Definitely need to see a react to 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, one of the best War- related movies made in a long time (and hits hard for many reasons being both a Veteran and a Contractor, the book is also fantastic). Congrats again on the book brother, good stuff!
@Lice Miller but it's not a sequel It's confusing because it was never explained that it wasn't a sequel. It's an anthology. The movies have nothing to do with one a other except for similar characters and being about cartels.
@Lice Miller it may be a "sequel" that is the second movie in the anthology. But it's not related to the first movie. Outside of some recurring characters and being about the cartel. The story is not a sequel to the first movie
what you got wrong about Kate in the first movie is, her purpose is literally to be annoying. She's supposed to be a sheep who entered the land of the wolves.
I remember reading something somewhere about how she is the antagonist of the first movie. Ever since she showed up on Matt's team all she did was push back and do everything he told her not to do.
He is a soldier.. His all life depends on people doing what they are supposed, when they are supposed to do. Not to free thinkers or people double thinking every order. From an army standpoint that is a recipe for disaster, to team up with such individuals.
I think you are operating under a faulty premise about the movies. In the first movie everything the were doing, until the end, was on US soil (which is why they needed the FBI to sign off on it) to insert DelToro's character so he can do his thing. After he was in Mexico, they only provided some logistical and intel support. I don't think anyone, except DelToro who is not an official US agent anyway, killed anyone in Mexico. The tunnel is a grey area. In the second movie, they were wholly operating in Mexico without permission from the Mexican government. Mexico is a US ally and I'm pretty sure it would cause an international incident if the US army was operating weapons free in Mexico without permission. That is why they used mercs and private security gear. They could not use official US assets. I could be wrong, but that is how I see it.
@@chuckhoyle1211 you LITERALLY said that "no one *OTHER than Del Toro's character killed someone" in Mexico. That's wrong. Read my reply again. I was specifically responding to THAT part of your comment. It doesn't matter who's permission they had. That's not what I was referring to.
@@betsan5832 so what? What's your point? Permission had nothing to do with who was killed at the boarder. Read my reply again and pay attention. Delta operatives and the other team leader opened fire and killed the hit team in the car. That was on Mexican soil. They had not crossed the boarder yet. So Del Toro's character WAS NOT the only person to kill someone on Mexican soil. THAT'S what I was referring to.
Believe it or not, those Blackhawks were PRIVATELY owned! They're owned by NW Helicopters in Olympia, WA and crewed by mostly retired/former SOCOM types. One of their mechanics I talked to was with 160th SOAR and was in the Mog
Mad respect to the 160th crews. Knew a couple of The Hardy Boys that were there & their feelings about them are unrivaled from the start to finish of the way they could handle those Blackhawks & Little Birds!
At the end of the movie, when Alejandro asks the kid if he wants to be a Sicario, I realized I was watching the movie in the theater at the mall where they filmed that scene; literally feet away. Burque, NM, y'all! The next day I at at that stand... Cuco's! Thanks Men!!!
Kinda how I felt when I was at the food courts of the DEAD Gwinnett Place Mall (Stranger Things season 3) and DYING North Dekalb Mall (Fear Street franchise).
At 15:19, they want her to think she's still in Mexico, but the "kidnapper" told her to drink from the faucet if she's thirsty... Nobody in Mexico drinks from the tap lol. It took my wife from Jalisco like 3 months to trust the tap water here in the US. If I'm someone from Mexico, and someone tells me to drink from the tap, I'd know I was no longer in Mexico
But they’re kidnappers holding her to get to her father, “if your thirsty drink from the tap” seems more threatening, like we don’t give a shit about you to even give you safe water to drink, don’t ask for shit we don’t care. That’s how it made it seem to me at least.
I'm going to guess that this guy he met at that restaurant is probably the head of a private security contractor that Matt as a CIA paramilitary officer would certainly over his career would build a relationship with.
Definitely implied to be the owner of a giant glob military contracting firm, possibly with multiple DOD/CIA contracts which is why he would want to both protect US intelligence and Russian guys... Or he is just a higher level CIA guy, (even though that wouldn't work without coming back to him in the real world as he'd have to work through dozens of people, having them file no reports, and have multiple levels of management explain the time and resources expended) But either way it works for the movie, and is somewhat plausible I guess lol
I agree I love both films. When people ask me what is Mexico like with cartels I just tell them watch Sicario 1 and 2. It's crazy to believe shite like that happens miles from America where México be looking like the middle east in terms of violence. Not all of Mexico cus it's still a beautiful country but when it's cartel infested that underworld is a literal horror movie
@@FreddyD177Mexico and South America are more violent on induvidual level than Middle East. But Middle East is catching up. I believe that they learned from Cartel how effective fear is.

Exactly. I've actually done it with one of my Berettas and it does work.... But you have to literally be standing right on the target for it to be accurate.
He 100% makes it that you can no longer suspend disbelief. Which, is pretty much the point of these channels, but good lord I wish there was at least one part of this movie that he left enjoyable. He actually ruins every single movie he reacts to. I couldn't do that, I love movies too much to tear them to shreds even when they're accurate.
@@thefreshprinceofbelleairbeach He doesn't have an ounce of authority, i say he's bringing knowledge when it comes to special forces that's it, everything else is pretty clear he's no expert. He doesn't need to be i watch him for comedic value and his take on hwo hollywood portrays a subject he's familiar with.
I always looked at Alejandro's pistol thing was more for any witnesses that would tell what happened, someone shooting in a goofy manner you'd probably say it was some gang banger or something trying to be cool, not a middle aged lawyer turned assassin.
Well that and the sidearm he was using actually has a select fire in it. He didn’t have the foldable grip on it that it usallu has on it so he uses his finger as a way to make sure the pistol stayed controllable
Always love learning something new with these videos. The vehicle interdiction and how different scenarios can play out was so interesting. Keep up the great work Buck!
the point of the rapid bullet trigger is that it isn't meant to look professional but from a rival cartel. it's meant to look sloppy with random bullet impacts. cartels are known to go all out and be ruthless but also sloppy.
100% on the mono viz nods. Used to do a lot of night ops. One night, we're on patrol through some farmland. Come up to this huge stretch of just darkness. We had to cross it and even with nvgs, could make out any details to it's depth or anything. I'm first down, turns out it's an irrigation ditch.(I completely eat shit) It's 6-61/2 ft deep and I was completely covered in mud the rest of the night.
Great video, brother. I was hoping you would've shown the part where BD had the cartel guys driving up on his left side, on the road, and he pitched the grenade into the passenger side window, while being shot at. I thought that scene was priceless! Keep these videos coming, brother!
oh man, yall skipped over my favorite part of the movie, the drone strike. where Mat is in the room with that pirate. he shows him a drone feed of his brother's house and pirate thought he was bluffing be hes like "no rules today sport, only orders" *picks up sat phone* "send it" Splash, over! then moves to the next feed for pirate's next brother.
So from what the director said is the 2nd movie is actually a different universe than the first movie, even though it uses the same main characters. I think he also said he wanted to continue the story from the 2nd movies story line
At 09:23, the criticized move is actually Benicio's character bracing out with his forefinger and holding down the trigger to allow recoil to drive the gun back and then the finger pressure to reset the trigger; kind of like a predecessor to the FRT on a pistol
Pistol bumpfire baby! It's an iconic Benicio camera shot, so they used it again... Sadly with blanks it's probably actually slower than just pulling the trigger 🤣 although it does work from the hip with just right posturing... although not reliably or accurate... But its the Benicio move, so it feels pretty awesome 🤫
Fucking someone with a half a brain around here, jesus. He’s bump firing! Once again, just cause you’re former mil doesn’t make you an expert in all things shooting/weapons
I took it as the US government is footing the bill through black budget, and he's utilizing a PMC to get what he needs to do the stuff. PMCs are more than just security, and ex-military/SF, but to work security in a lot of them you have to have that background. That's just how I took the dinner scene.
GI Issued Berettas are not pieces of shit. They have had hundreds of thousands of rounds ran through them . You know as well as I do,what we were issued had not been kept up to standard as far as cleaning and or changing out parts. Those Berettas were rode hard and put up wet. They still function pretty decent considering the insane amount of wear and tear that was on them.
Yeah I've got a Beretta and it's an excellent pistol but it's reputation is kinda ruined by soldiers because they were issued old worn out pistols and then go about preaching how shit they are, I've got a lot of respect for military personnel but more often than not they are not nearly as educated on arms as they think they are and as a result they give some things a bad name and others are put on a pedestal like all the vets I've met who claim AKs are some indestructible piece of slav magic and so forth.
@@taylorbennion3706 I agree 100%. I’m a Veteran of Eight Years,was in the ARMY MOS 12B / SAPPER. We trained with the platform and most were wore out but still functioned. As well, you would be surprised how much the Soldiers did not know and understand about firearm’s in general. That even goes for Police in the Civilian world. They only will trash something because they either heard a couple others say something and or do not know how to properly handle and operate the firearms in hand.
@@punisher3167 yup people have a tendency of regurgitating things they've heard without really knowing the why. I wonder what people will be saying about the new Sig down the line. Thanks for the reply Have a good one man
A good tip for clearing under nods is to keep them angled up a bit to be able to see under them. Helps with light saturation. All you gotta do is look down enough to look through the tubes ;)
@FNGAcademy This movie isn't technically a sequel to the first film. It's kind of like an anthology. So it's the same characters in the same broader setting but with a different story. In other words, this film is a reset in the "Sicario universe": like the first film never happened. That may help remove the confusion about ROE differences between both films.
i know they say that alejandro is dead and that it would be impossible, bu there was a story of a scout with the british empire, a local, on guadal canal who volunteered to scout for the first marine division. He was tied to a tree by a japanese patrol, bayoneted 3 times in the torso, and had his throat slashed before they left him for dead. he hobbled and crawled 3 miles to friendly lines, informed the CO of the incoming attack and survived the entire ordeal. saving thousands of marine lives. Sometimes real life is more unbeleivable then hollywood.
You know what Buck? I think you’re the shit for just being yourself on screen. Nothing against any other operator as a content creator but they’re so serious in their dialogue that you forget they’re just people. You just seem like some regular person and it convinces me that i can also be an operator while still being normal.
I had watch the first movie but not the second; after this review; I definitely will take a look at it. I will highly recommend 2007 ELITE SQUAD. it is a Brazilian movie about Rio the Janeiro Police Special Operations Brigade or BOPE. a lot of police corruption scenes an urban combat in the fabellas. You will like this one
There's an interview with the writer of these two movies and even though it's called Sicario 2 it's actually a stand alone movie. The writer wrote two scripts for the first movie and the studio bought both. Nothing in the first movie matters in the second.
Can you review the contractor? I think you’d appreciate the scenes where they actually slice the pie and check corners. Looks like they had good advisors working with them on room clears.
On next vid, if havent already, can go over how to deal with bugs? Like mosquitos, gnats, flies, and other insects while out on patrol, or camping out, or setting up new barracks? Does everyone have to carry bug spray, or is there some "natural way" to prevent the bugs from swarming you?
I will have to say, I thought Buck was going to rip apart the fact that the humvee’s were not up armored. They were normal. When I saw the movie. I laughed how the 240’s were being stopped by 1/4” glass.
i enjoy these guys review and thorough tear down of every scene then described thru there real first hand experiences plus these guys are super cool as well. i love it. u guys are the real legends
Completely agreed shooting under nods is awkward AF if not trained. We had the pvs7s at first then to pvs14 then 31s. Fell on my face trying to step up on a ladder with the 7s. 😂🤣 Great review boy's! 🏴🤘🏼
@@austinduncan5065 1993. We Were testing out a strap that went over your helmet which had a swivel and clasp that held your nods that you could swing it up out of your way.
Love it! Great breakdown of both Sicario movies guys. Really enjoyed your take on these iconic films. I especially liked how you pointed out the Hollywood vs reality shots. Quite an education for me.
Sicario 2 is better than the first film. Just not having the annoying FBI agent was a major plus, but the plot, pacing, script, and action were better in part 2. I liked part 1, but I loved part 2.
Hey Guys, Just found your channel and really enjoy the different persepctive of these movies based on your experience. I have a couple of suggestions for movies you might find interesting to review: - Close (2019) with Noomi Rapace - I thought this was an interesting movie from the perspective of a female close protection specialist. Some of the scenarios seemed quite believable, considering a physically smaller / weaker woman acting as protection, but would be interested in your opinion. - Wrath Of Man (2021) with Jason Statham - from the perspective of a criminal out for revenge for the death of his son. I would be interested in your view on the big shootout scene later in the movie. Anyway, keep up the good work!
If you can find it, Kajaki (called Kilo Two Bravo in North America) is a good watch. True story of British Paras in 2004 Kajaki Dam Helmand get trapped in a minefield. By the time a US Blackhawk lifted them out 4 mines has exploded leaving 8 wounded.
they do make thermal sights that can see through dust in daylight. Granted in my day they were mounted on TANKS, but I am sure they have advanced thermal optics since the 90s.
In my experience, that bump fire method is specifically effective with a M9/92F. You can empty a 17 round mag in about a second. Hitting something is more subjective.
I’d love to see them breakdown hacksaw ridge and we were soldiers. Both movies directed by Mel Gibson. Those episodes of beers and breakdowns would be great. Another movie that would be great for them to do would be Fury with Brad Pitt.
Learnt a lot from this video! Although I think they're missing the point that this isn't a direct sequel. It's more of an alternate timeline to the first film. So Brolin & his team aren't having all their resources taken away from them. Instead they are being brought down a different path to the first movie, with less direct government oversight
Since he was a cop for two years you guys need to react to THE ROOKIE on ABC I know he would have some funny shit to say about that, or SWAT on CBS please
Remember that ending scene from the movie LIFE when that lady in the space pod was spinning out of control into space? This ending theme was in that movie too.
Every once in a while I see pairs of Blackhawks flying in the area between El Paso TX & Holloman AFB along US 54 in Alamogordo, NM. Always looking for a hyper-green Suburban in between them & a interdiction........ will keep on looking....
I got to play around with a set of white phosphorus quad tubes a few years back, absolutely loved them, they were an Air Force TAC-P’s who let me check them out. I’d sell a kidney for a set of my own.
I mean, I feel like the character in the restaurant is an “Erik Prince” - type character whom would, can and maybe does do things like this. So it doesn’t seem that far out of wack. But I’m just a dumb dude.
You guys should react to the 2018 movie 'operation red sea'. It's a foreign action movie depicting the true story of a Chinese special forces team that is sent into yemen to evacuate chinese citizens in 2015. It's probably the best foreign war film I have seen. Solid, relentless action and realistic shootouts. Its like a chinese black hawk down. You guys would love it.
Also, T-34 another foreign film about the eastern front of world war 2. Fury, Hacksaw Ridge, We were soldiers and the 2012 Dredd movie would also fit what you guys do on this channel. As a fellow army veteran, I would love to hear your thoughts on these films.
I always assumed he did that stupid pistol trick to make it look less professional...like he as using a machine pistol instead of professional precision shooting...
Too much to clean up to sterilize the scene. Not all countries have those. Cartels don't, so It would alert that it wasn't a rival cartel, which was the mission.
Jerry Miculek does that 2 handed pistol trick. He's been clocked at 600rds/min on a 1911 and he has another way with wheel guns where he fans the hammer beautifully with his left 5 fingers, so almost the same effect.
I'm actually feel saddened buck has the standard military opinion on the beretta 92 lol, like ik he is a standard military dude, so it makes sense, nothing wrong with that, but it's 2022, i, on god thought people had evolved out of that opinion by now when everyone after getting out realized that it's just because their 92s were beat to shit after 20 years of abuse and not because they're bad pistols, military didn't pick them for no reason, i don't think they're any better or worse than glocks or anything, just that glocks would also fail if subjected to the same abuse, and dudes will be saying the same shit about the sig pistols in 20 years too when they get beat to death and stop working lol. Let's say I've used all 3 i just listed a lot and as long as they've been well-taken care of, I've never had a problem with any of these brands tbh, but you can't beat the 92s looks and metal frame, that's for sure.
I know someone who from eight years ago who was shot five times: three at the back, one at the back of the arm, and the fifth at the back of the head. He survived that. And he is still doing his day job just like before.
You talk about Kate in the first Sicario. After the tunnel breach, I was trying to frag her through the screen. I have never met a fellow LEO that irritating, dangerous to her team and clueless of how the world works. No way she could have been a fed in Phoenix. I lived in Phoenix and sometimes you have to get a little dirty when cartels are involved. It can be a literal war zone.
The don't shoot, just be ready order was pretty logical to me. At that moment, they didn't even know what the exact intention of the chopper interception was, and there is a good chance that it's there just to arrest them like most of the time, so escalating things might be a pretty stupid idea in such a disadvantageous position. Like you said in a previous video "gangsters are scared to die".

Well that and the sidearm he was using actually has a select fire in it. He didn’t have the foldable grip on it that it usallu has on it so he uses his finger as a way to make sure the pistol stayed controllable
Can you guys do 13 hours???good breakdown as always
13 hours of propaganda
@@boygonewhoopdataZZ I want his tactical breakdown,its a good movie!!just that.
@@boygonewhoopdataZZ are you saying that movie is fucking propaganda
@@boygonewhoopdataZZ BS, child groomer
@@curtisdavis7164 It is.....
Always love learning something new with these videos. The vehicle interdiction and how different scenarios can play out was so interesting. Keep up the great work Buck!
I enjoyed the evolution of Benicio and Brolin's characters.
Well they play different characters that are slightly the same in the second movie.
The second movie isn't a sequel to the first
@@Doman3500 not sure where you got that.
They literally are the same characters.
@@Daddy53751 same characters but this is not a sequel l. The director stated it's basically a parallel universe
@@charliec9720 trippy,
But that’s actually a pretty interesting take. I would have never thought to play it that way.
You mean character development?
Let's go. Saw the first react this week, was really excited for the second one, glad you guys did it.
Buck is not letting go that water board scene from the first one or his distaste for Emily Blunt🤣🤣. Great review as always!
We need another Sicario movie, they are too awesome
We'll have it by 2026 hopefully.

I actually tried the finger bump Beretta 92, sometimes it will catch just right and cause a burst-full auto fire.
the point of the rapid bullet trigger is that it isn't meant to look professional but from a rival cartel. it's meant to look sloppy with random bullet impacts. cartels are known to go all out and be ruthless but also sloppy.
100% on the mono viz nods. Used to do a lot of night ops. One night, we're on patrol through some farmland. Come up to this huge stretch of just darkness. We had to cross it and even with nvgs, could make out any details to it's depth or anything. I'm first down, turns out it's an irrigation ditch.(I completely eat shit) It's 6-61/2 ft deep and I was completely covered in mud the rest of the night.
Great video, brother. I was hoping you would've shown the part where BD had the cartel guys driving up on his left side, on the road, and he pitched the grenade into the passenger side window, while being shot at. I thought that scene was priceless! Keep these videos coming, brother!
The side conversation about the word straw in spanish killed me! This channel literally has everything, it's the total package 🤣
oh man, yall skipped over my favorite part of the movie, the drone strike. where Mat is in the room with that pirate. he shows him a drone feed of his brother's house and pirate thought he was bluffing be hes like "no rules today sport, only orders" *picks up sat phone* "send it" Splash, over! then moves to the next feed for pirate's next brother.
You have a big family and sooner or later I'm going to kill someone you do care about.
So from what the director said is the 2nd movie is actually a different universe than the first movie, even though it uses the same main characters. I think he also said he wanted to continue the story from the 2nd movies story line
So it's like an MCU kind of thing?
Will 100% watch this after my workout
Edit: I'm back now time to enjoy🇺🇲
As you should
At 09:23, the criticized move is actually Benicio's character bracing out with his forefinger and holding down the trigger to allow recoil to drive the gun back and then the finger pressure to reset the trigger; kind of like a predecessor to the FRT on a pistol
Pistol bumpfire baby! It's an iconic Benicio camera shot, so they used it again... Sadly with blanks it's probably actually slower than just pulling the trigger 🤣 although it does work from the hip with just right posturing... although not reliably or accurate... But its the Benicio move, so it feels pretty awesome 🤫
Fucking someone with a half a brain around here, jesus. He’s bump firing! Once again, just cause you’re former mil doesn’t make you an expert in all things shooting/weapons
The point of the scene was to make it look sloppy like a gang shootout. That’s why he shot it like that
26:00 - 26:35 made me die laughing / the thought gots this man rock solid 🤣
11:50 really out here giving infantry knowledge I dig it
I took it as the US government is footing the bill through black budget, and he's utilizing a PMC to get what he needs to do the stuff. PMCs are more than just security, and ex-military/SF, but to work security in a lot of them you have to have that background. That's just how I took the dinner scene.
GI Issued Berettas are not pieces of shit. They have had hundreds of thousands of rounds ran through them . You know as well as I do,what we were issued had not been kept up to standard as far as cleaning and or changing out parts. Those Berettas were rode hard and put up wet. They still function pretty decent considering the insane amount of wear and tear that was on them.
Yeah I've got a Beretta and it's an excellent pistol but it's reputation is kinda ruined by soldiers because they were issued old worn out pistols and then go about preaching how shit they are, I've got a lot of respect for military personnel but more often than not they are not nearly as educated on arms as they think they are and as a result they give some things a bad name and others are put on a pedestal like all the vets I've met who claim AKs are some indestructible piece of slav magic and so forth.
@@taylorbennion3706 I agree 100%. I’m a Veteran of Eight Years,was in the ARMY MOS 12B / SAPPER. We trained with the platform and most were wore out but still functioned. As well, you would be surprised how much the Soldiers did not know and understand about firearm’s in general. That even goes for Police in the Civilian world. They only will trash something because they either heard a couple others say something and or do not know how to properly handle and operate the firearms in hand.
@@punisher3167 yup people have a tendency of regurgitating things they've heard without really knowing the why. I wonder what people will be saying about the new Sig down the line.
Thanks for the reply Have a good one man
A good tip for clearing under nods is to keep them angled up a bit to be able to see under them. Helps with light saturation. All you gotta do is look down enough to look through the tubes ;)
@FNGAcademy This movie isn't technically a sequel to the first film. It's kind of like an anthology. So it's the same characters in the same broader setting but with a different story. In other words, this film is a reset in the "Sicario universe": like the first film never happened. That may help remove the confusion about ROE differences between both films.
"benicio del toro is such a beast" then special waterboarding technique sound effects...noooo man! lol subbed
Please review the Devil wear Prada. 🙏. Nothing to do with being a Green Beret but it would be hillarious 🤣
😂😂😂😂
And she speaks in her hot British accent
i know they say that alejandro is dead and that it would be impossible, bu there was a story of a scout with the british empire, a local, on guadal canal who volunteered to scout for the first marine division. He was tied to a tree by a japanese patrol, bayoneted 3 times in the torso, and had his throat slashed before they left him for dead. he hobbled and crawled 3 miles to friendly lines, informed the CO of the incoming attack and survived the entire ordeal. saving thousands of marine lives. Sometimes real life is more unbeleivable then hollywood.
You know what Buck? I think you’re the shit for just being yourself on screen. Nothing against any other operator as a content creator but they’re so serious in their dialogue that you forget they’re just people. You just seem like some regular person and it convinces me that i can also be an operator while still being normal.
if you're bitching about shit like that i don't think being an 'operator' is for you anyway Lmao
Giggling...this feels like Mystery Science Theater 3k!
Love it!
We need a supercut of Buck's sound FX at this point 🤣
when you mocked the trigger pulling with your pistol i haven't laughed so hard in forever. that was comedy gold.
I had watch the first movie but not the second; after this review; I definitely will take a look at it.
I will highly recommend 2007 ELITE SQUAD. it is a Brazilian movie about Rio the Janeiro Police Special Operations Brigade or BOPE. a lot of police corruption scenes an urban combat in the fabellas. You will like this one
oh thats a badass movie the second one is good too in spanich its called tropa de elite
Keep in mind that sicario 2 isn't a sequel
Tropa de Elite was pretty brutal if i remember correctly. BOPE is no joke and favela fighting looks like an absolute Nightmare for all involved.
Thanks for your service and the laughs.
There's an interview with the writer of these two movies and even though it's called Sicario 2 it's actually a stand alone movie. The writer wrote two scripts for the first movie and the studio bought both. Nothing in the first movie matters in the second.
Bote from Queen of the South is one of my all time characters in a show. He is such a badass. Must watch for anyone that hasn't
"You're going to be up there with Jesus and being like what, what, was that noise" 😂
Buck does a good job explaining vehicle movements and interdiction and ambushes
Can you review the contractor? I think you’d appreciate the scenes where they actually slice the pie and check corners. Looks like they had good advisors working with them on room clears.
You may not enjoy their breakdown.....it sucks
@@Paul0580 yeah I watched their breakdown. The movie wasn't very good in my opinion but I thought the tactical portion was.
On next vid, if havent already, can go over how to deal with bugs? Like mosquitos, gnats, flies, and other insects while out on patrol, or camping out, or setting up new barracks? Does everyone have to carry bug spray, or is there some "natural way" to prevent the bugs from swarming you?
I will have to say, I thought Buck was going to rip apart the fact that the humvee’s were not up armored. They were normal. When I saw the movie. I laughed how the 240’s were being stopped by 1/4” glass.
i enjoy these guys review and thorough tear down of every scene then described thru there real first hand experiences plus these guys are super cool as well. i love it. u guys are the real legends
Completely agreed shooting under nods is awkward AF if not trained. We had the pvs7s at first then to pvs14 then 31s. Fell on my face trying to step up on a ladder with the 7s. 😂🤣
Great review boy's! 🏴🤘🏼
Yeah the single lense sucks but it's really good for going from light to dark. The double lense nvg makes you blind for a solid minute.
The 14s also fucking move all the time and adjusting them is a C U next Tuesday in a rapid change of environment.
In infantry OSUT, during our final FTX, I fell face first into one of our mortar pits, thinking the ground was level wearing pvs7.
@@rtm27 lmao what year you go through?
@@austinduncan5065 1993. We Were testing out a strap that went over your helmet which had a swivel and clasp that held your nods that you could swing it up out of your way.
I always love seeing the mountains of Texas near the southern border.
Consider adding the Substitute. Gotta love Tom Berringer!
Love it! Great breakdown of both Sicario movies guys. Really enjoyed your take on these iconic films. I especially liked how you pointed out the Hollywood vs reality shots. Quite an education for me.
If I remember correctly the director said that the two movies are in different universes
No this movie takes place before the first one
Yeah, they are in two different universes per the director of 2.
Sicario 2 is better than the first film. Just not having the annoying FBI agent was a major plus, but the plot, pacing, script, and action were better in part 2. I liked part 1, but I loved part 2.
You guys should react to end of watch
Loved your breakdown of these two movies. 2 of my favs. Awesome to hear your SF perspective breakdown. Bravo fellas!🍻
😂 You're gonna be up there talkin to Jesus like what was that noise. That was hilarious!
The first movie was about quietly manipulating the drug trade. This one is about dealing with a actual threat after a terrorist attack.
Hey Guys,
Just found your channel and really enjoy the different persepctive of these movies based on your experience.
I have a couple of suggestions for movies you might find interesting to review:
- Close (2019) with Noomi Rapace - I thought this was an interesting movie from the perspective of a female close protection specialist. Some of the scenarios seemed quite believable, considering a physically smaller / weaker woman acting as protection, but would be interested in your opinion.
- Wrath Of Man (2021) with Jason Statham - from the perspective of a criminal out for revenge for the death of his son. I would be interested in your view on the big shootout scene later in the movie.
Anyway, keep up the good work!
If you can find it, Kajaki (called Kilo Two Bravo in North America) is a good watch. True story of British Paras in 2004 Kajaki Dam Helmand get trapped in a minefield. By the time a US Blackhawk lifted them out 4 mines has exploded leaving 8 wounded.
Gotta give it up to the amazing writer that Taylor Sheridan is. The man has an insane track record and his show Yellowstone is insanely good!
Keep talking through scene it’s too much fun brother! AMAZING STUFF AM! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Not enough beers in this one fellas. Y'all need to tighten up.
they do make thermal sights that can see through dust in daylight. Granted in my day they were mounted on TANKS, but I am sure they have advanced thermal optics since the 90s.
But i don't get how they could work
Good review. Liked second better than the first.
In my experience, that bump fire method is specifically effective with a M9/92F. You can empty a 17 round mag in about a second. Hitting something is more subjective.
I’d love to see them breakdown hacksaw ridge and we were soldiers. Both movies directed by Mel Gibson. Those episodes of beers and breakdowns would be great. Another movie that would be great for them to do would be Fury with Brad Pitt.
I love these breakdowns! Keep them coming!
Learnt a lot from this video! Although I think they're missing the point that this isn't a direct sequel. It's more of an alternate timeline to the first film. So Brolin & his team aren't having all their resources taken away from them. Instead they are being brought down a different path to the first movie, with less direct government oversight
Bucks buzzed af me to love it it’s like being there with ya in a way.
Since he was a cop for two years you guys need to react to THE ROOKIE on ABC I know he would have some funny shit to say about that, or SWAT on CBS please
OH YES, especially because both of those shows don't use real weapons but airsoft guns
Remember that ending scene from the movie LIFE when that lady in the space pod was spinning out of control into space? This ending theme was in that movie too.
Is there a lot of Mexican/Mexican-Americans/Hispanics in the SF
They're are a few. During my time I would say it was probably around 15-18%
Every once in a while I see pairs of Blackhawks flying in the area between El Paso TX & Holloman AFB along US 54 in Alamogordo, NM. Always looking for a hyper-green Suburban in between them & a interdiction........ will keep on looking....
I got to play around with a set of white phosphorus quad tubes a few years back, absolutely loved them, they were an Air Force TAC-P’s who let me check them out. I’d sell a kidney for a set of my own.
I mean, I feel like the character in the restaurant is an “Erik Prince” - type character whom would, can and maybe does do things like this. So it doesn’t seem that far out of wack. But I’m just a dumb dude.
@ 3:10 It’s called a K-12
You guys should react to the 2018 movie 'operation red sea'. It's a foreign action movie depicting the true story of a Chinese special forces team that is sent into yemen to evacuate chinese citizens in 2015. It's probably the best foreign war film I have seen. Solid, relentless action and realistic shootouts. Its like a chinese black hawk down. You guys would love it.
Also, T-34 another foreign film about the eastern front of world war 2. Fury, Hacksaw Ridge, We were soldiers and the 2012 Dredd movie would also fit what you guys do on this channel. As a fellow army veteran, I would love to hear your thoughts on these films.
Both are great movies with one of the scariest darkest soundtracks ever!
I always assumed he did that stupid pistol trick to make it look less professional...like he as using a machine pistol instead of professional precision shooting...
I feel like tire nets would be a good method of vehicle interdiction, if you can set up a good ambush position.
Too much to clean up to sterilize the scene. Not all countries have those. Cartels don't, so It would alert that it wasn't a rival cartel, which was the mission.
I just like how Buck is talking about how annoying she is in sicario but knowing how badass she can be in Edge of Tomorrow
At 9:00. Omg. Buck thinking like Kate in the first movie. Thinking one dimensional and not outside the box.
i miss her, thats why part 2 is not as good as part 1
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Sicario 2 isn't a strict sequel per se, but more of a semi-remake.
Wasn’t as good as the first Sicario tho!!!
Jerry Miculek does that 2 handed pistol trick. He's been clocked at 600rds/min on a 1911 and he has another way with wheel guns where he fans the hammer beautifully with his left 5 fingers, so almost the same effect.
I'm actually feel saddened buck has the standard military opinion on the beretta 92 lol, like ik he is a standard military dude, so it makes sense, nothing wrong with that, but it's 2022, i, on god thought people had evolved out of that opinion by now when everyone after getting out realized that it's just because their 92s were beat to shit after 20 years of abuse and not because they're bad pistols, military didn't pick them for no reason, i don't think they're any better or worse than glocks or anything, just that glocks would also fail if subjected to the same abuse, and dudes will be saying the same shit about the sig pistols in 20 years too when they get beat to death and stop working lol. Let's say I've used all 3 i just listed a lot and as long as they've been well-taken care of, I've never had a problem with any of these brands tbh, but you can't beat the 92s looks and metal frame, that's for sure.
Commenting early because I've been waiting for you to react to this one, particularly wanted to get your opinion on the DA mission in Somalia.
Bidens and Clintons perhaps could help you find some….
I know someone who from eight years ago who was shot five times: three at the back, one at the back of the arm, and the fifth at the back of the head. He survived that. And he is still doing his day job just like before.
You talk about Kate in the first Sicario. After the tunnel breach, I was trying to frag her through the screen. I have never met a fellow LEO that irritating, dangerous to her team and clueless of how the world works. No way she could have been a fed in Phoenix. I lived in Phoenix and sometimes you have to get a little dirty when cartels are involved. It can be a literal war zone.
You should review Heat, particularly given your police background. And the Special Forces portions of Clear and Present Danger.
This vehicle introduction somehow reminded me of the scene in clear and present danger
The don't shoot, just be ready order was pretty logical to me. At that moment, they didn't even know what the exact intention of the chopper interception was, and there is a good chance that it's there just to arrest them like most of the time, so escalating things might be a pretty stupid idea in such a disadvantageous position. Like you said in a previous video "gangsters are scared to die".
