this criticism, it's a film worth watching.

[@ThePartisan13]

Explain?

[@prathapkutty7407]

Agreed it made me a fan of isabela merced. I'm looking forward to seeing her play hawkgirl in Superman legacy.

[@MarioBario]

No Denis Villeneuve, no thanks. Its clear why its an inferior movie

[@Swanky2024]

PLEASE watch the sequel. Sicario 2: day of the soldado. Honestly such a great build up

[@rrkkmindsvids8774]

the kidnaped girl was soooo cringe.... in that movie.

[@MarioBario]

No Denis Villeneuve, so it's clear why it's an inferior movie.

[@Swanky2024]

@MarioBario the writer is the same for both movies, and the new director is good as well

[@batbrick3949]

Easter egg: the joke about Jon Bernthal’s character striking out in softball is funny, as he was a pro baseball player before he was an actor.

[@grumpymercer621]

Jeffrey Donovan's character is based off of real life Delta Force operator Sergeant Major Mike Vining, who used to look exactly like that.

[@adriangalvez6960]

Bro, cinematography, story line, performances and action aside, the signature score to this movie and the sequel literally give me chills every time I hear it..even got it on Spotify lol freakin crazy…

[@streaky81]

This movie is actually kinda famous for the fact the dudes going into the tunnels were unspecified USSF - there's some disagreement over which but the most plausible is they were SEALs. BTW this movie is part of Taylor Sheridan's (the man, the myth, the legend) thematic trilogy under the heading of frontier justice - if you want more MCU actors this trilogy is wall-to-wall with them - Hell or High Water, then Wind River, they're both as good as if not better than this. The titular sequel to this that came after those other two is.. watchable, even entertaining, but ultimately disappointing: I think it's because Taylor Sheridan probably felt a little forced into writing it.

[@calebjeter6012]

Sicario is my favorite crime movie so I’m hyped that y’all chose to react to this film🔥

[@jor89088]

Imagine all that carnage, living through that fear everyday in Juarez. Thats how it was back in 2006, all the way to present day. Its not as bad as it was back then, but the fear remains.

[@GameZedd01]

I've spent months trying to figure out who the white guy reminded me of and I just got it. He reminds me off the fed in this movie with the glasses and moustache! Lol

[@charleshartley9597]

Such an amazing movie. I never tire of watching people react to this. Great reaction, guys!

[@stevenreyngold1166]

This movie is chilling not just for the darkness and gore, but for the realism. It gave average people a glimpse into the absolute brutality and lack of respect for life that exists in the Mexican cartels and the drug trade. The crazy thing is that this is relatively mild compared to the actual torture, death, and depravity that exists around the border.

[@jakeseymour5185]

One of my professors I've had since I started film school was a producer on this movie. The level of planning that went into the Jaures border crossing scene to get the brother was insane. I got to see the hundreds of story boards that went with just that scene as well

[@viciousxsam]

So funny, every time I see Andrew in other video’s I have to think about the character Jeffrey Donovan is playing in Sicario and now he’s watching this movie. 😂

[@edudario1974]

Everybody forgets INCENDIES... A 2010 film, before Prisioners. That movie is so so good. And it has such a hard hitting twist. Villeneuve is so talented in so many levels. There's something he manages very well... tension building, suspense and showing less and suggesting more. In certain violence scenes, he prefers to let you listen instead of being graphic. Like the toruture scene here. You listen to what happens and imagine what Alejandro was doing to the prisioner. Villeneuve is my favorite director today.

[@aphextwin5712]

I love how chill Josh Brolin’s character is in most scenes. It reminded me of his character in “Into the Blue”.

[@AdrianLvX]

OIS would be officer involved shooting. She was involved in four previous incidents where an officer shot someone or was shot.

[@brandonsimmons1695]

If a student ever takes a class on Cinematography, I’d show them this movie on day 1

[@thenerdywave2007]

Great Reaction Aaron and Andrew! This movie is so great and intense! 👍

[@DinerLingo]

Greig Fraser was the cinematographer for "Dune" (he did "The Creator," "Rogue One" & "The Batman" too, amongst others). Roger Deakins was the cinematographer for Villeneuve's "Prisoners," "Sicario" & "Blade Runner 2049." Deakins finally won his first Oscar for Blade Runner 2049 after 13 previous nominations. He was basically the Susan Lucci of cinematographers lol.

[@p0laris74yt8]

Bit late to this, but if y’all wanna check out a film directed by one of the writers of this, Taylor Sheridan, you should check out Wind River. That’s another beautifully shot with a great atmosphere and cast that’s sadly not talked about much (as far as I know).

[@MarioBario]

Denis Villeneuve is so good at sci-fi and realistic films

[@stephenmalloy88]

Good job gents! Sicario is my favorite crime movie since Heat. You did a great edit and reaction.

[@xhighone]

When the dude in the car says 'i'm getting a boner" when he spots the spotter vehicle, it's shorthand for 'hey guys get ready for shit to hit the fan' ... his way of implying he's cool and collected and is ready for action.

[@razorfett147]

That look Alejandro gives her at the end as she has her gun trained on him from the balcony. He's willing to let her pull the trigger, but that look on his face almost seems to say "Do you REALLY want to become like me??" She doesn't. Lowers her gun, thus proving him right: she isn't a wolf

[@jconcepcion83]

"lots of. MCU characters here" yeah. They'll all work for the Mouse eventually

[@HidingFromDaylight]

Sicario is the first installment of Taylor Sheridan's trilogy on "the modern-day American frontier". I highly recommend you watch the other two movies, Wind River and Hell or High Water. They are every bit as good if not better. Wind River is my personal favorite.

[@jeromedutil-martin6823]

Other Villeneuve movies worth watching are his french-canadian movies. - "Incendies" (2010). A mother send her twin children on a search for a brother they never knew and a father they thought dead. - "Polytechnique" (2009). About the 1989 Montreal's École Polytechnique shooting. Should be watched in the original language (french), with english subtitles.

[@DinerLingo]

Incendies blew me away. I watched it after seeing Arrival w/o knowing anything about it other than it won the best international feature film Oscar. Whoa. The simple premise in your synopsis above really doesn't prepare you for how good it is. Definitely a film that's best going in knowing only the most basic of info.

[@cherylblossom8687]

The scenery that you're seeing is New Mexico and is there is never a time where you look at the Sun or the surroundings and not be in awe. That's why it's called the land of enchantment because thousands of artists have come there and spent their lives painting the skies as they're different every day

[@MrVad3r]

i rate this director higher than nolan at this point. dude is on a whole different plane when it comes to creativity and direction. cant wait for dune 2 and his future projects.

[@protovision2010]

great movie + reaction! The atmosphere, acting, story and music in this film is SO good! Although all his films are great, my fave by Denis would be 'Blade Runner 2049' 👍

[@bustereriksson2322]

This amazing score was composed by Jóhann Jóhannsson, who tragically passed away back in 2018 at just 48 years old. He was so damn good.

[@Aragonsdick5170]

The music was anxiety inducing AF in this film. Intense from beginning to end. The director understands story telling in the smoothest way ever. Great choice.

[@DanV900]

Sicario is such a great movie and Benecio Del Toro inexplicably wasn’t nominated for an Oscar. Taylor Sheridan is a great writer and Hell or High Water and Wind River are must watches. He is of course famous for Yellowstone now.

[@jpicard81]

Fausto Alarcón "El Verdugo" is the top boss, Manuel Díaz "Cara de Vinagre" is his right hand. Best nickname ever, by the way: Vinegar Face.

[@PeloquinDavid]

If you want to see an earlier Villeneuve film (before he joined the Hollywood scene) that has a similar - but, if anything, MORE horrific - take on violence (in an Arab-country civil war context) and what it does to people, try out "Incendies". It's the movie that best shows how lack of a big budget has never stopped Villeneuve from making a film that can grab you and make you wonder where all the emotions you feel came from...

[@samturner6061]

Training + Experience for sure but only a few of us will still be able to keep a cool head in situations like that. What you need is a certain level of.... apathy. You could say 'mental issues' are helpful for military roles. You have to have such a degree of apathy that you can essentially pretend to not be afraid or pretend to ignore what's going on. My experience with such things is through a traumatic attack on the streets and various altercations throughout life since then. You can really train as much as you want but nothing prepares you for the micro-differences, for the situational differences of a real encounter. When it starts to kick off and you feel that zing of adrenaline, that surge of fear, you really h ave to CONTROL your own state of mind to stay cool through that.

Please react to the sequel “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” (2018). It’s as good as the first one. By the way, this is not the first time Benicio Del Toro and Emily Blunt were involved together in a movie. You guys could react to “The Wolfman” (2010). A remake of the 1941 film. They were both in the lead role together with Anthony Hopkins & Hugo Weaving in this remake film. The rating for this movie is not high because somehow it doesn’t meet a lot of audiences’ expectations. Luckily I do know how to enjoy and appreciate this film. It’s made like an old English literature or classic fiction story styled kind of movie. So you need to look at it in this context/perspective. Then you will understand why the movie was made like that, and know how to enjoy it😊
