Dude!! Right?!?! I tell people to watch this all the time. This movie is fucking badass. The only thing, I wish at the end he actually killed her. More realistic
@@LastKansasExit realistically wasn’t any need to kill her, Alejandro was just scaring her because if she continues on she will be eventually killed by someone else. He didn’t need to kill her because he’s untouchable and not on any documents, Brolin’s character is untouchable and not on any documents for the contract work, and she wasn’t given diplomatic clearance to go into Mexico like they did in the tunnels. So if she goes public, she’s either labeled a liar and fired, or the courts believe her and she’s the only one punished because there’s no evidence against anyone else even knowing or being with her. Ending was perfect, she’s a small fish in a very large and dangerous pond full of big fishes and she was starting to swim out of the shallows into deeper water. Her innocence and determination probably reminded him of his daughter and wife, so he gave her some needed advice and went back to his work
It’s amazing to start the movie like this, because the point of Josh Brolin’s character is “we can’t stop them” the best we can do is control them through one cartel and keep the evil south of the border. Even though we sympathize with Emily Blunt’s characters perspective, the first scene makes you think “Josh is right”
Reminds me of when Félix was arrested in Narcos: Mexico and he tells the cops how this will do nothing but lead to chaos and they will miss him when he’s gone. He was right.
You ever watch that doc where there was a militia formed and they were brutal an smashed this smaller cartel an before the documentary guy following them could say oh you won they just stared banging all the hot women an selling cocaine , oh it was funded by the USA , don't get me wrong that's exactly where they should put more money but imagine watching how fast these guys an these guys were like 50 running it just so they could sell cocaine , wtf is that😂😂
My God. Just when you think things can't get any worse... One of the most grim, terrifying opening sequences of any movie in modern memory. And the foreshadowed cynicism of Josh Brolin's rejection of Daniel Kaluuya's character's inclusion on the operation because he has a law degree: "No lawyers on this train. Just give me the girl." A bleak and bitter modern masterpiece.
Nice attention to detail. The agents who take the small hill behind the house to supply cover have red dot sights including one ACOG. The entry team all have holosights. It is the little details in films that show how professional the producers are.
Only thing I found a little odd is the bird shot in the shotgun. It'll hurt at close range but not likely to be lethal. Both movies have good attention to the little details.
@@encinobalboa I think that plays into her character. She is not the best agent. I think that is why they choose her. She is unsure of herself throughout the whole film. A really sharp agent would have realized the Spec Ops team only needed her to legitimize the sketchy things they were doing by signing off on them. She is told as much to her face towards the end of the film. I think her failures in the drug house establish who she is from the jump.
@@Huyle18if you like cinematography you should check out The Batman, The Revenant, obviously can’t go wrong with Inception and Interstellar. The ones above that are listed are great as well. This one is a switch up but Life of Pi is really beautifully shot as well. One of my favourite shots of all time is the binary sunset. The sunset scene in this movie is sick too.
2:22 after shooting a guy who just missed you with a shotgun, she would NOT gingerly walk up to him and check his pulse. She would keep her weapon trained on him and treat him as active threat until his shotgun was cleared from his body. Also, after a gunfight like this, gently checking for a pulse is pure Hollywood. Your hands are shaking so much that you wouldn’t be able to feel anything with your fingertips anyway.
I love both of these movies, but the only thing I didn't like about this scene is that they were making a daytime raid in all black, instead of desert camo
This scene has an amazing visual impact, but I can't help but feel what's the plan there? Pack a couple dozen bodies inside the walls of a random home in Arizona where the heat will peel the paint off a car? They were just gonna hang out there with decomposing bodies turning everything around them into mush? It makes no sense lol
I'm pretty sure the house was just a temporary, drug trafficking way station. They weren't gonna take out a mortgage and send the kids off to school. They were gonna abandon the house at the earliest opportunity, leaving no identifying evidence behind.
Maybe the original plan was because of extreme heat and hidden in plain sight, nobody would question the smell or run around searching every civilian house for drug cartel members in what seems like an ordinary neighborhood. Another excuse is hiding them and further recovering to show them in a video, cartel enemies or while they find a proper burial site. It also works for the movie so it shows how cartel activity is hidden in plain sight and it could be in anyone’s house.
Meh, they might have been halfway through a job--they were just going to abandon the house in a couple more days, maybe after a few more bodies were hidden. With zero activity at the house, it would take a long time for regular PD to kick down a door, and by then the bodies are too far gone to ID and anyone the home could be traced to has a new identity. But the FBI was a lot hotter on these guys and has better information than they thought, and it went wrong.
that scene where the raiding team were puking outside shortly after discovering the bodies inside the walls, think it's a bit over - just too many agents puking - that's just soft even for the supposed law enforcement
The entire movie is based around her usefulness and worth to the CIA so that they can operate domestically to fight the cartel. Without her character, none of what they do to confront and fight the cartels is possible. "the real enemy" What are you fucking high? Her entire character is dedicated to doing things they way she has been told in order to help stop the bad guys, and then she is told, by people on her own team, that she has to break the rules to get things done. She is not only central to the plot, but she's also the most virtuous and well-meaning person in the film. What a fucking SHIT take.
Per US laws, asylum claims can only be made by migrants at the official ports of entry. Otherwise, the crossers are detained and returned to Mexico. The entry point controlled the number asylum seeker flow into the US. Biden had the US join the UN Protocal for Refugees. The Protocal allowed migrants to cross anywhere along the border to claim asylum. The NGO organized huge crossings on a daily basis. It caused the Border Patrol detention facilities to become overcrowded. The Border Patrol was forced by a federal judge to release the migrants into the US. The Dem activists in DHS with the NGO gamed the UN protocol and our justice system to flood our country with asylum seekers. Now, the Dem radicals are organizing the migrants to resist deportation with violence. Dem governors and mayors plan to have the local police stand down if rioting breaks out. The liberal media will provide air cover. The Dems imported a 10.5 million army and plan to use them to resist and riot. They also allowed more cartel into US. Sicaro is a preview to what will happen to the US except they did not include the migrant riots when immigration laws will be enforced. Thank you Dems
It’s UNREAL the movie opens this hard and doesn’t dip until the closing credits.

Yeah, this whole scene let you know this movie was going to be how it REALLY is.
Literally jumped in my seat when the shed blew up first time i saw this.

@Angel9932 I gave them the benefit of the doubt on that one. Let's pretend it was number four medium game shot! Nice catch.
Emily did not disarm the bad guy. Even if he is clearly gone, they cuff him which they did not.

It's not the producers who determine this, but the director.
The cinematography in this movie is top notch! Reminds me of no country for old men.
Same director as Blade Runner 2049 / Dune 1 & 2, all excellent cinematography and BR2049 won an academy award for it.
@skyvipers dune is an absolute amazing movie experience.

Roger Deakins, one of the all time great cinematographers, who also did No Country for Old Men
@@5eany. well that explains it for me lol. Guess i really should start looking at names other than movie stars.

I was with you up until that last part. Your hands shake they don’t go numb.

Being from phoenix Arizona the heat is killing my mind
Their CAMOS were at the dry cleaners
Very powerful film
Checking a pulse with gloves on, lol 2:20
one more video before I go to bed aaaah video, fml
You’d think the quality of the drywall work would be better.
It's a movie. I will never understand people trying to make sense of fiction.
Cartel didn’t care about hiding the bodies. They wanted it found to send a message. That’s why they boobytrapped the shack.
@@ÑEZ0688 it was an immigrant labor joke, bud.
When the shed blew, drug sniffing dog said, SCREW THIS! I'm otta here.
That shotgun with an 18" barrel would have a spread twice the diameter.
I believe the depiction here was accurate for the range in which that birdshot was discharged
Yeah they’re just saying stuff. That spread fine for the range and honestly maybe even a little too big.
Wow…what a leader she is.
5:53 oh shit IED!!!
Drywalls are not fking refrigerator, storing these many bodies would make the house smell like dumpster miles away
To make an omelet eggs must be broken. Freedom is never free, but worth protecting and preserving.
This scene has an amazing visual impact, but I can't help but feel what's the plan there? Pack a couple dozen bodies inside the walls of a random home in Arizona where the heat will peel the paint off a car?

Marlo would be proud - just like the vacants

But the FBI was a lot hotter on these guys and has better information than they thought, and it went wrong.
The moral of this scene is, “don’t forget to pay your gas bill”.
why put the bodies on the wall?
😅😢😂. With all that free desert around a house who would store bodies in their walls. The stench would be unbearable.
that scene where the raiding team were puking outside shortly after discovering the bodies inside the walls, think it's a bit over - just too many agents puking - that's just soft even for the supposed law enforcement
Imo, it was so the movie could point out the horror of cartel activities is always beyond imagination even to skilled agents
The bomb in shed doesn't make sense 😂
tacobell trash
I can't believe how absolutely worthless Kate was in this movie. As far as I'm concerned, she was the real enemy instead of the cartel.
The entire movie is based around her usefulness and worth to the CIA so that they can operate domestically to fight the cartel. Without her character, none of what they do to confront and fight the cartels is possible.
"the real enemy"

This movie shows why women should not be in law enforcement, or in the military for that matter.
You’re an idiot
