Sicario - Trailer/Discussion

I keep on hearing good things about this flick. Don't think I'll get to see it while it's out though.

 

What you mean?

 

Just rock this style of look and shit and those cartel guys won't dare step to you.

 

Nah - don't look much to me.

Go and watch Cartlel Land instead.

 

Sicario

Bad ass!

8/10

 

See? I always pick the great movies.

Fucking movie-genius, me.

 

Go fuck yourself. :hh:

 

:woo:

 

8/10....VERY GOOD..It was gritty...2 hour movie but it felt shorter..it moved fast didn't waste any scenes. Del Toro was a beast..I wish they had gone into more of his backstory of what happen to his wife/daughter...backflashes or whatever...and I also wish the story was more complex...it was simple, straight to the point...in a good way..but still I wanted MOREEEE...

 

spent my hard earned cash on this one based solely on your recommendation. It better be good, buster.

 

is that Carlos Condit?

 

Well though I seen it already...SEND me the link!!

 

Antonio you SON OF A BITCH!!!JL!

 

Sicario Now this is what I call a brilliant film, unlike that overrated remake that DiCaprio starred in. The performances are top notch, particularly Benicio Del Toro who deserved a freaking Academy Award nomination, but no Hispanics will be boycotting the Oscars for that. The cinematography is excellent particularly those helicopter shots. The music is as a big player here as the characters. Great plot and excellent direction. I am watching this again. 9/10

 

On your 55" TV at 720p?

 

Nah, on my 1987 Sony 25" tv at camcorder mode in all black & white glory with audience conversations and shadows of heads blocking the view.

 

Watched this last night. Had some good set-pieces in it but I never felt that much drama from it.
Acting was okay, to be honest.

Definately not what I expected given all the amazing reviews...

7/10

 

I gave it a 8/10 and I meant that rating. HOWEVER, I don't think it's all that re-watchable. It's EXCELLENT for one viewing though.

Better than The Revenant? I don't see it. I'd re-watch The Revenant before I re-watch Sicario.

 

Have you (or anyone else) watched Cartel Land yet?

 

Really 8 and 9 out of ten? I agree it doesn't have reachability but then it really doesn't have watchability IMO. All this movie basically is is watching a government group go out on a few missions without ever explaining or discussing what or why they're doing it until the end, and even then it's not totally explained what is going on. There is also very little dialogue. I didn't like the action scenes either because it was basically just watching Special Forces level guys murdering Mexican thugs and criminals. I can't think of one redeeming quality of this film, other then it looked good and had a pretty cool soundtrack. I thought the lead actress was flat and boring until I realized they gave her very little to work with. Brolin and Benicio were pretty good because they both ooze charisma but even they couldn't save this horrible film. After it ended I felt like I had wasted my evening. 5.5/10.

 

7/10 IMO. I agree with some of your review, I just didn't really care for the characters much, it's a pretty emotionless movie, more about action that characters.
