one of the most underrated movies of the last decade definitely. imagine you are watching a movie written by taylor sheridan, directed by dennis villeneuve, shot by roger deakins, music composed by johann johannson and acted by emily blunt, benicio del toro, and josh brolin. what a magnificient composition and combination for a great movie. watched it tens of times. just a masterpiece, that's all.
Villeneuve is fast becoming one of the best directors out there, Enemy and Prisoners were both fantastic. I hope he keeps making quality films.
he is fantastic
Well this comment aged like fine wine lol
This movie scared the SHIT out of me. For so many reasons. The moral relativism is not the least of it.
I loved Sicario! Watched it five times. Love the direction. The acting. The moral ambiguity.
Emily, Josh and Benicio are a fucking directors dream team. If I am ever lucky enough to helm a project, they will be my first choice. Also, Brendan Gleeson, Millie Brown and Chris Cooper.
I'd watch a Gleeson-Brown-Cooper movie.
Atom Storm plus roger deakins as your DP
A great film that raises a lot of questions and leaves some unanswered. It's left up to viewers to consider right or wrong.
To an extent, but I think Denis’s revulsion at what the US government is doing is pretty easy to feel through the score and the lighting. It’s an interesting movie because the screenwriter is ambivalent about the behavior in the movie, and the director isn’t. He sees shades of gray, but he also sees right and wrong.
What an AMAZING film!
such a good film
EB character cries for Daddy, as JB character states, every time she disagrees. EB character could have been killed at least four times in this film and Benicio's character could have killed her twice. He operating in one of the most covert ops against the cartels and won't let cry baby Kate gets in his way.
Alejandro is as ruthless as those that he battles and Kate's death would have been treated as collateral damage without anyone asking questions.
check out prisoners and enemy if you liked sicario. also a fyi, he is directing blade runner 2049 right now and it will be released oct 2017!
EXCELLENT AND VALUABLE!
really cool camera is focused))) what kind of camera is that if' it's not secret?)
poor title. This is Blunt, Del Toro, and Villanueve.
best movie
it is a nice film, no question - presents an interesting point of view or perspective. It has a certain Twilight Zone quality to it however, to a great extent the emotions and human responses within the narrative have a kind of bleached out sense about them, as though the characters are somehow muzzled emotionally. In a way, like the effect of the internet on humanity ---- characters within the film, like everyone exposed to the fire hose of modern electronic communications, are emotionally "dulled down" by the society portrayed in the film. They are exposed to extreme stimuli, yet they respond rather quietly, turning their feelings more inward than outward. Perhaps this is a deliberate subtext of the narrative, perhaps it simply reflects how people are today, in the environs of problems such as the film portrays, perhaps reflecting the broad swath of humanity, who knows.
You're reading too much into it dude, it's just a movie about the drug war.
@@IbsaUtube if that's what it is to you, that's what it is to you. You could say Shakespeare was just some guy scribbling phrases as they occurred to him, but most people don't see it that way. Sicario is a good film, it's not just another cop/doper flick. It may not go down in history as the next Macbeth, but it is a couple of cuts above the typical action movie. It portrays the moral and ethical and human dullness that associates to the drug trade and illegal drug use - in the sense of being a lens on that. It does not mean the movie is dull - it chronicles and displays the mental and emotional blankness that come with the fog of drugs, in terms of the effect of the drug trade and its criminality on society. But if you like it as an action movie, more power to you.

"Perhaps this is a deliberate subtext of the narrative, perhaps it simply reflects how people are today, in the environs of problems such as the film portrays, perhaps reflecting the broad swath of humanity, who knows"
the quote above is where i think you're reading too much into the movie. Your reply confirms my suspicion that your're the kinda person who enjoys writing whole paragraphs about a piece of rock they stepped on.
@@IbsaUtube if the movie made no impression on you, meant nothing to you - why are you wasting electricity writing comments about it ? just to say the movie means nothing ? if you didn't like the movie - fine. watch a different one.
@@IbsaUtube however, the fact remains the film has some very good actors and actresses, they all did quite well in their acting. It's a well written script. Nicely filmed. Interesting vignette on an aspect modern life. it's a nice film, beyond just the "action" of guns blasting, it's quite a good film actually.
I loved the movie. But I agree with the creator of the TH-cam video essay "Kate is the True Villain in Sicario". Kate's imaginary "by the book" methods are those that SHE thinks MUST be used to fight the Cartels, when it is obvious that those methods fail to work against the cartels, and regardless of how many good people are getting killed in the mean time. Kate's "by the book" methods aren't those of her FBI bosses or elected officials, that tell her that her team is using the right methods to fight the cartel. She is the delusional hero in her own mind demanding that government officers/agents who are putting their lives at risk on the front lines of the war play by her imaginary rules of engagement. She is Javert in Les Misérables, a police inspector with a strict and narrow view of morality and duty, that most readers find repugnant. Alejandro is the protagonist, who most viewers can sympathize with, and whose goal is to avenge the murder of his wife and daughter and make sure the Cartel head won't do that to anyone else. Kate is the antagonist, seeking to stop Alejandro, caring more about the "book" than the lives she could save, and being more of a danger to her team than the cartel is. And this is why she is the Villain of the movie. I do have to say, everything leading up to the execution scene, would tell you that Alejandro would not kill the Cartel bosses wife and children. That is something a writer through in to make the audience less sympathetic to Alejandro, and swing the sympathy vote to Kate. I never saw that as a goal of the American Team.
My service rifle is way cooler then theirs, Troy XM177E2 w/Retro Brownell's 4x scope.
Her best character was in edge of tomorrow with Tom Cruise
they seem very uncoordinated, very overly trying not very engaging.. one would expect the opposite from the best actors etc 1 big poor sign from the industry. clocks ticking
clocks ticking on what?
It’s their jobs to engage you with on screen performances, not interviews
What are you even saying?
Poor you judging without watching the movie 😂😂😂😂
Turns out, both in the moment and seven years afterwards, the entire comment was incorrect on every level. No small feat, sir!
