Learn about Roger Deakins. He is the Cinematographer on the first movie. also on prisoners and blade runner 2049. Same guy did 1917. I highly recommend The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford if you want to see his best shots in my opinion.

I can tell this show is with my dads old agency I know because my dad was an Agent for that Agency and that’s D.E.A and my dad was an Agent for the D.E.A (Drug Enforcement Administration) for 28 years and he’s arrested bad guys before and he has worked in Los Angeles San Francisco Hawaii and Miami Florida and he’s lost Agents before from shootings in Los Angeles and the agents that worked for him in Los Angeles they all got shot in the head and center mass and I know because I’m a son of a former DEA agent and he’s even arrested a Mexican person that got in his face and he’s arrested Yakuza Hawaiian gangs and some Mexican bad guys like the cartels I think and my uncle was also D. E.A (Drug Enforcement Administration) retired in 1996 and my dad has been in lots of shootings before and my dad has the gun that they used before in this show the P229 and the M4 with Eotech Sight and I would do the same thing put bad guys away and I would love to arrest the bad guys even if it’s cartels and when my dads old agency arrested Barry Seal my dad was at Quantico Virginia at the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) academy and I got the DEA badge my father gave me when I graduated 5th grade and I got the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) vest and a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) shirt that my dad gave me and he’s slammed bad guys on cars and on walls for Resisting arrest and my dad saved kids from Meth houses and has put them in foster homes and my dad has said to a mother and father if you don’t cooperate I’m going to send your kid to a foster home 🏠 and so my dad has dealt with bad guys before and he’s even worked in Madrid Spain 🇪🇸 and he even arrested Bad guys in Columbia too Bet you didn’t know that either I know because I’m a son of a real former DEA agent

The original script ended differently then the movie: * After Miguel jumps off the truck, he runs back to where he shot Alejandro and helps him by cutting his restraints. Alejandro watches Miguel run away. Matt saves Isabel - thanks to a beacon she has in her shoes - and kills everyone else, as we see in the movie. * Alejandro goes to take the car, as we see in the movie. He drives off to kill Isabel's farther, Carlos, restarting the beacon Isabel left in the car, to alert Matt of where he's going. Matt sets up a fake news report saying Isabel was killed, to lure more of the cartel to Carlos' place. This also allows Isabel to get a new life, and she asks Matt to start school at the University of Michigan. * At the cartel house, Alejandro and Carlos has a cool standoff and Carlos reveals that he knows his daughter is safe. Then a huge shootout starts, as Alejandro goes from one room to the next, killing all the cartel in the house. * Waiting to board her plane to Michigan, Isabel sees on the news that her family was killed, but she isn't sad about it. * Much later, Miguel has become a part of the cartel who helps get people across the boarder. On his way home, stopping at a coffeeshop, Alejandro is sitting at a table, waiting for Miguel. As in the movie, Alejandro says "So, you want to be a Sicario", except Miguel answers "No" and shakes his head, to which Alejandro replies "Yes, I am the proof" showing his face to him. Alejandro says "It's time we discuss your future" as the camera slowly zooms out, and the film ends. I wish they would have sticked to the original script. It showed that despite everything, Alejandro finished his mission. And the reason why Alejandro wanted to hire Miguel in the end, is because Miguel freed him, showing himself to have a good heart.

This has me wondering if that will be the story if they do a third.

@@MegaForrestgump The third Sicario (named Capos) is currently in development. I was wondering if they're going to use this script as an inspiration for the third one, but I hope they start over with a new story. There's also a rumor that Emily Blunt will return.

[@troma760]

Both movies plots are "we're going into Mexico to start a war between cartels." In the first movie we're take along that experience with them as they execute their plans flawlessly. This is essentially another iteration except their plans are foiled and they're forced to adapt. This isn't a direction issue, it's just not the best screenplay by Taylor Sheridan.

[@thesenate9455]

People can survive gunshot wounds anywhere. The bullet, the trajectory etc all matters. Headshots are not always deadly

[@feignorance]

50 Cent is a perfect example

[@TimWing23]

There's a video on KZbin where cops are talking to a suspect in a room and he's just been in an altercation and he's saying he was shot but they don't believe him. He looks like he has a bad black eye but it takes a while for the cop to realize the guy was shot in the head and they needed to get him to a hospital ASAP.

[@arty560]

Especially considering where you’re shot in the face. They call it the “dumbbell of death” but it’s shaped like a capital I, starts at your sternum, follows up in a thin line along your spine and arteries in your neck, and only spreads out at your eyes. Shoot someone in the dumbbell and its guaranteed death, anywhere else, even if it’s in the head or neck, as long as it’s not in the dumbbell of death, it’ll only be a minor injury surprisingly enough. I’ve seen friends survive shots to the mouth and cheekbones and survive.

[@user-lb9xw4xf2q]

My mum was an ER nurse, and she'd had more than one patient who'd attempted suicide via self-inflicted gunshot, but they didn't die... most did eventually, but it wasn't the instant exit they had hoped, not by a far margin.

[@conorwellman8592]

Yeah I saw a video about the making of this move and one thing they talked about is the amount of research they did to be sure the gunshot in the cheek was realistically survivable.

[@hipNrip]

Desperately wanting a Part 3. The first two were amazing.

[@Paul-br]

Yes! We need this trilogy

[@kristons6010]

Brolin said he really wants to do a third one but the industry is moving away from these mid budget movies. Nowadays it's either indie movies or big superhero blockbusters.

[@kirblar]

The last third of the movie got rewritten by the director, its why it gets weird at the end.

[@Arkangel84g]

[@cryptidon]

Wind River is criminally underrated. Bonus, it features Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch and Punisher.

[@scotticus]

[@TheRagratus]

The reason the Cartels are so powerful is that they own the Government.

[@falconeyes9668]

FACTS! Enrique Peña Nieto got paid MILLIONS by every cartel in Mexico to STFU and look the other way.

[@nandoman4769]

It’s worse then that even. They ARE the government and have been for the majority of its existence. Whenever we hear about the Mexican government “cracking down” on cartel activities it’s really just the cartels trimming the fat to keep the US content with believing that something is being done.

[@Zechree]

I don’t get the hate for this movie. First one was phenomenal and I thought this one was as well. Super excited for the third movie I get some of the critiques and people wishing it was the same director. Just didn’t take away from my enjoyment, I was legit out of breath by the end of the movie

[@MrIndiemusic101]

The screenplay was my main issue with it. There was a sense of grounded realism in the first movie that kept me immersed. This one and the scenario it played out felt like a bad Tom clancy novel written by an armchair general. From what I read about this movie was that Sicario and Day of Soldado were originally 2 separate scripts for 2 separate movies. The studio picked Sicario and with a lot of tweaking from the director and Benicio Del Toro made that into a masterpiece of filmmaking. Day of soldado was made because the studio just wanted to cheaply capitalize on Sicarios success. To make an analogy Sicario is akin to First Blood while Day of Soldado is akin Rambo: First Blood part 2. Where the second movie completely missed the point and subtlety of the first movie in exchange for dumb down spectacle and action sequences.

[@Mbk-Art]

Hating on a sequel and gassing the original has been a trend forever. Sometimes it’s valid, often it’s just people being sheep.

[@jaredwatt8769]

Its a good movie but the trailer sold me on a different and a more awesome movie

[@eskamick]

This time it's valid. This is a good action flick. I have 0 problems with it but the original? This wasn't even filmed as well. They could've at least brought over the location scout. Just that alone made this film weaker.

[@JoshuaDay0550]

yeah... the intro to this one, imo atleast, matched if not topped the first movie. I had that exact dumbfounded "holy shit, they went there" reaction lol

[@waterbeauty85]

Josh Brolin was rightfully impressed with Isabella Merced's acting in this movie, but she actually impressed me first in the ridiculous "Dora and the Lost City of Gold." She was able to deliver the silly dialogue (and even sing a song about digging a hole to poop in) with complete sincerity and commitment that I thought "This girl is brilliant."

[@yvetterodriguez2550]

The girl who played Isabel was portrayed by the actress Isabel Merced. She's also in Madam Web, Sweet Girl and Transformers: The Last Knight. I thought I recognized her. Her face looked really familiar. And I agree with you as well. She's a phenomenal actor. I feel like she's one to look out for. I wouldn't be surprised if she continues doing action films for years to come. She's already acted with Benicio Del Toro, Josh Brolin, Mark Wahlberg, Jason Mamoa and Dakota Johnson. She's about to turn 23 this July. Just WOW.

[@davidgardiner1166]

I think it is a stand alone movie,rather than a sequel, not as good as Sicario but not a bad movie, there was rumours of a 3rd one with Emily Blunt returning….

Dude, stop trying to judge this movie based on the last one. It’s a different story, which is why Emily Blunt isn’t in it. The last movie Blunt was the fulcrum, in this one the girl is. Brolin and Benicio are parts of their story.

[@theroachden6195]

The coincidence was pretty solid. He and Del Toro stared at each other for several seconds and Del Toro's face is pretty disrinct. The first Sicario is about a successful mission. This one is abour a failure. And it shows how something so small can fuck up an entire operation.

[@Kickinthescience]

[@JamesShelnutt2]

I'm a big fan of these Sicario films. I wish they'd do a lot more of them.

Fun trivia: Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro also appeared together in Avengers: Infinity War in the same year as this movie.

[@VADallasCowboysFan]

14:09 that shot with the gun being used made the whole trailer

[@MarcTubeOne]

Think of the segmented story as levels of influence or degrees of involvement. It's a snap shot of how vulnerable people get absorbed into criminal activities. The young boy exhibited signs of regretting his choices (jumping off the back of the truck), after shooting Alejandro. But within a year he's fully committed to the cartel. I feel Alejandro is recruiting his replacement at the end. I'm also hoping for a third installment. Great movies.

[@nickblood7080]

First movie had better writing. One of the best directors working today. Best cinematographer of all time. Amazing score by the woman who also did Joker's score.

[@TheRagratus]

Same writer- Taylor Sheridan. BUT..... the director (different director) re-wrote the last 1/3rd of the movie.

[@MaxArch]

1st one Jóhann Jóhannsson did the score lol

[@C11H15NO2-m]

44:24 nah brolin took the girl as a last favor to Alejandro bc he had earlier ask to help him get her across the border and brolin and his team watched him get ‘executed’ even tho we know he’s not dead he decided to fuck them all (fuck the people in charge for shutting them down and putting them in this situation)

[@SLYGARR]

I loved this one. Its a different story. It was not a coincidence. They are two stories that converge. They showed you the American politics to show you how messed up this is. These movies are more episodic and completly different. Stories. I cant wait for the 4th one.

I love that movie! Haven’t watched it in quite awhile…might have to do that later.

[@lizetteolsen3218]

I think the girl's situation was living in a mansion without either her father the cartel leader--or her mother who lives in the States. There are all kinds of staff attending to her--but she has no sense of family. This could have been better as a sequel. I still hope that with the closing there still may be another movie.

[@liljackypaper]

She clearly has sense of the family. She knows who her Father is. She knows who Alejandro is. She said "You're the guy who's family they killed." So she clearly isn't ignorant of the whole situation. Hell, she basically dared the principle to expell her knowing he couldn't expell her because of her Father

[@lizetteolsen3218]

@@liljackypaper Yes the daring the headmaster to expell her is the only sense of power she has. Neither of her parents live with her. That takes a toll on a child --being raised by staff. She understands her father and his business but not from an insider perspective. More an outside observer. I wondered if the mother moved to the States to avoid something more nefarious. Sounded pretty grim for a single child all alone in a mansion.

[@TheRealDarrylStrawberry]

In the first one people think Alajandro is water boarding the captured guy but it clearly shows the dry drain in the floor and the untouched jug of water. Alejandro was forcing his you know what in his mouth. SICK SCENE.

[@danieladusei1993]

I always fought that what he did

[@johnbrown8570]

Wasn’t the drain they zoomed in on just the drain in Emily blunts room and she’s just hearing what’s going on in the other room through the drain?

[@TheRealDarrylStrawberry]

@@johnbrown8570 Blunt gets told off by Brolin. shes no where near that scene. The dry drain and full jug of water isnt an accidental insert shot...coupled with a man gurgling. Benicio is violating that man under Cartel prison rules for snitches.

[@TheRealDarrylStrawberry]

@@johnbrown8570 nah. Brolin tells her to f-off. Shes no where near that scene.

[@justinbarnett9476]

Most people think that because it’s what happens. Not a forced rape. We understand that there is going to be torture and that Alejandro plans to waterboard. That’s doesn’t mean a beating giant also take place. Alejandro get so close to invade the guys space. He’s making the captured guy uncomfortable just by being in his space. He does the same thing to Jon Bernthal’s character.

[@waterbeauty85]

The movie worked for me because of Josh Brolin, Benicio del Toro and Isabela Merced's acting. The script doesn't convincingly support or earn the changes the characters make, but the performances make me want to believe it enough that my own head canon fills in the character development gaps.

[@kurtsmith9564]

The daughter knew what her dad did, that's why she told the head master to go ahead and kick her out, because she knew he knew who her dad was. That's why she said she didn't think so

[@memento_mori6454]

My favorite movies hands down. For me a perfect portrayal of our world as it isn't usually covered. Done in a clear and beautiful way.

[@jpa5038]

So the reason why this movie isn't as well received as the first one is because the first one had a deeper message. Yes they both have really good action scenes but the sequel is surface level and people really didn't like the abrupt ending. I think Sicario is better as a stand alone movie than as a part of a trilogy. Now the 3rd movie, if we ever get it, could tie everything up nice and neat and bring closure, but it has its work cut out for it.

[@nigeltrotter2886]

46:35- Right?? That's what I'm thinking. How did this guy go from "Excess Baggage" to "Sicaro 1&2" that is quite the change. Benecio did this!!!!

[@MrJoeagomez]

One thing that I have learned from real good writers and I’m talking real good writing of a movie is that if you’re watching a film and you’re feeling confused or anxious or disoriented about the storyline you can bet the house that they are making a follow up. Part 3 in this case And guess what ? They’re rumors that it’s going on now, I can’t wait for its release.

[@ActualFactualMagic]

I liked this movie because it shows the absolute mess the war on drugs (and human trafficking) often is. A movie about that whole chaotic world needs to also feel chaotic. You are not wrong in your analysis. But the performance from the young gril is remarkable. She is unlikeable in the beginning as the entitled daughter of a drug lord, but you build empathy for her as you see the world she is a part of. I think it's very intentional that the story with the girl ends because if she is put in protective custody, she would just disappear. And the ending (to me) is that they were recruiting the son of the drug lord to be an informant or insider.

[@cd5sircoupe]

Regarding the Narco kids... in the first movie Alejandro kills the two boys not just for vengeance, but because they would likely inherit the family business and were already entrenched into that lifestyle to some degree since they lived close with their Kingpin father. They would have been loose ends out for revenge in a couple of years no doubt about it. Isabelle was different though, she lived in her own mansion with servants. She knew what her family did, but didn't seem to be directly involved and just a beneficiary of it, basically kept out of most of the loops. Kind of like an inside outsider. In any event, Alejandro saw something of his own daughter in her during his time securing her border passage at the deaf couple's house or even before that, but after that scene he was committed to keeping her safe. It's a well done flip-flop of the narrative between the two movies. Additionally, the first movie's mission is deemed successful while this one's fucked sideways halfway through. They're both a nice dichotomy or whatever you'd want to call it. The story felt like a mess compared to the first film because the mission was fucked. The first movie was portraying a successful mission where everything makes sense when you know all of the information. And Benicio/Denis didn't doctor the script this time. The whole thing with the bombing feeling unconnected is intended. We were so sure we had all the pieces to the puzzle and were making the right call, but it turns out the entire illegal OP was founded on faulty intel and they had to completely sever all ties to it. 36:30 Convenient is a good way to put it. There's no realistic way Miguel recognized Alejandro in that scene, that should have been shot differently for it to actually work. Alejandro was being backlit by headlights directly behind him while wearing a cowboy hat, no chance the kid saw any facial features at night and from a distance. That isn't how light & shadow work.

This movie was so good, different than the first with the approach, and what a dark and cold beginning ! The border, the attack and one of the best yet short special forces scenes

[@herecomesaregular8418]

There is a lot that's wacky about Alejandro's survival in this film. Just one off the top of my head: with the amount of blood loss he has been experiencing for what is portrayed to be hours, if not the entire night and into the next day, is going to massively dehydrate him. Add that to laying out all day in the desert sun, plus clambering up the side of the crater, plus the trek to the vehicles...I'm not gonna say it would be impossible, but highly unlikely that someone survives that. Just to add another wrinkle, you can add to his dehydration the fact that they wrap his head in duct tape tighter than a mummy, so even if he is breathing, he is able to get very little oxygen, and adding the desert heat, if he doesn't die of dehydration/blood-loss, he is dying of suffocation while comatose. All that said, though, Benicio does such a great job in that whole sequence, that he really makes you feel how dreadful he is likely feeling. Especially as he drives down the road, you can really sense the pain/weakness/nausea he is probably feeling.

[@olathestanwalker6717]

[@MarvelousMusicmmusic]

Maybe it's just me but I don't think the thing with the kid was that coincidental or overly convenient. He clearly saw Alejandro at the parking lot and they stared at each other for a good while & if you're a teenager you're definitely going to remember almost getting hit by a car while a dude stares at you somewhat menacingly. Then a little later while you're in Mexico you see a dude who looks eerily similar to that guy and you're trying to prove yourself to the cartel. You'd be suspicious and say something as well. The kid was pretty observant and that's probably partially why Alejandro sees something in him and ambushes him in the end of the film

[@cd5sircoupe]

There's a big problem with how they set up that plot twist though. There's no way in hell this kid is going to recognize our guy Alejandro's face from I dunno, let's say 50-100ft away at night while he's being backlit by headlights directly behind him while wearing a cowboy hat. That just isn't how light & shadow work, especially to the naked eye at a distance in the dark. Personally I'm on the fence on whether or not I think Alejandro was at the fast food place to recruit Miguel or to kill him. You could make an argument for either outcome to be honest.

[@scottyd0530]

Was Day of the Soldado as good as the first Sicario? No. The first movie was unlike anything I'd ever seen before. The writing was phenomenal, the characters were excellent, and the plot was second to none. Not to mention the music was outstanding, and it really made the movie THAT much better. Day of the Soldado was still a very solid movie, with the same great characters in Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro, and the addition of Isabela Merced. I just feel that it would've been better as a standalone movie, instead of being connected with the first Sicario.

[@kevenpinder7025]

[@GrayOhana808]

I look at this movie as more of a slice of life look into CIA, homeland security, and cartel operations. Political narratives and false intel totally screwed over the frontline operatives and they were supposed to just take it on the chin and move on to the next operation. Alejandro talking to the kid about being a sicario is him giving the kid the option to live vs executing him where he stands. He sees the kid as more a product of his environment and is taking an opportunity to shape him into something more than a coyote or thug.

[@kiana685]

Didn’t even have the desire to watch this movie until I saw the comments on your reaction to the first one. Just got done watching this so I could now watch your reaction to it. Personally, I thought it was pretty good. Maybe didn’t have the same amount of high-stakes decisions and gore as the first one but I didn’t mind. For its storyline I thought it was good. I only wish we could have gotten Isabel seeing/finding out that Alejandro did actually survive. Felt like she started to feel safe with him and realized he most likely wouldn’t hurt her.

The Boondock Saints. They prefer a completely dark sky when they jump. The also do HALO(High Altitude Low Opening) jumps. They call them "coyotes" they're paid by the cartel to lead people across/to the border.

[@DShipp85]

I like Alejandro's theme song. The one you hear at the end scene

[@luciaarnaotorrego6852]

Loved your reaction as always. You should watch society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one. If you do watch it I recommend the original language with subtitles, the acting was amazing

[@chernobyl68]

Gotta check out the other taylor Sheridan films and shows, they're amazing! Wind river, hell or high water, yellowstone, 1883, 1923, mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa king

[@Dene181]

The movie felt a bit odd, but the action and anticipation was great! Love the reaction, you two are just pure entertaining. 😊

[@swayjaayy7631]

i really liked this movie. You guys are thee best reaction channel out there and the last original one too. So many fake reactions out there where people are saying that they are seeing a movie for the first time and is total BS. I am probably one of ya'lls biggest fans

[@waynepersall1115]

Star Wars!! Empire Strikes Back?.. Eh? RETURN OF THE JEDI!! they needed the third film, desperately

[@GhostPepper233]

Both movies were great. If you want to see a movie that shows what human trafficking is then watch Sound Of Freedom.

[@mamalew3601]

Love watching you two you make my day. I’d love to see you guys. Reactions to the new movie the beekeeper or the Boondock Saints

[@drquantum6548]

The soundtrack is sick. I have it on when i play ghost recon 😆👌

[@r.e.tucker3223]

This one is okay, the first was better in my opinion.

[@thisishowthetruthdies684]

People get shot in the head and live. I know of one case where someone tried to commit suicide by putting a shotgun in their mouth and it only resulted in them having to spend the rest of their life living with half a face.

[@harlanjohnston4050]

Pretty cool move with a finger huh makes it act like a machine gun love it

[@obersmith]

53:52 on that note, the movie "Shoot 'em up" is another fun one to check out :)

[@hk45c62]

Nikki and Steven, check out The Hunted, with Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro.

Think of it as different book of Al and Matt, rather then the next chapter. Ist was Sicario: hit man which was Al 2rd is day of the soldier which was Matt questioning his role and the 3rd will be Sicaro: Capos - which is bosses. So, I guess we will final get to met Carlos Reyes 😊 - just me guessing

[@candyland4517]

HEAT REACTION!!!

[@GerryDavid-f1f]

This was nowhere near as good as the first film. My big question was why the hell would Alejandro want to train the kid to be a Sicario, instead of returning the compliment and putting a bullet in his head, especially after the big speech in the first movie of telling Kate to never point a gun at him again? As a bare minimum, be consistent with what the character would do.

[@GutturalReef]

'Harsh Times' starring Christian Bale as an ese from East Los Angeles!

[@doyledeclue282]

Waiting on number three

[@chriswhitza]

I highly recommend you watch - The Red Sea Diving Resort (2019) & The Kingdom (2007). Great reaction.

[@BigBear--]

The writing is much worse in this sequel than the original. A huge problem is that the people that send them in to start a war would 1000% be aware that there is little difference between the cartel and the mexican government, practically speaking. So this idea that if a few mexican cops get killed that all of a sudden they'd overreact and shut them down is ridiculous. Especially as there's zero proof that it was the US involved in that operation. It's another example of the writers needed something to happen, so it just does without any rhyme or reason.

[@susiebrown5836]

I usually bail when I hear reviewers talk about what does and doesn’t seem real in a story..Heck..if I wanted 100% real I could just hang out downtown, in my city…I guess you guys want some true kills?..Most stories we see in movies are based on degrees of truth….Men putting these type of crime scenarios in play in 2 hrs , can’t be actual….but that’s me..I just want to be engaged for that 2 hrs….

[@danblack5402]

The cop from the first season of Sons Of Anarchy wrote these movies. This is NOT a sequel.

[@Mrowa066]

33:41 I mean better that than a baby infant in the front seat, sitting backwards

[@d3vp131]

This is a “drop off the cliff” sequel. Rushed script, and different director. (First director, DV, had other obligations)
