*WE LOVED THIS MOVIE!! Should we watch the sequel next??* ⬇⬇
Sure, if your froggy.
Yes, please watch the sequel!
Yes, it was a good sequel for a strait to DvD
The sequel is good a 7 , but first one is better a 9 but still worth a watch.
If u like this check out the other movies by the writer. Hell or high water and wind river
The fact that Benicio and Josh always spoke calmly and sometimes even quieter made them seem even more threatening.
Absolutely compare that to some of the villains we see in movies in this day and age
The scariest detail about Brolin's character is him wearing flip flops in that conference room. I have never seen that dude in real life, but god damn if you're familiar with those environments then you know someone dressed like that leading a meeting in a federal building is someone you don't want to fuck with.
I always loved that ending, Alejandro tells her she isn’t a wolf and when she points the gun at him… he knew she didn’t have it in her and walked away.
I have a feeling Alejandro wanted Kate to prove him wrong and shoot him. If it was just him knowing she wouldn't shoot, he would've kept walking. Instead, Alejandro straight up stopped and turned around to give her a clear shot. This tells me that he was ready to die in the hopes of maybe Kate was ready to be a wolf and that he can stop and rest since his primary goal was already met.
Also Alejandro's line right before the border scene: "You will doubt everything we do. But in the end, you will understand.". Evne though Kate did not agree with anything during the whole deal and being intimidated by him, she understood him and thus couldnt kill him. At least thats what I always took from that last scene.
He didn't give a f*** whether she shot him or not. He's already lost everything
Good book
@@onemuststand7353 lol bro you are smoking hella amount of copium. that's a shit ass beta comment man.
The border crossing scene and the build up of tension culminating in the shootout is just flawless filmmaking
It goes to show that life on the border can change on a daily basis.
It's mind boggling to me that that sequence is 11 minutes of not much really happening just building tension until you get to the action which from first to last shot fired is 6 seconds.
yeah that was intense. it makes you anxious
@@sidekick4 all these happen bro it is the hard reality and the worst
"It won't even make the papers in El Paso !"
I think the reason why they did not choose Reggie was because he was studying law and they needed someone who would cross that line of legal and illegal in the eyes of the court.
Yep he doesn't take him cause he's a lawyer he even says as much when he's recruiting her and when Reggie demands they let them in on wtf is going on. "Just her, no lawyers on this train.", "Fucking lawyers man..." Josh brollin says before sighing rolling his eyes and explaining
"No lawyers on this train." He didn't want anyone that would ask too many legal questions.
What laws were broken?
@@tduffy5 Isn't that a declaration of war once you start killing citizens of another country??? Reversed if some force from another country came and started to kill bad Americans, what would be our response?
@@tduffy5 A lot. CIA killed people to give the Colombian Cartel the upper hand in the drug trade and in exchange they agreed to moderate their distribution to the US, "providing a measure of order that we can control." Alejandro was basically acting as an agent of the US and he killed a host of Mexican Nationals on their own soil. Technically speaking, that's a state sponsored act of war.
Fun fact: the “DELTA guys” in the border scene & the mission brief are actual active duty Navy SEALs stationed at that base in Texas. The director while scouting locations at that base saw a few of the SEALs and long story short asked them if they’d be in a scene and to act and dress exactly how they would in the scenario. Makes those scenes so much cooler knowing their legit,..not Delta but SEALs.
Nice catch - you can tell by the drop holsters and I think even they had 226s maybe
Hence the term, TEAM, as in Jeffrey Donovan's line, " I got us a Team."
@@tduffy5 nice
You could not be MORE WRONG JFC smdh.
@@tduffy5 OMG you're so frigging stupid.
12:29 I remember a former Mexican cop said that the first task he was given as a cop was to use a pair of bolt cutters to cut the chains off of some bodies that were hung from a bridge or overpass by one of the drug cartels. He said that a veteran cop who was there with him commented that the cartel was being merciful, and when he asked "How is this merciful?" the vet told him "They're letting the families have the bodies to mourn over." It's was an interesting lesson in perspective.
They should round em up and shoot I'm in the street like dogs
I disagree. Being merciful is letting the rest of the families live. Sometimes the most savage cartel (CJNG - Calisco New Generation) hunt down the person who angered them and kill the entire family too. The WORST video I have ever seen is a snuff video that was put online by CJNG. They tortured a member of Los Zetas, their worst enemy and put all on video. I say this: do NOT bother looking up the video. I am no stranger to gore but this was on a compleeeetely different level of horror. To give you an idea of how horrific it is, the "victim" had his face burned off completely and he was still alive. Then they cut his arms off. At the end of the video, the camera panned to the side and you could see nearly a dozen men and women tied up and blindfolded. I have no doubt they were subjected to the same grisly execution.
Ed Calderon
@@RedGunBullets Yes.
@largol33t1 Wow, like you really don't have your facts, CJNG don't kill kid's, unlike dropping A bomb's killing woman and children what's the difference...
Denis Villeneuve is an S tier filmmaker, Sicario, Bladerunner 2049, Prisoners, DUNE, Arrival, they might not make money for the studio but man do they grab you by the heart and not let go till the credits!
He also picked a great composer. RIP Mr. Johansson, this was your finest work. The music only makes the movie more terrifying and it wouldn't have been as good without you.
josh, benecio and emily should have won oscars for this.
You don't win Oscars for good movies, you win them for being woke lol
Emily maybe, but Benicio basically just had to look threatening, cool, and mysterious. Brolin’s role was actually harder to pull off. Being the comedic relief, why actually pulling off being dangerous, and making it seem subtle is not easy to do
i feel people definitely do NOT appreciate this movie enough
denis villeneuve is a phenomenal director. hes been making hits since 2009
Maelstrom from 2000 is also really great. Just be prepared it's probably his weirdest movie
My dad told me to see this movie too, but I missed seeing it in theaters. Totally regret that, this movie is incredible!
denis villneuve might be the best director working today... and the visuals of his movies are just as stunning as their craftsmanship
This movie jacked my high up big time in RPX!
I saw this in theatres with my mom when it came out, one of the most intense films I've seen. The surround sound was amazing. My mom loved it too lol
That first scene where they do a raid on the house was so damn intense I could hear my heartbeat. Films like this are perfect in theaters, although I haven't been to one since 2019..
@@notimportant3686 100%
Was lucky to catch it in theaters
I feel like they also chose her as psychological bait for Benicio's character. Like the more she was in danger, the more his PTSD and rage kept him amped.
Interesting cos i surly that fbi or whatever agent she in have to have male operation leader or someone that willing to lets illegal situation slide but instead they choose just her.
Wouldn’t surprise me. The CIA is known for mind manipulation.
What do you get when you put Thanos and the Collector in the same shootout film? Total Punisher-level chaos.
They even torture The Punisher himself.
@@matthecinephiliac3663 And the Collector shoots SHIELD Agent Sitwell
@@technopirate304 I bet that didn't... Sitwell with Hydra.
@@Armor8377 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Also, Daniel Kaluuya, who plays Reggie was in Black Panther 1.
If you wear flip flops to a high level meeting, you know your a badass 😂
This is part of a "trilogy" that isn't an actual trilogy, but rather a string of FANTASTIC films written by Taylor Sheridan that are kind of similar in feel.
Sicario, Hell or High Water, and Wind River.
All are so SO good. Wind River is my particular favorite of them which is weird to say because it may be the hardest one to watch, but all three of those films are such tense, edge of your seat thrillers.
agreed, the frontier trilogy is great
Wind River is also my favorite, it's also the best one out of the 3.
I know there is a Sicario 3 in the works with Emily Blunt returning
Wind River is great that's why I love Yellowstone so much
@@JoeArce210 Really? She should've moved to a quiet town.
Emily Blunts character represented how dangerously naive the American public is when dealing with existential threats. She couldn’t stop thinking like a cop, and every situation was filtered through her own values, and what she thought the world was supposed to be. Brolin, and Del Toro see the the world exactly as it is, and faced with nothing but shit choices, they chose the one that will actually make the most difference. They know exactly what they are facing, and they need to be ruthless, or simply capitulate all together. They are the actual “heroes” in the story in my opinion
Exactly, Kate is essentially trying to storm the beaches of Normandy armed with a badge and search warrant.
I forgot how ruthless and brutal this movie was.
The part that impresses me most is the convoy movement. I'm a combat veteran and that's exactly how it goes. No small talk. Everyone has their game faces on. Scanning everything. Serpentine formation. No stopping for anything.
Denis Villeneuve is a master director!
"they recruting her because they are impressed by her " 🤣
That last look Alejandro gave to Kate on the balcony almost seemed like he wanted to get shot. He already got his revenge, and he understood why she'd want to shoot him. Especially after what he made Kate do. There was something empathetic about that exchange.
The realization is that Kate is not the main character… Alejandro is… it’s just shown through the narrative of Kate
The soundtrack for this movie is fantastic. The late Jóhann Jóhannsson was brilliant; I wish he had the opportunity to do the OSTs for _Blade Runner 2049_ and _Dune_ .
Go back and watch the scene where they decided to pass on Reggie. It was because he is a lawyer.
Silvio’s last words: Hail hydra
The scene at the border crossing is one of the most tense sequences I’ve ever seen in a movie
The gunshots at the end really demonstrate how hopeless and endless the situation is. Even after everything the characters we're presented with have gone through, from before, during and after the events of the movie, nothing they do changes anything.
Sort of correct. The point is nothing changes for the people of Mexico, they still have to live with the violence and consequences of the American drug habit. In America they still have the drug problem but they don’t the violence in their streets or have houses with bodies in the walls. Essentially, the movie is asking if it ok to have other people suffer for our problem. Can we curve the demand for drugs, likely not so it is sad.
@@RetroHondo67 But America did have the house with the bodies in the wall. That's how the whole movie started, it's how our main character who's not a federal agent was able to do federal shit.
While I do kind of understand your point, it's just not true.
That was the Mexican cartel which they eliminated who brought the violence to America. They are choosing the Colombians because they did not bring the violence to the American streets. For the people of Mexico or Columbia for that matter, they still have to deal with the violence. That is the point of last scene.
29:24 Thanos, the Punisher, and the Collector got into a car. . . There’s a punchline in here somewhere. 😂😂😂
The soldiers weren't mercenaries, they were the Delta Force from the US Army Special Operation Forces, one of the absolute elite units (tier one) in the world, Steve Forsing (the DEA guy with the mustache) explains that to them while they ride from the airplane to the meeting that he "Pulled a team, Just rotated back from Afghanistan, the´re a crack bunch to" That explains the ease in which they dispose of the cartel thugs by the border (who maybe was expecting "normal cops" and the guards in the tunnel, they don´t get a single guy even wounded in any of the exchanges
The operations leader says that "our friends from Delta has Volunteered. Military personel cant normally do law enforcement missions within the US, but both missions takes place in the immediate border area so it´s kind of a grey zone
The border and such missions is EXACTLY where we should have our forces.
This Dudes "giggle" is something serious!
I just love this move. Tremendous performances by the three leads. The strangest MCU film ever.
Those guys are Delta's. One of the best Tier 1 special forces in America
Yeah, not mercenaries. They're special operations forces trained for counter-terrorism missions under the Joint Special Operations Command. They, along with a small number of other "Special Mission Units", do the most secretive covert and clandestine missions in the US military. The fact that they're involved in this plan along with the CIA suggests that the orders are coming from the very top of the US government, which is why Kate's boss tells her not to worry about the legality of their actions. The CIA guys are almost certainly meant to be part of the Special Operations Group which conducts paramilitary operations, and most SOG members are recruited from SMUs like Delta Force which already have many of the skills needed and "only" need to be trained in the spycraft necessary.
@@fakecubed Yup I know that Delta guys and SEAL Team 6 guys work a lot with CIA and CIA recruits their agents from SEAL Team 6 to.
Sicario 2 : Day of the Soldado. Although Emily Blunt is not in it and its a new mission (plot), it is well worth the watch!
It's actually a parallel universe
Weird, I hated Sicario 2, it felt like such an America Fuck Yeah! movie that it completely put me off, unlike the first which felt much more grounded in reality.
@@mormacil yeah it was kind of bizarre. Sicario was pretty heavily about how the War on Drugs was lost and no matter what we try to do it doesn’t change anything.
Sicario 2 was… like you said, “America Fuck Yeah!”
It was still a fun movie but it lacked any sort of depth
Well, no Denis or Deakins as the filmmakers really hurt the sequel from being as good.
One of my favorite line is when Alejandro say, you are asking how watch works, for now just keep an eye on the time. 👌
"Sicario" is definitely not given the love it deserves. I have no doubt the government works with monsters like Del Toro's character in their "special operations". Sometimes it takes a monster to beat a monster.
The boarder scene is a master class in how to build tension.
This movie has by far the coldest revenge scene. Even if it was just for a moment, Alejandro made the man who took his family away feel EXACTLY what that pain is like. Such an awesome movie.
You can literally see the look of disbelief in the cartel boss' eyes when he kills them. The guy genuinely thought he'd be able to talk himself out of that situation because in his mind he's the most powerful man in the country, he's untouchable.
I remember when this film came out in 2015, I was still at university and had a lot more time on my hands to watch loads of films. I was passing by my local cinema one night looking to see what was on and I saw the poster for this film. My initial reaction was that it just looked like a predictable paint by numbers, hollow action movie, even though I love a lot of the cast, so I gave it a pass. Didn't think much about it until I started seeing all the positive and glowing reviews it was getting, so I decided to bite the bullet and give it a chance. I went to see it one night and I came out afterwards feeling like I've never been happier to have been proven wrong about a film. This and Blade Runner 2049 I think are Villeneuve's crowning masterpieces. Everyone always bangs on about how Arrival is the best thing Villeneuve has done. Don't get me wrong, I like Arrival, but it didn't have the same impact on me as Sicario or Blade Runner 2049. This movie came out over 8 years ago, and whenever I re-watch it, it feels like I only saw it for the first time yesterday, that's how fresh this film has stayed in my mind.
I was only going to watch a few minutes of your reaction but dang you just drew me right in for the whole ride!
I'd never intended to watch this movie, felling like I've seen so many on the genre, what more/new/take could be done, and it was years until I did put it on one night, figuring I could just fall asleep to it droning on in the background. Woah, it was phenomenal. It just played out like some brushstrokes of a past vague dream. I started watching more from the same director and was equally impressed every time. Then I found out he often collaborated with the same person for the music (in this it was so hypnotic). Sadly he passed away before Dune was to be made. I just can't help but wonder, if he was able to come up with something that transcended/elevated Sicario's subject matter the way he did, what fantastical work could he have done for Dune :/
Just happened to be looking through your guys channel, saw sicario and clicked INSTANTLY. Enjoying your guys' content, love that you guys watch international stuff too, especially the korean movies/series! Wish you the best and hope you guys keep making more videos!
😂 “Medellín” is place in Columbia (where they have one of the oldest active Cartels). So in a way when they say that place with a question mark it’s like they’re saying “A Columbian?” because they can detect his accent and wording.
I hope they make a part three. Incredible 2 movies!!!!
There is a part 3 in the works with Emily Blunt returning
In The end, when macer stared and pointed the gun at deltoro. She was battle inside her chest. If she pull the triggered she wont make any diffrent like manuel diaz said to deltoro. And then she made a good choice put the gun down.
Emily was awesome in this. Wat a perfect acting she made ❤
One of my favorite movies of all time, definitely watch the sequel
Awesome reaction! Love your channel! Really recommend you watch the sequel : Day of the Soldado.
At the end, I think Benicio was never planning to kill Kate. I believe the threat of gun point was so that Kate would be able to live with herself with deciding to sign the paper and her actions from the mission. Benicio made it so that she wouldn’t feel guilty by choosing her life over doing the “right thing”.
Also, another reason why Benicio would kill Fausto’s sons was not only for revenge for his daughter, but because if he didn’t, the sons would grow up and hunt Benicio down later to avenge their father’s death. Taking out the whole cartel bloodline in one go, instead of facing the consequences later.
Gird your loins for the second one, guys! Your energy and attention to detail is so much fun. Like…it makes movies I’ve seen super fun.
They also didn't choose Reggie because he was a lawyer. You don't need a guy knowing the laws around illegal activity.
Another movie I'd recommend is "End of Watch" if you like the crime stuff like this
There's illegal, and then there's illegal. When it's the US President ordering clandestine military and intelligence units to conduct covert operations, you can be pretty reasonably certain nobody's going to jail over it. The involvement of JSOC/Delta and CIA/SOG guys clearly shows the orders are coming from the very top. That's basically what her boss at the FBI was trying to hint at. Nobody's getting arrested. Nobody's getting prosecuted. It's a black op nobody's ever going to know about.
There are so many intense scenes in this movie but I think the one at the border is the most blood pumping.
Wild prediction on the explosion in the beginning, great reaction guys! Hope y'all do the sequel!
Great reactions. The sequel is great as well. For other movies by the same writer you should watch Wind River and Hell or High Water. Both are fantastic and well worth watching. A heads up though, they're both dark movies.
not great, just good. Dennis Villanueve really a great film maker. without him in the sequel, new director just try to copy his styles
Wind River is one of my most rewatched movies its amazing
Wind River is great. Hell or High Water is Damn good
At the end when Kate is aiming at him, Alejandro turns and presents his heart side to her. He's saying he is done, ready to die even, he's gotten his revenge.
As a sicario myself I can confirm this is so realistic.
Hey, were you at the convention? 😂
😂
Awesome reaction loved it y’all were great can’t wait to see y’all again for part two even better 👍😎
If you guys really like this movie (especially more than II) I recommend a directors list for this specific filmmaker.
Denis Villeneuve is probably my favorite modern director and his filmography has banger after banger after banger! Here’s a list for ya! Happy reacting!
1998 August 32nd on Earth
2000 Maelstrom
2009 Polytechnique
2010 Incendies
2013 Prisoners
2013 Enemy
2015 Sicario
2016 Arrival
2017 Blade Runner 2049
2021 Dune: Part I
2023 Dune: Part II
The fact is that Alejandro is determined for revenge. No matter how much out of the book and unorthodox to get it. They are still in the justice side of the law in the end . The police force is dealing with someone who has been emotionally torn apart by the violence that the cartel is causing innocent civilians and family. Everything it takes to take out the objective and at the same time get revenge , personal revenge and justice .
This movie was a hidden gem.
The music is so good in this movie. Great tension building. Denis Villenueve is one of the best directors out there. Another great Denis movie that's worth a watch is Prisoners, which I've only seen a few reaction channels watch which is unfortunate because it's a great movie with more tension building like Sicario. As for the sequel, I think it's worth a watch imo, not as good as the first but still enjoyable
I definitely suggest you watch the sequel. While it's not the same director it's still pretty good
Yeah the writing is pretty poor compared to the first one but it sure is entertaining!
Love it when you guys discover an awesome movie
I don't get a chance to watch you guys a lot these days as you watch stuff I'm not into, but I do love it when you watch stuff and like stuff I like. Glad you did this one (in advance).
Brilliant thing about this story telling, Kate is not the protagonist. Alejandro is. It's his story but told through her eyes.
A wildly underrated aspect of this film is how closely it shows the basic operational principles of the CIA. I've read a few books on the subject, and the basic HUMINT (HUMan INTelligence) operating procedure is that CIA Operatives (Josh Brolin) will manipulate, use, and utilize Agents (Benicio Del Toro) in order to achieve the goals of the US Government. Over time, those two people can become friendly, get to know each other, and Operatives can support their Agents so much that they risk a lot to help and protect them.
This movie is a great example of that relationship, and it shows out even more in the sequel.
Benicio Del Toro is a huge crush of mine. He's absolutely fantastic. Josh Brolin and Emily Blunt were fantastic in this. Also props to Jeffery Donovan. He was really good too. What's so scary is that this is probably pretty close to what happens with drug cartels and what agents on both sides of the border have to deal with everyday. Enjoyed y'alls reaction to this.
Sicario (and the second) are perfect example of how to set the tone and build suspense... incredible films.
Love this movie. I remember watching it, not expecting much, and being blown away.
The fact this movie got ZERO Oscars is such a travesty....
BTW the ending is interpreted like the semblance of peace and order is really just "child's play".
because Oscar is for real life "slice of life" american life. not for mexican
Reminds me of the end of Traffic, with the baseball game.
I've been watching this movie for a dozen time, and it never failed to amazed me.
I love this movie and getting to watch reacters find it and see them experience for the first time is always a great watch!
Amazing movie! I saw this a few years back and JUST realized last week that "Silvio" the cop is Agent Jasper Sitwell from the MCU
So glad you guys watched this it’s a fire movie
I want to put this out there, even if you guys dont want to watch it but I highly recommend you guys watch End of Watch if you haven't already. It's an amazing movie about two friends who are policemen in LA (iirc) and it's filmed almost in a documentary style so their relationship and everything that happens in the movie feels extremely real
"This is a land of wolves" tell me that line wasn't hard af. Funny reaction as all ways.
Yep own this on DVD. Great movie!
Glad yall came across it...
Hi Kacee and Anthony. Great reaction to this movie. Good story, action, and acting. This movie is very underrated. Aloha
Not Mercs, they’re meant to be Delta Force special forces. We’re mentioned as the team had just come back from Afghanistan.
I love Sicario it has amazing shots, the acting is amazing. Great reaction, you guys really paid attention, and felt the intensity of the moment. PART 2 is also very very good. Definitely worth checking out.
One of my all time favorites 🙌
Oh, I had to see this reaction. Soon as I saw that ya'll recently watched this, I was like "Oh yeah, I got to see this one. I know they'll love it.
34:27 Not mercenaries, U.S. Army Delta. They're exceptionally skilled at this kind of operation.
Sicario has such a great soundtrack. RIP Jóhann Jóhannsson
I can only imagine if they did Dune together
Im a film&tv major at SCAD and one of my first film professors was one of the producers for this movie. We looked at the entire Juárez scene and it was really cool to see what went into planning that scene. They storyboarded the whole scene and we got to see a small bit of the storyboard pages and read through that bit of the official script and it was really cool to see the changes they made during production and editing from the original script. They shot this in Mexico city and shut down whole highways and parts of the city to shoot this. It's a phenomenal film.
Fun/terrifying bit of trivia. If you pay attention at the bus station scene, Alejandro uses the phrase "Fausto Alarcon, El Verdugo". El Verdugo means "the executioner".
Colombian spanish or Mexican spanish?
@@EricTD1995 pretty much all dialects, as far as I know. If you've ever played Resident Evil 4 one of the bosses is called Verdugo
Great reaction guys! This movie is in my top ten. Hi from el paso!
Did you notice that the actor playing the bald Mexican police officer is the same one who played Agent Sitwell in the MCU movies?
ahora vas a conocer a dios
Is one of the coldest lines in cinematic history
Definitely check out the second movie! Plus, I want your statue of Ryuk in the background
this was one of the most shocking ends i ever saw
Remember good folks in law enforcement, the proper way to serve a search warrant is driving and armored vehicle through the wall into the living room of the home. Never mind the kids playing xbox in there. Drug houses often use kids as shields against this type of entrance. So, don't get any ideas from this movie.
The question Kate has to answer is: "Does she want Alejandro out there fighting against the cartels his way, or does she want to shoot him in the back and become a cold blooded killer like he is?"
Every character in this movie represents a different take on the question "Do the ends justify the means?" Matt Graver believes wholeheartedly that they do, and he is never in doubt about it. Alejandro Garcia used to believe in the law; he was a prosecutor, but after his family is killed, he decides that the ends of defeating the cartels and getting revenge for his family justifies performing the same act that made him who he is, killing a family. Kate Macer believes that the ends do not justify the means, but at the end of the movie, she is caught between two different questions about ends and means: first, does wanting to stop Alejandro from fighting the cartels justify murdering him in cold blood, and second, does wanting to put an end to cartel violence justify letting Alejandro continue fighting the war his way? In the end, she doesn't kill him, and he gets to continue fighting, which means that Kate, at least tacitly, believes that his ends justify his means.
And the last scene in the movie, the soccer game, is not just showing that nothing has changed; it's actually symbolic foreshadowing about what happens in the world after the movie ends. The two teams represent the cartels and the forces fighting them. When the shooting starts, both teams stop playing, symbolizing what happened to the war now that the cartel leader Alejandro assassinated was killed. Eventually, someone, the police officer's son we've been following, starts playing again, symbolizing that eventually someone else will rise to take over the now leaderless cartel.
Benecio Del Toro should have won an Oscar for this! That sequence from Tunnel to Killing the big boss was absolutely brilliant! Probably the best stealth to kill sequence I ever seen! 😮
This is one of my favourite movies of all time.
Awesome Review/Reaction
I love movies with Del Torro. He's cool actor.
Gracias
The ending was great and ambiguous:
IF she shot him down, she wasn't doing by the book.
BUT, IF SHE MISS... Well, what you do if you shot the devil and miss the shot?
Gotta watch Sicario 2…. like right now! Great reaction ❤️🎥❤️
This movie do suspense and tension at the highest level!
I just watched this movie like a month ago for the first time and it blew me away. I like all Tyler Sheridans stuff, but man did this impress me. One of my favourite movies.
At the risk of putting my foot in my mouth in case you already have, you gotta check out hell or high water by him. Another banger. Sorry this video is the first time I came across you guys, but I'm subbed and will be diving into your channel after this
This is easily top 5 thriller movie all time. Just a masterpiece from beginning to end
