All the money and power in the world isn't worth anything if you can't protect the ppl you care about the most.

[@Space_Ghost_Hunter]

I'm pretty sure he though Al was just there to arrest him, being "the grieving Lawyer" he probably assumed he was there still serving the kaw in some capacity. So he takes the opportunity to try and act cocky and humiliate Al as he believes him to be bound by some sort of authority. But it's after Al tells Falcon his reasons for being there ARE personal, that Falcon says, "not in front of my boys" as if to say he only then realized his life was in Jeopardy. Then of course Al does the unthinkable and Falcon is faced with a reality his narcissism convinced him was only reserved for his enemies. It's the fact he's totally blindsided, that I think adds to the perfection of Al's vengeance. He let's Falcon bolster himself and act like a fool knowing full well what he was going to do. Amazing directing.

That deep breath Alejandro takes just after he kills the family was a nice touch by Benicio. As if the killing was cathartic to his well being. "Well, that's done. Time to savor this."

[@homedepotindustrialfan936]

I don’t think so, at least not entirely. He may have felt guilt and pain from going through that again. He knows the family is innocent like his was. I’d imagine (as if I really could) that it’s a mix of that guilt that he’s pushing past, and a deep need for justice understandably corrupted by selfish revenge that prioritizes wanting to share his misery with another who deserves it over the lives of more innocent people. Ideally the family would be informed in detail of all the evil deeds their father did, and then somehow have a fair trial to be properly convicted and swiftly sentenced to an execution with his family in attendance to see justice in action. Obviously wasn’t going to happen, but at least tell the kids and wife right there before taking the father away to be dealt with and leave them to grieve with the remainder of their lives.

[@regenosis]

I don't think he savored it enough to be honest. 1 shot and a final headshot not 10 seconds after is way too quick. Fausto's panic showed he's capable of real fear underneath the facade of overconfidence from so much power and money. That means he's capable of suffering as well.

[@NeoRazgriz]

@@homedepotindustrialfan936I think you both are partially correct; but he also did it to keep control of himself. To force himself NOT to continue and just immediately kill the boss too. His wrath was so strong it brought him all the way to that moment; so he wanted to savor it (relief), felt slight guilt of innocent kids dying again (like his daughter) and getting his emotions back under control (to give the cartel boss time to feel his pain) before the coups de gras.

Benicio del Toro is a powerful actor - just nuances and light twitches from his face are enough to send chills. He didn't flinch when he shot the family in cold blood. Julio Cesar Cedillo's acting once his family were shot point blank is just so full of angst and unimaginable pain. Amazing acting. This scene alone gives me chills and the feel of the pain of loss of deeply loved ones in a split second. It depicts the fragility of human life and how cause and consequence deeply affect our emotions to the point revenge in a tit-for-tat blurs lines of what's "right" when everything is so wrong. If someone chopped off my wife's head and threw my daughter into a tub of acid, there is no more right or wrong in retaliation; it just is. No justifications can right the killing of the innocent in retaliation and yet the world is full of greys because of consequences from cause. It's not enough that a murderer be sent to jail to live out his life behind bars for any gruesome crime he committed in atrocity. That's too easy. If we spend our life hurting and killing others, it will come back full circle, one way or the other. No one ever gets off scott-free.

[@Zombiewithabowtie]

Someone pointed out in another version of this video that, if you follow where his gun points, you can tell the order he killed them in, and why. The mother died first, so she wouldn't have to see what happened to her children. The younger boy died next, before he could realise what was happening, and the eldest was last.

[@seeharvester]

No, it was in that order because it was an economy of motion. Less movement between shots, and swinging from right to left. A natural direction for a right-handed shooter considering recoil management, etc. If he had wanted to inflict major emotional damage, he would have shot the children first, then hesitated, then shot the mother so she could also feel his pain. In a way, he spared her.

Yes everything else was just a means to this end.

[@dkrew]

It was a covert operation by a clandestine agency. They each provided what the other needed to get the real job done.

[@Xchax3]

“Now finish your meal.” Just as Alejandro had to every single day. Im concerned if I’m wired wrong but I found satisfaction in Fausto seeing his family die. Not in his family dying. Fausto looked at him with a face that said “you won’t do anything.” And as soon as Alejandro mentioned his daughter, Fausto’s wife was the only one who understood their family was going to be killed. It was only after Alejandro went through with it that Fausto felt that shock. It was as if all that power had gone to his head up until that moment when he realized he was touchable.

[@NtoTheM]

I also think the wife's reaction was because it's moments like this where she's confronted with what her "beloved" does every day. Ordering children and wives to be slaughtered and disposed in acid. The illusion of a man she can love disappears and she's forced to face what life she chose. Then yea, she probably adds 2 and 2 together and realises there ain't no getting out of this one.

This scene reminds me of the confrontation scene between Frank (James Caan) and Leo (Robert Prosky) at the end of 1981's 'Thief'. In both movies, the protagonist breaks into the antagonist's home. The protagonist then slowly and silently sweeps the house room by room with military-style movements and tactics while armed with a single semi-automatic handgun. The protagonist leaves one innocent bystander alive, but goes on to kill the antagonist's henchmen and eventually the antagonist himself.
