Dennis Villenueve's use of overhead shots throughout the movie is a masterclass in creating tension and awe through perspective. He is constantly highlighting how massive the border is and how complicated and futile any effort to regulate it will ultimately end up being.

[@Goodjobgreateffort]

Followed by 5:22 the shot with the flags in the background “divided” by part of the fence. Some might find the metaphor a little too on the nose, but with DV and RD, it was just used as a restrained detail. No clunky exposition saying “this represents our divided attitudes toward finding meaningful solutions!”

At the end, Brolin's answer to Kate's "why am I here" is both literal and figurative - it can equally used to explain Kate's role in the movie storytelling. Presenting everything through Kate's eyes instead of Alenjandro's "creates chaos" and anxiety, and Kate's whole reason for being is so that we can "watch and learn."

[@J78Kio]

I think i read somewhere that Kate's presence as a certain us law enforcement makes some parts of the operation legal, or easier for higher ups to turn a blind eye. Kate is kept in the dark about this and fed a lie that she's being vetted for promotion, when really they just ditch her when the deed is done.

Three things really sell this scene - 1) restraint. They mirror engagement patterns. Anything less would have gotten them killed because they would exposed themselves first. 2) Trigger discipline.

denis villeneuve is a legend my friend, one of the best directors you will ever see...

[@dilly2408]

By far THE BEST SCENE from the entire movie. Radio Erevan says those Spec-Ops guys are for real and been hired especially for this scene. A real masterpiece ! I can't wait for Sicario 3 ❤❤❤

[@vicerichter1163]

Brolin just sitting there chewing gum like he's waiting for fast food.. Guy didnt even flinch when all of that went down. Lol.

[@terribletomvu37]

That did it, gotta go on Prime and watch this movie again. For the 48th time.

[@eh9deux]

One of the best scenes of this movie

[@TheVerhoenic]

You may not know about this but this movie probably one of the best OST ever.

[@MrMochi-nl1zb]

Don’t think people give Kate enough props for that dodge and headshot on her ambusher. Def earned her position on the team.

[@dbv904]

Nope... She didn't get out with the rest of the team as she was ordered. She was a liability the entire movie.

[@BamaMatters11]

Headshot?? What movie were you watching smdh.

[@allanlomas5133]

there was no headshot, her team mate double tapped the guy

[@donutlivesmatter]

@@dbv904 My thoughts exactly, couldn't take that character

[@memecliparchives2254]

​@@dbv904If she got off, the cartel police would have gotten their target. And she's practically the entire reason why this operation was even legal in the first place. And the team made sure she's in a position that she has no choice but to do things that go their way as planned. They don't want her to be "competent", they want her to be controlled.

4:30 Brolin giving “are we there yet?” vibes in the back seat

[@ten_sleso]

after rewatching I noticed at establishing shot at 0:32 you can see shooter cop waving at CIA convoy then Kate turning back to him. Nice detail

[@michael-bell]

What? I've rewatched that part over and over again and I don't see what you're talking about

[@ten_sleso]

@@michael-bell 0:32 freeze frame and look who is in bottom left corner, its same man who will shoot after Kate later

[@lisalisa8890]

Man i 've watched this movie several times and i keep getting something new. Thank's bro. Nice thouroughness

[@GrosseBrueste]

So many amazing small details here. Just noticed the sigh of relief of the guy with the glasses at 0:44 just after crossing the border.

[@bt5725-i9l]

I don't think this kind of action thriller will ever be seen. It's a masterpiece.

Brolin and Del Toro's performances left Blunt completely overshadowed

[@BoinkrNanis]

After the entire movie, her acting in her final scenes with del Toro blew me away. Reminded me of someone once saying "you will do nothing, because you can do nothing"

[@jac6548]

brolin? he did nothing special here (relatively speaking). blunt was great as the naive newbie who isn't actuallyclueless but, in a greater sense, is totally clueless. she played it perfectly del toro was a master class though, a league above the other two

[@marioskittles50]

@@BoinkrNanis that phrase was from john wick haha

[@sweeptheleg.]

You guys know its not a competition, right?

[@ignatiushorstmann2526]

I remember I went into the theater with zero expectations and not really any idea about any of the hype surrounding this movie. Boy what a treat that experience was.

[@gregrizal5043]

Everyone stays frosty. Best advice ever!

[@copperpipe8054]

I always come back to this clip for what I imagine to be an example of how those CIA contractor gun fights went that the world will never hear about. Incredibly professional, in control the whole time, ruthless, and making it out without so much as a mark. The world just forgets it ever happened. Like a cleaver, powerful but with a clean cut.

[@seizethedayandlive]

without doubt, one of my favorite movies of all time.

[@andrzejmichalczak9185]

One of the greatest films every saw 😂 Greetings from Poland

[@vuho2075]

I'm just glad the dog is ok

[@NAVI05]

This movie should be an advanced level courses for cinematographers & directors.

[@rightuppercut1426]

Such a great movie. And Benicio is amazing in it.
