Right it’s like these idiots in charge never the see the sorrow and mourning the families of the victims go through. But the minute it happens to them, they don’t like it. It’s like bro what did you think you were doing?
I don't get these guys who always say that line: it wasn't personal!! Are you f..... Stupid? How on earth makes it better when you say that? They really think the other person has because of this suddenly a change of heart and will say: oh that of course changes everything, if it wasn't personal then I just go back and I forget everything what happened furthermore I'm so sorry I killed all your men it also wasn't personal.🤦🏾,, on the contrary it makes everything worse not better idiots.
Remember that the guy's daughter was killed by having her soak in an acid bath, while his wife was beheaded. This was an incredibly merciful kill comparatively.
The look on his face after he killed his wife and two son’s is priceless. Like probably most of the viewers, he thought Del Toro was gonna take the high road. He knew he would kill him but he thought he would spare his family, like protagonists typically do in revenge stories. But Del Toro didn’t care about proving he was better then him. He came for blood, an eye for an eye, not to be the good guy. What he does was totally unexpected. I remember being shocked when I first saw this. True unprecedented masterpiece in cinema
@@kp2ngthe wife I can get behind.. it was her choice to be with him... Now the kids? They didn't choose to have them as parents. Sure it's understandable is anger and pain but he's as evil as him. His wife and daughter would be disgusted by him.
You were seriously surprised? I saw that coming immediately, the man didn’t give a fuck about anyone but himself and making that man feel as much pain as he felt.
When he tells him to finish his meal, it’s almost as if he is challenging him for a brief second to live normally and do a everyday task, with so much loss and pain, having seen his family be murdered in front of him. A brief glimpse of what the shooter feels everyday having lost his daughter.
No I think it was a sarcastic reply to the druglord telling his kids a moment beforehand to keep eating their dinners, feigning control and calm in a situation where he for once is not in control.
I love the way the wife reacts when Benicio says don't forget my daughter. She lowers her head because she understands at that exact moment they are all dead.
@@lewisner nothing to lose? Why go out crying and begging to make your kids even more terrified than they already are. As soon as he mentioned how his wife and daughter were both murdered the wife fully understood her situation
@@lewisner it doesn’t matter if the maid reports it or not his goal was pure revenge. And I disagree with you on the though that the wife would beg regardless, if she knew 10% of what her husband does on a regular basis then she knows the type of men that want to slaughter her and her family. You don’t see some dude in full tactical gear pull up to you and your family at dinner and think “maybe he’ll let us live”
The wife’s acting this whole scene steals the show. So many inner thoughts you can hear outloud just through her acting alone especially when Alejandro brings up his daughter.
Huge value too! All that emotion, but she doesn't have any spoken lines. I'm not an industry pro, but I think that means they only had to pay her as a background actress. If she said one word they'd have to pay her a lot more.
She deserved it. Not the kids. How you gonna sit there at the dinner table knowing what your dirtbag husband does......but she was wearing nice things, living in a big house, eating good food.......all bought with blood money
The absolute shock on Alracon's face was great. He truly believed that no one could be that cold hearted and that he could use his family as bargaining chips to let them live. The expression was priceless. Everything around him shattered. He sat on a position of power for so long, he forget how brutal someone can be when they have nothing left to lose.
Also, having no witnesses and no sons to grow up and come after him was also a plus! Well, there was the woman in the kitchen, but once the cameras were off? Who knows? 🙂
@@Omrokone Weary = feeling or showing tiredness, especially as a result of excessive exertion or lack of sleep. Wary = feeling or showing caution about possible dangers or problems. Just felt like being nit-picking today, lol!
The actress does a great job when Benicio mentions his daughter. She knows the evil that her husband does and always feared it would come back to haunt them and in that moment with her shudder you can tell it’s her worst fear coming true. Great scene.
I mean….if she chose to stay with him knowing the evil he does and she chooses to keep her kids around that kind of evil….she’s not exactly a innocent angel or any less guilty just saying lol
By far the greatest revenge scene ever put to film. Not only does he finally kill the man who took his family away from him. But made him, at least for a moment, feel exactly what that pain is like.
@@Patriciern The wife most likely knew what her husband was, her whole life with that man would have been a facade and she would have practised feigning ignorance especially so once the children became a thing in her life. We can also assume she was expecting her husband to be killed at some point (being a crime boss in Mexico and all) and may even have hoped for it a few times in her life. She may have also dealt with stockholm syndrome, being with such a dangerous and powerful man... But that crying response at the table; she only starts whimpering once her husband says "not in front of the boys." It would have been a mix of thoughts and emotions, but none of which would have been the thought of her accepting the death of her own children. She's not a sicario, and she's not a soldier, she's a well-sheltered woman and she definitely wouldn't have thought she or her children deserved to be murdered because of her husband and his moral bankruptcy. She'd almost DEFINITELY go into a fight or flight response (just like most people would) if she genuinely thought she and her kids were about to die, rather than just her husband and all the support that came with him.
@@Patriciern and some Christians will still tell you it's impossible to be moral and atheist... when Biblical "morality" is about revenge killing innocent people.
The final moments of their lives were likely terrifying and confusing. I doubt their father told them what he did for a living, but even without context, it's clear that their father did something to this man, a man on whose mercy their continued survival depends. Something about which the man is clearly very angry.
For me, it was a face of extreme regret. He's thinking about all the decisions he made in this life, that led to this moment. His wife and kids dying in front of him. It's like none of it was worth whatever "lifestyle" he had as a cartel boss. But it's a realization he only processed for a few seconds before dying himself.
@@rabd3721 Man, that really reminds me of someone I know who got caught selling drugs. He said as soon as the police kicked in his door, the reality of all his decisions came crashing in at once. He had been living with a false sense of security, telling himself he had done all the necessary things to keep from getting caught...just like this character probably felt nobody could get to him in his big house with personal security watching over him.
Yeah that happened in Jurassic Park, the entire scene when Nedry switches off the fences, steals the embryo, and gets discovered, feels like ages but really is under 5 minutes. ua-cam.com/video/pyU5TnuJlfg/v-deo.html
One great detail of Alejandro's character is once he passes the maid and reaches the lawn, he pauses and checks his surroundings. Imagine being that hell bent on revenge, finally having it in view after God knows how long, and STILL having the ability to control your emotions and not make a mistake. I'm truly in awe of this film.
The man set his daughter on fire alive in front of him and put them into drums. What did he expect? Softness? There is no room for softness after that happens to a man. There is no room for kindness in that soul. At the end when it was a shot of just 2 broken men it makes sense. The end of a journey. The closing of a book, the vengeance of a defeated man. Shit is poetic.
At the beginning when he first sits down he states “ You have family’s killed every day, yet here you dine. Tonight should be no different.” Then in The end he’s state “ Go ahead and finish your meal.” Only this time the family he had killed tonight was his own. Brilliant.
When he first sits down, he drags the chair making an eerie sound like in a horror scene building tension for what's about to come. Every minute detail in this scene is brilliant!
Ye, most workers aren't paid enough to deal with that. You being paid that much and see someone geared up with a gun, just give a look sayin "I don't get paid enough bud, go bout your business, lips sealed."
The funny thing is when buddy leaves, the maid gonna be alone and there's probably a ton of cash at that house. Alejandro just made her rich and she thought it was just a normal day when she woke up.
I love how cocky the cartel guy is at first, believing that since this guy is a gov agent he's bound by rules. Then when he says "for me it is." The guy realizes no one sent him there, he's just there on his own, and reality sets in.
This is one of my favorite scenes of all time for multiple reasons: 1) Alejandro’s almost complete lack of emotion for its entirety 2) The mother sinking her head when he mentions his daughter because she knows they’re all dead 3) The slow realization by Alracon that Alejandro is here on his own, he wasn’t sent by anyone 4) “Time to meet God” 5) Killing the mom first so she doesn’t have to see the kids get whacked 6) The look of absolute horror on Alracon’s face right after his family gets killed 7) Not seeing, but hearing Alracon choke on his own blood
Great comment, and it reveals how carefully this incredible scene was constructed. Nothing, not a damn thing is played for cheap effect. Brutal editing. Very pleasing.
Hahahahahahahaha I said the exact same thing, I turned up my volume to hear the conversation, then when the three shots went off I had to look down to make sure I was alright hahaha
@@rephaelayasharahla1763 Actually, the volume of the shots in the scene shows the technical mastery of the sound design, and should have attention directed toward it. In real life, "silenced" shots are actually fairly loud, and the loudness of a silenced gun is realistically shown off in this scene. The actual conversation is quiet, and how loud the shots would be in comparison to the quiet conversation is shown quite realistically. 10/10 to whoever was in charge of sound. They knew their stuff when it comes to guns!
Most underated?? its literally impossible, this movie was a fucking HIT when it came out. Everyone loved and praised it. What the HELL are you talking about lol
Telling him to finish his meal after he kills his family was the ultimate slap in the face. A realization of how stupid his "it's not personal" line was first hand. When he did it to others it "wasn't personal" yet when it happens to him he's in absolute shock and couldn't care less about the meal...
How he let him sit there broken, seeing his family slaughtered was lovely to watch. The arrogance, power had all gone. He felt exactly how all of his victims felt.
This has got to be the coldest moment in cinematic history. It just captures the feeling of vengeance perfectly. No emotion on his face as he pays back blood money. And waits a few seconds to let what just happened sink in before ending it. Just jaw dropping
The fact that the maid didn't make a sound to warn the family just shows what kind of man Alracon was that she didn't say a word. One of the most intense scenes in any movie I've ever seen.
They speak English so the kids wouldn’t understand , cartel boss forgets to mention the daughter & realises this slowly. He then transitions to Spanish so the kids will understand hoping to capitalise on the hitmans connection with losing a child. However he responds back in Spanish so the kids are fully aware they’re on the chopping block. Great writing
The sound department did a phenomenal job. The shooting was so sudden it startled me and they made each shot sound final, impactful, as loud as if they weren't silenced.
One small detail that bugs me is they played the knife and fork hitting the plate sound to much. Made it sound like someone is chowing down while you see the kids barley touch the plates with their fork.
@@analtubegut66 This 100%. For anyone who has never been around a firearm with a suppressor and only know what movies make you believe, I can say it's far louder than you would assume.
I love how they even added the casings hitting the floor and bouncing around. A small detail most action films miss but adds to the intensity of the scene.
I like how the boss guy still speaks from a position of power. It shows an arrogance that you would come to expect from someone who has been on top for so long. The whole eat your dinner to his kids as if he’s got it all under control. Then he starts realising that he has no control, an then starts using his own kids to buy more time. Not realising that he means to kill his family also. Then benicio muttering to him to finish his meal was class.
Yeah, what you're doing there is the fallacy called "appeal to ignorance". As in "there's no way to know so what I say is true". Or in this case, "my truth is as true as yours". Come on man, tThe guy never looks around and netiher does the sicario. It makes much more sense to assume that all the security is already dead.
Oh absolutely and big props to the actress, not so much as a word of dialogue, but you can practically see her realise what's coming and that there is nothing she can do.
The exact moment when he goes from prideful trying to be fearless to after this family is killed in from of him is a good scene. He was shown how ruthless someone can be
For me, it's one of the scariest scenes put in a movie because it really drives home the definition of a man who comes to your house to show that he has NOTHING to lose. In the TV show "The X-files" an alien shapeshifter was summoned by the Smoking Man. Agent Mulder's mother was dying and the Smoking Man told the shapeshifter to save her. He wasn't happy about this and demanded to know why. The Smoking Man was quick and painfully clear: "The fiercest enemy is the one with nothing to lose." I remembered those words when Alejandro confronted the boss. Spoiler: don't go further if you haven't seen the episodes Talitha Cumi and Die Herrenvolk. PS: the shapeshifter saved Mulder's mother in the end.
I like how he knew that simply killing him wouldn’t be enough. He was going to make sure that he felt the same level of sadness, hopelessness, helplessness and shock that he felt when he realized that his family had been taken from him and there was nothing he could do to bring them back or protect them. Excellent scene in an excellent film.
@@DiddyCanFly I love how he took his time to let him experience that his children and his wife were eliminated. It's a shame that he didn't take his time with the rest of the family as well. Hearing the father beg for mercy for his children would have been super-humiliating to him, but it's already great so no complains. I'd absolutely love for all this cartel types to experience this. They do deserve this.
the way you could hear the boss gurgling, choking on his blood, a little gasp - he died painfully, full of horror, shock, sadness and regret, all rolled into one! damn... Absolute master class on revenge.
Him, like all the narcos should die in painful way, and just before to pass away, the death of all and each of their beloved. When I write that I do hope that happen soon and in the while I look forward that someone them, maybe decide to comment my words, I imagine what this Latinos could say or threatening
I hated it tbh, Benicio's character didn't do enough to call this a "masterclass on revenge". His wife and daughter were killed so much more brutally and to think he gave them such a decent death, it didn't feel justified to me. It's almost like he half-assed it. Revenge is much different.
That last thing Alex wanted him to see was his family die before his eyes. And then he goes, eternally with the last thing he witnessed was his family dying in front of him.
AbbaZabbaOlyFrn He deserved it, but the innocent children did not. It’s not their fault their Dad is a total POS. The Mom I’m on the fence about. She knew what that POS was doing and stood by him, the kids have no choice though. Essentially, Alejandro turned into the guy he killed by killing his children. Now he has to die knowing he is no better then Fausto and that Fausto turned him that way (by killing his daughter). Really his daughter died in vain now.
I like how when Alejandro finally shoots the cartel boss, it looks like it happens as an almost involuntary reflex. It seems like he actually wanted to let the guy stew in his horror a moment or two longer just to twist the knife a bit more, but his hate is so powerful that it boils over and his body acts on instinct before his brain can tell him otherwise. An absolutely bone-chilling scene.
Thisovie was so dark and realistic i dont know about real situations in mexico but the way thses movie put was so realistic that you were actually there,but i dont understand sicario 2
I love the detail in him spitting in the house right before stepping outside . His hate and contempt is in every detail of the character and performance . Dennis V. Is gonna go down as one of the goats with this track record .
That one act alone tells me Alejandro is hellbent on finishing his mission and he's either going to succeed or die trying. Such a quick foreshadowing but brilliant.
The fact that he waited a couple of seconds after he killed his family before killing him as well. He wanted him to feel like one of the victims of all the families he had murdered. Then he asked him to finish his meal, which is another way of saying "go ahead, try to be normal after that". Giving him a real dose of what he was doing to those victims. And the look on his face: Complete Shock. Finally got a taste of his own medicine. Had he gotten it before, he maybe wouldn't have been such a bad man. But a lot of arrogant men never realize how bad something is until they themselves go through it. That's what Del Toro's character wanted. He wanted to give him the perspective that all arrogant men must learn. He didn't want to kill him without it.
And he made sure he died feeling that, before he was capable of turning shock into rage and try to make a move. He didn't want him to feel vengeful or righteous enough to want to make a move, he wanted him to feel only helpless. His last moments locked into that feeling of shock and horror. Kind of like tormenting his soul to feel that way for all of time. His only mercy was that he killed the family soo quickly they didn't have time to suffer. That was the only mercy he could offer.
@@peoplez129 Another mercy. Asking if the boys spoke English, receiving a negative answer. And then saying "Okay, I will speak English ". So the kids didn't have to hear their father's crimes outlined. The mother obviously understood English . You make a good point about "shock turning into rage", very perceptive observation, thanks for that! Alejandro chose the perfect moment...."here's how helpless you are, experience what others have suffered, because of you." No need to wait , kill this man before he reverts to rage.
The moment the wife hears the mention of the daughter, she knows this isn't a mission to arrest or just kill the boss. It's revenge and her life is over too by association.
…that’s not foreshadowing. When someone says “I’m gonna kill you”, that’s already a statement. He’s literally saying that he’s gonna kill him and his family. There’s no hidden meaning behind to those words. Maybe learn the definition of foreshadowing next time.
@@tempestshadow5152 Yes it is, because as far as the audience knows, he's only there to kill Alcaron and the whole scene is shot in such a way to lead the audience into thinking he's going to do just that (e.g. not killing the maid, Alcaron pleading "not in front of my boys", etc.). That one piece of dialogue clues onto his real intentions: he's gonna kill not just him, but his family as well (and make him eat his food afterward - or give him an opportunity at least). The foreshadowing is for the audience and judging by the comments to how shocking 3:45 is, this framing was absolutely the intent. And by the way, you're gonna get on my case for using "foreshadowing" wrong (which I didn't) but lmao you used "literally" wrong because at no point does he outright say "I'm going to kill you." Grab a dictionary you clown.
Can we all appreciate the fact that this movie finally acknowledged that the line "It wasn't personal; it was just business" is actually a TERRIBLE thing to say to him?? It's like he was saying, "Your family meant NOTHING to us!! They were just a box that we checked off!!"
Yes, a great way of showing the cynicism that goes through a killers head and how he rationalizes his victims murder. He really thought maybe there was a chance in hell by sharing that "it wasn't personal" the guy was going to forgive him and move on. He was still guilty of those murders even though he himself had already forgiven himself for it, he did not have to deal with the pain and anguish his victims father felt until it was thrown back at him.
This is a perfect scene. You don't have to watch any of the rest of this movie and you'd still understand everything that's happening and feel the weight of it.
I saw this scene in my recommended videos, watched and watched the movie only because it (to get context). I wish I wasn't spoiled by it but I wouldn't have known about the movie otherwise. What a trip.
The way the boss goes from "I'm completely in control of the situation and by the time I'm done with this negotiation he would spare my kids and walk away" to shrinking away in fear and pure dread knowing that retribution is here.
I love how he asks if his children speak English to give the impression he’s trying to protect them from what they could hear. He knew full well he was going to kill them the moment he saw them all dining there.
nope. he meant to let the children live. but the boss just push some nerve to say that killing a child wasn't personal. so he kill the wife and kids too. because as the bosses said it wasn't personal.
@@travisstryder216 naw he definitely knew he was killing them …this is a personal revenge type of situation. He wanted that boss to hurt and feel the exact pain he cause everyone else. He even says “all the families you murdered, why should tonight be any different”. They were dead the moment he made it to the table.
@@brandonbrown6356 nope. he stay conversation in English. but the bosses who change to speak in Spanish. which indicates that he already warn his children to take revenge if anything happens to him. but speaking in that tongue has make his children and wife the next to die.
@@travisstryder216 that doesn’t make any sense…. How did you get that him speaking in Spanish to his kids means he is telling them to get revenge for his death? That doesn’t make sense at all. Also how are you getting he tried to convince his kids he did nothing wrong just cause he said it wasn’t personal. He was murdering families for his own gain and admitted to it. It’s just about a guaranteed that his kids have seen him commit some of these murders as well. They know what there father is just as much as the wife knows. He didn’t come there to put a stop to drug lord. He was there to avenge his family and make him feel the same pain he felt when his family was taken from him. Did you even watch the movie?
I love how he follows through on the man's request not to be killed in front of his sons. The technicality ployed is typical of a lawyer using loopholes to execute a request (Alejandro is a prosecutor by trade)
I think we're not meant to know much of how cold Alexandro really is until this scene. I was thinking for half a minute he'd actually murder his family and leave him alive so he may suffer the same way Alexandro did. The Sicario sequel is in the works and will focus mainly on Alexandro - very excited to see it. Benicio is the shit.
@@inthemoment8410 I think he didn't believe he had the balls to shoot up his family. He was ok with dying, but when his family is dead the look on his face really shows he did not expect that. That's when you have a man with nothing to lose. He just wanted revenge, a 1 for 1 trade, and he got it. He felt the pain the shooter felt for the last few seconds of his life... and he let him feel it for a few seconds before finishing it.
@Caleb Dismuke Hypocritical? His familiy is dead, his morals went out of the window with his family being slaughtered, you think he would care about being hypocritical or being the better man? Lmao XD
He thought he could talk his way out, then after realizing his fate was sealed he tried to have his family spared. Only to see what monster he created and to lose his family right in front of his eyes, left completely horrified by what just happened. In his last seconds he knew what all his victims felt like, what went through their minds after he was done with them Props to everyone in this movie, the acting was spectacular
The stunned fear in the eyes of the Cartel boss was incredible acting. He really looked like a man who just saw his family get wiped out in a matter of seconds knowing he's next. Excellent job.
One of the darkest scenes I have ever witnessed on a film. Villeneuve and the actors, especially Del Toro and Cedillo, nail the tension, shock, and horror all into one tightly packed scene. Sicario is an absolute masterpiece.
A man can not withhold such pain on his own. Vengeance is something very evil. 😔.. you can only do so much. I cry myself to sleep every day. I have resentment. But I pray to Him. I plea to God to help me forget. I can't😞.. all I can do is live and forgive. I sometimes ask in my prayers: "Why?? Why can not you just forget 😪??). I can't.
The most powerful moment in the whole scene to me. She knows her husband is a dangerous man. She knows she and her kids in mortal danger. But the moment Alejandro says that, she knows. She knows he isn't here to arrest her husband. She knows it's not a simple hit. In that moment, she knows just how much harm her husband has done to the man now holding her family and gunpoint and she KNOWS his only motivation is to cause them harm. She's probably had nightmares about this possibility, spent years of her life looking over her shoulder knowing payback could come at any moment. But right then and there, she knows it's all over. Her husband killed this mans daughter.
him relaxing in the chair taking a sigh of relief and speaking so calmly in english in a moment it was clearly no longer needed with a call back line signifying that the only kindness he was gunna show those boys was giving them the thought of not knowing is just perfect.
The way that the wide shot with the boss's family dead around him as Alejandro sits at the other end of the table is amazing. I feel like throughout this scene Alejandro is portrayed to be alone at his end of the table with the chairs tucked in, where his family would be, while the boss sits with his family. But by the end the boss's family are all dead on the floor and really hits home the idea of the amount of pain of being alone with your entire family murdered.
Love how he starts with "and yet you dine" line and ends with him telling him to continue eating. Really hits home and gives him those last few precious seconds for it to hopefully sink in.
I love how loud the gunshots are. It is a proper suppressor sound and not a muffled pew pew that people in the next room can't hear. The clinks of the casings hitting the ground were also a nice touch.
“It wasn’t personal.” is kinda the worst thing to say to a family man who’s lost said family. But stand up guy that he was still didn’t shoot the dude in front of his family.
In an sadistic way, he killed them in a noble order. Killed mom first so she wouldn't see her own children killed and killed the kids before that can realize their mother was killed. Plus he honored his wish by not killing him in front of his boys
He did it so quick I don't think either had time to even think about grieving. That was kinda of a merciful way of doing it and not prolonged like the jerk father. In the bible days evil men like that had their whole families killed so that their evil would not continue through the next generation.
@@Bl913 Excuse me but those children look like a teenager and either an early adolescent or a child. Our justice system doesn’t even allow them to be placed in prison.
I use to work in a movie theater as a food runner for Movie Tavern. And when this movie was out when I was working, I literally walked into the scene and jaw dropped. The whole theatre was dead silent I hearly dropped someone's food.. This was one of the best scenes I've worked for alongside the bus scene from Straight Out of Compton
I wouldn’t say revenge, but he wanted him to feel the exact pain of when he took everything from him. I think what makes this so much more darker is that he let him live for a little longer just so he could be overwhelmed of what it feels like when everyone you hold most dear has been stripped from you.
No one shoots two children and a mother and feels relief lol I agree with Pernell, it felt more like he was accepting what he had just done in order to finish what he had come there to do.
@@B20C0 uhh I guess not, but the character was a victim before he was a killer, and from what I remember the movie did not show him doing anything relatively close to what he had just done. Plus, he had a wife and children of his own, so with that context Im assuming that his expression was a sign of acceptance.
NOTHING was like seeing Sicario for the first time, without having seen this scene, because I was there in the cinema on October of 2015, when the film came out. Masterful lighting by Deakins and staging, directing by Villenueve, it's the masterpiece you can never replicate. I'm feeling homesick and nostalgic towards 2015...
When Alarcon got worried and said "Not in front of my boys", he had NO IDEA Alejandro's level of cruelty was going to be WAAAY higher than what he expected and he was Already scared. It was twisted, unique and fully emotional at the expense of Alarcon's absolute horror. Even to the last dialog, "go ahead and finish your meal" giving him the empty sense that everything will be ok just like Alarcon said to his children, he put him in absolute terror, broke him and made soak it All in while shrinking him smaller and smaller before Alejandro capped him. That's what made this type of revenge so fulfilling to Alejandro, even if for that moment, Yet it still wasn't enough and never will be. What Alarcon did to Alejandro is irreparable.
After watching this clip a few times. Those were all head shots to the wife and kids. It sounded like he shot him in the throat and let him suffer a while.
The fact that he talks hard at first and tells him it wasnt personal... then the whole environment changes when he lets him know it was personal for him.... try to live your life normal after what i just did to your family.... no man can. Epic
This scene and the prior scenes of Alex getting to the house were so well done. I don’t know if its the music, the pacing, the sound mixing or just all that together but watching this part of the movie was so satisfying.
@Adrian Shephard Subsonic ammunition with a quality suppressor (NOT A SILENCER) lacks the sonic crack and muffles much of the expanding gas sound. However there is still the mechanical action of the extraction, ejection, some expanding gas that comes out of the chamber as it unlocks. Plus the sound of the bullet impact and the body falling. Hollywood 'silencer' sounds have always been hollywood fiction. And will remain around because audiences have been conditioned for it. Just like the telephone ring sound in movies was not the sound telephones made even back when they still had physical bells. ua-cam.com/video/AxXsIQDafog/v-deo.html
When the narco mentions his wife, and right before Benicio's character answers back "don't forget about my daughter", Del Toro nodds his head for a brief second in such a sutil way, it tells you the actor is completely inmerse in the scene. Masterful, bravo!!!
The theatre I originally saw this in had the sound balanced to perfection. Virtually whisper-quite scene, tension you could cut with a knife, edge of your seat kind of stuff. The moment the gunshots went off, I leapt a good inch off my chair from having all that tension cut through at once.
When he shot Alracon's family my jaw hit the floor. Just the sheer cold bloodedness of the act itself. This was a man driven way over the edge. Great movie.
@@ramon4184I probably would have done worse. I think it’s western ethics that seem to be against eye for an eye. In the East, that revenge would be very generous.
"It wasn't personal."
Bro that's like... the worst thing you could've said in that situation.
Right it’s like these idiots in charge never the see the sorrow and mourning the families of the victims go through. But the minute it happens to them, they don’t like it. It’s like bro what did you think you were doing?
That’s like another way of saying go fuck ya self🤷🏽♂️
Seemed pretty personal to me 🔫💀☠️☠️☠️
I don't get these guys who always say that line: it wasn't personal!!
Are you f..... Stupid? How on earth makes it better when you say that? They really think the other person has because of this suddenly a change of heart and will say: oh that of course changes everything, if it wasn't personal then I just go back and I forget everything what happened furthermore I'm so sorry I killed all your men it also wasn't personal.🤦🏾,, on the contrary it makes everything worse not better idiots.
I know right how you going to kill someone's wife and daughter and expect them to not take it personal
Remember that the guy's daughter was killed by having her soak in an acid bath, while his wife was beheaded. This was an incredibly merciful kill comparatively.

I mean his wish came true. He didn't kill him in front of his boys.
The look on his face after he killed his wife and two son’s is priceless. Like probably most of the viewers, he thought Del Toro was gonna take the high road. He knew he would kill him but he thought he would spare his family, like protagonists typically do in revenge stories. But Del Toro didn’t care about proving he was better then him. He came for blood, an eye for an eye, not to be the good guy. What he does was totally unexpected. I remember being shocked when I first saw this. True unprecedented masterpiece in cinema

Huge value too! All that emotion, but she doesn't have any spoken lines. I'm not an industry pro, but I think that means they only had to pay her as a background actress. If she said one word they'd have to pay her a lot more.
She deserved it. Not the kids. How you gonna sit there at the dinner table knowing what your dirtbag husband does......but she was wearing nice things, living in a big house, eating good food.......all bought with blood money
Yeah
As soon as she hears that she knows that they're all dead
The absolute shock on Alracon's face was great. He truly believed that no one could be that cold hearted and that he could use his family as bargaining chips to let them live. The expression was priceless. Everything around him shattered. He sat on a position of power for so long, he forget how brutal someone can be when they have nothing left to lose.
Also, having no witnesses and no sons to grow up and come after him was also a plus! Well, there was the woman in the kitchen, but once the cameras were off? Who knows? 🙂

the wife knew she wasnt leaving that table
I read that more like, she knew at that point her sons wasn't gonna make it either. A wife for a wife. And children for a child. Truly Biblical.
@@Patriciern agreed much better read
@@Patriciern The wife most likely knew what her husband was, her whole life with that man would have been a facade and she would have practised feigning ignorance especially so once the children became a thing in her life.
We can also assume she was expecting her husband to be killed at some point (being a crime boss in Mexico and all) and may even have hoped for it a few times in her life. She may have also dealt with stockholm syndrome, being with such a dangerous and powerful man...
But that crying response at the table; she only starts whimpering once her husband says "not in front of the boys." It would have been a mix of thoughts and emotions, but none of which would have been the thought of her accepting the death of her own children. She's not a sicario, and she's not a soldier, she's a well-sheltered woman and she definitely wouldn't have thought she or her children deserved to be murdered because of her husband and his moral bankruptcy. She'd almost DEFINITELY go into a fight or flight response (just like most people would) if she genuinely thought she and her kids were about to die, rather than just her husband and all the support that came with him.
She knew her life or her son's life were already lost.
@@Patriciern and some Christians will still tell you it's impossible to be moral and atheist... when Biblical "morality" is about revenge killing innocent people.
I just realized that his kids heard "Your little girl... It wasn't personal" and "To me, it is". Their reaction says it all.
They realized they cooked
@@ngprenteefr
The final moments of their lives were likely terrifying and confusing.
I doubt their father told them what he did for a living, but even without context, it's clear that their father did something to this man, a man on whose mercy their continued survival depends. Something about which the man is clearly very angry.
same. after all the times ive seen this scene.
The reaction to his family getting killed is legit some of the best non-verbal acting ever. He looks so genuinely shocked and horrified.
💯 the actor did a phenomenal job.
It was the Reaper come to collect that horrified him.
Amazing acting
For me, it was a face of extreme regret. He's thinking about all the decisions he made in this life, that led to this moment. His wife and kids dying in front of him. It's like none of it was worth whatever "lifestyle" he had as a cartel boss. But it's a realization he only processed for a few seconds before dying himself.
@@rabd3721 Man, that really reminds me of someone I know who got caught selling drugs. He said as soon as the police kicked in his door, the reality of all his decisions came crashing in at once. He had been living with a false sense of security, telling himself he had done all the necessary things to keep from getting caught...just like this character probably felt nobody could get to him in his big house with personal security watching over him.

When he says " Dont forget about my daughter" you can tell the lady knows he will kill them all!
Yet he didn't give her too much screen time, this scene is so perfect.
At least she didn't get to see her boys killed. A bit of mercy
And he didn't kill Alarcón in front of his boys (more or less), and Alarcón got to finish his meal! Alejandro is a softy.
Mr. Lessons i think she knows when he says "today shall be no different"
I think she knew she would already die but when he said and my daughter she realized her boys would die too
One great detail of Alejandro's character is once he passes the maid and reaches the lawn, he pauses and checks his surroundings. Imagine being that hell bent on revenge, finally having it in view after God knows how long, and STILL having the ability to control your emotions and not make a mistake. I'm truly in awe of this film.
"Not in front of my boys."
*Kills them first*
Cold blooded.
I mean, technically he complied with the drug lords wish, so...
He did that so it would it hurt him even more before his death!
He killed the Wife first,then the sons
The man set his daughter on fire alive in front of him and put them into drums. What did he expect? Softness? There is no room for softness after that happens to a man. There is no room for kindness in that soul. At the end when it was a shot of just 2 broken men it makes sense. The end of a journey. The closing of a book, the vengeance of a defeated man. Shit is poetic.

3) The slow realization by Alracon that Alejandro is here on his own, he wasn’t sent by anyone
4) “Time to meet God”
5) Killing the mom first so she doesn’t have to see the kids get whacked
6) The look of absolute horror on Alracon’s face right after his family gets killed

The sound department did a phenomenal job. The shooting was so sudden it startled me and they made each shot sound final, impactful, as loud as if they weren't silenced.
One small detail that bugs me is they played the knife and fork hitting the plate sound to much. Made it sound like someone is chowing down while you see the kids barley touch the plates with their fork.

Come on man, tThe guy never looks around and netiher does the sicario. It makes much more sense to assume that all the security is already dead.
To quote a classic: "He was trying to buy more sand for his hourglass. I wasn't selling any."

"Dont forget about my daughter"
Wife knew they were dead right there.
Oh absolutely and big props to the actress, not so much as a word of dialogue, but you can practically see her realise what's coming and that there is nothing she can do.
The exact moment when he goes from prideful trying to be fearless to after this family is killed in from of him is a good scene. He was shown how ruthless someone can be
For me, it's one of the scariest scenes put in a movie because it really drives home the definition of a man who comes to your house to show that he has NOTHING to lose. In the TV show "The X-files" an alien shapeshifter was summoned by the Smoking Man. Agent Mulder's mother was dying and the Smoking Man told the shapeshifter to save her. He wasn't happy about this and demanded to know why. The Smoking Man was quick and painfully clear: "The fiercest enemy is the one with nothing to lose." I remembered those words when Alejandro confronted the boss.
Spoiler: don't go further if you haven't seen the episodes Talitha Cumi and Die Herrenvolk.
PS: the shapeshifter saved Mulder's mother in the end.
I like how he knew that simply killing him wouldn’t be enough. He was going to make sure that he felt the same level of sadness, hopelessness, helplessness and shock that he felt when he realized that his family had been taken from him and there was nothing he could do to bring them back or protect them. Excellent scene in an excellent film.
@@DiddyCanFly I love how he took his time to let him experience that his children and his wife were eliminated. It's a shame that he didn't take his time with the rest of the family as well.

I'd absolutely love for all this cartel types to experience this. They do deserve this.
@largol33t1 it not from a man that has nothing to lose, it's a man that wants vengeance.

the way you could hear the boss gurgling, choking on his blood, a little gasp - he died painfully, full of horror, shock, sadness and regret, all rolled into one! damn...
Absolute master class on revenge.

When I write that I do hope that happen soon and in the while I look forward that someone them, maybe decide to comment my words, I imagine what this Latinos could say or threatening

I hated it tbh, Benicio's character didn't do enough to call this a "masterclass on revenge". His wife and daughter were killed so much more brutally and to think he gave them such a decent death, it didn't feel justified to me. It's almost like he half-assed it. Revenge is much different.
That last thing Alex wanted him to see was his family die before his eyes. And then he goes, eternally with the last thing he witnessed was his family dying in front of him.
Sounds like he shot the guy in the throat as well...then shot him in the head a few seconds after...
He deserves it, guy is pure evil. Who knows how many families he has ordered to be brutally executed during his life
AbbaZabbaOlyFrn He deserved it, but the innocent children did not. It’s not their fault their Dad is a total POS. The Mom I’m on the fence about. She knew what that POS was doing and stood by him, the kids have no choice though. Essentially, Alejandro turned into the guy he killed by killing his children. Now he has to die knowing he is no better then Fausto and that Fausto turned him that way (by killing his daughter). Really his daughter died in vain now.
Suhaib Arifuddin no chance of revenge when the kids grow up, and obviously leave no witnesses exception of the maid

I like how when Alejandro finally shoots the cartel boss, it looks like it happens as an almost involuntary reflex. It seems like he actually wanted to let the guy stew in his horror a moment or two longer just to twist the knife a bit more, but his hate is so powerful that it boils over and his body acts on instinct before his brain can tell him otherwise. An absolutely bone-chilling scene.
Perfectly said
Love your comment. This scene is gnarly but great.
Thisovie was so dark and realistic i dont know about real situations in mexico but the way thses movie put was so realistic that you were actually there,but i dont understand sicario 2
Actually I think when he tells him to eat his meal he realises he broke the man , there nothing more to let stew so he , kills him then
Exactly what I was thinking. Twisting the knife as they would say but you are right. Amazingly shot
One of the best films ever made and written. Del Toro is epic in this.

I didn't notice that until you mentioned it
@@ЯСмерть-ф5п I understood that reference !
And him not shooting the maid
That one act alone tells me Alejandro is hellbent on finishing his mission and he's either going to succeed or die trying. Such a quick foreshadowing but brilliant.
The fact that he waited a couple of seconds after he killed his family before killing him as well. He wanted him to feel like one of the victims of all the families he had murdered. Then he asked him to finish his meal, which is another way of saying "go ahead, try to be normal after that". Giving him a real dose of what he was doing to those victims. And the look on his face: Complete Shock. Finally got a taste of his own medicine. Had he gotten it before, he maybe wouldn't have been such a bad man. But a lot of arrogant men never realize how bad something is until they themselves go through it. That's what Del Toro's character wanted. He wanted to give him the perspective that all arrogant men must learn. He didn't want to kill him without it.
And he made sure he died feeling that, before he was capable of turning shock into rage and try to make a move. He didn't want him to feel vengeful or righteous enough to want to make a move, he wanted him to feel only helpless. His last moments locked into that feeling of shock and horror. Kind of like tormenting his soul to feel that way for all of time. His only mercy was that he killed the family soo quickly they didn't have time to suffer. That was the only mercy he could offer.
Should have more likes but we have many aggroant men that assume it won't happen to them.
@@peoplez129 Another mercy. Asking if the boys spoke English, receiving a negative answer. And then saying "Okay, I will speak English ". So the kids didn't have to hear their father's crimes outlined. The mother obviously understood English .
You make a good point about "shock turning into rage", very perceptive observation, thanks for that! Alejandro chose the perfect moment...."here's how helpless you are, experience what others have suffered, because of you." No need to wait , kill this man before he reverts to rage.
The moment the wife hears the mention of the daughter, she knows this isn't a mission to arrest or just kill the boss. It's revenge and her life is over too by association.
“Every night you have families killed and yet here you dine. Tonight should be no different.”
Goddamn the foreshadowing is incredible.
…that’s not foreshadowing. When someone says “I’m gonna kill you”, that’s already a statement. He’s literally saying that he’s gonna kill him and his family. There’s no hidden meaning behind to those words. Maybe learn the definition of foreshadowing next time.
@@tempestshadow5152 Yes it is, because as far as the audience knows, he's only there to kill Alcaron and the whole scene is shot in such a way to lead the audience into thinking he's going to do just that (e.g. not killing the maid, Alcaron pleading "not in front of my boys", etc.). That one piece of dialogue clues onto his real intentions: he's gonna kill not just him, but his family as well (and make him eat his food afterward - or give him an opportunity at least). The foreshadowing is for the audience and judging by the comments to how shocking 3:45 is, this framing was absolutely the intent.
And by the way, you're gonna get on my case for using "foreshadowing" wrong (which I didn't) but lmao you used "literally" wrong because at no point does he outright say "I'm going to kill you." Grab a dictionary you clown.
Can we all appreciate the fact that this movie finally acknowledged that the line "It wasn't personal; it was just business" is actually a TERRIBLE thing to say to him?? It's like he was saying, "Your family meant NOTHING to us!! They were just a box that we checked off!!"
Yes, a great way of showing the cynicism that goes through a killers head and how he rationalizes his victims murder. He really thought maybe there was a chance in hell by sharing that "it wasn't personal" the guy was going to forgive him and move on. He was still guilty of those murders even though he himself had already forgiven himself for it, he did not have to deal with the pain and anguish his victims father felt until it was thrown back at him.
Patrice Saint-Claire from "Taken" would like to know your location.
The most savage fucking scene in any movie I have every watched. Sicario was insane
@@User-zl9pj yeah haha this movie was ok at best
@@User-zl9pj like which ones?.
@@princeofxane watch what happens to the girl who gets imprisoned in the original Martyrs.
Cortez getting killed in Queen of the South by George is more savage then this.
Unfortunately it's only a normal Tuesday in Mexico.
This is a perfect scene. You don't have to watch any of the rest of this movie and you'd still understand everything that's happening and feel the weight of it.
I saw this scene in my recommended videos, watched and watched the movie only because it (to get context). I wish I wasn't spoiled by it but I wouldn't have known about the movie otherwise. What a trip.
Well said
Yep I watched this scene before the film. You can feel the weight of the scene
It’s a good scene but you’re really ruining the movie if you watch it first.
The way the boss goes from "I'm completely in control of the situation and by the time I'm done with this negotiation he would spare my kids and walk away" to shrinking away in fear and pure dread knowing that retribution is here.
I think he was more contempt with his own fate but completely unprepared for the unexpected fate of his family.
I love how he asks if his children speak English to give the impression he’s trying to protect them from what they could hear. He knew full well he was going to kill them the moment he saw them all dining there.
nope. he meant to let the children live. but the boss just push some nerve to say that killing a child wasn't personal. so he kill the wife and kids too. because as the bosses said it wasn't personal.
@@travisstryder216 naw he definitely knew he was killing them …this is a personal revenge type of situation. He wanted that boss to hurt and feel the exact pain he cause everyone else. He even says “all the families you murdered, why should tonight be any different”. They were dead the moment he made it to the table.
@@brandonbrown6356 nope. he stay conversation in English. but the bosses who change to speak in Spanish. which indicates that he already warn his children to take revenge if anything happens to him. but speaking in that tongue has make his children and wife the next to die.
as he quoted "its not personal' like telling his kids he done nothing wrong. so if the kids survive they could take revenge on his behalf.
@@travisstryder216 that doesn’t make any sense…. How did you get that him speaking in Spanish to his kids means he is telling them to get revenge for his death? That doesn’t make sense at all. Also how are you getting he tried to convince his kids he did nothing wrong just cause he said it wasn’t personal. He was murdering families for his own gain and admitted to it. It’s just about a guaranteed that his kids have seen him commit some of these murders as well. They know what there father is just as much as the wife knows. He didn’t come there to put a stop to drug lord. He was there to avenge his family and make him feel the same pain he felt when his family was taken from him. Did you even watch the movie?
Benecio del toro was so fucking good in the film
Spider Jerusalem no shit,he's the best
Spider, he deserved an Oscar. Many critics thought so, however he was overlooked by the academy.
He's Always outstanding, even in less known films such as 'The Hunted' .....
@@raymuniz113 Yep ... but thankfully, he already has one
He’s great in everything
I love how he follows through on the man's request not to be killed in front of his sons. The technicality ployed is typical of a lawyer using loopholes to execute a request (Alejandro is a prosecutor by trade)
I think it could be. It would be amazing if it is. Its plausible and up for interpretation.
@@roslindale It seems like you are not inherently comprehensive in literature
Nice observation dawg
Get the fuck out of here. Just enjoy it. Why try to write an essay on it ?
@@roslindale It is
Let him absorb the pain of the loss before ending him. 🥶
I think we're not meant to know much of how cold Alexandro really is until this scene. I was thinking for half a minute he'd actually murder his family and leave him alive so he may suffer the same way Alexandro did. The Sicario sequel is in the works and will focus mainly on Alexandro - very excited to see it. Benicio is the shit.
R JN foreal??
Rlly bro 😑😑😑
lies
suffer ? he probably get another wife
Why would he do such thing? that man was a damn cartel boss, he deserved to die.
I can't believe the way he looks at him when he shoots them. It's nothing personal. oh wait, yes it is!
That guy was so stupid for saying that. Worst thing he could have said, maybe he knew he was gonna die?
@@inthemoment8410 I think he didn't believe he had the balls to shoot up his family. He was ok with dying, but when his family is dead the look on his face really shows he did not expect that. That's when you have a man with nothing to lose. He just wanted revenge, a 1 for 1 trade, and he got it. He felt the pain the shooter felt for the last few seconds of his life... and he let him feel it for a few seconds before finishing it.
I love how he leaned forward and you could just hear what he was wearing making that stretching noise. Clothes tensing in a tense scene, genius
@Caleb Dismuke Hypocritical? His familiy is dead, his morals went out of the window with his family being slaughtered, you think he would care about being hypocritical or being the better man? Lmao XD
The house is absolutely amazing . A dream
One of the most intense scenes in any movie that I've ever watched.
And yet it's a scene about two people talking at a dinner table for 4 minutes.
Robertロバート that's villenueve his direction along with deakins cinematography 👌🏼
He thought he could talk his way out, then after realizing his fate was sealed he tried to have his family spared. Only to see what monster he created and to lose his family right in front of his eyes, left completely horrified by what just happened. In his last seconds he knew what all his victims felt like, what went through their minds after he was done with them
Props to everyone in this movie, the acting was spectacular
*Is it me or does Benicio del toro looks like an older brad pitt and josh brolin looks like kurt russell?*
benicio del toro looks like a spanish version of brad pitt just finished using spanish shampoo and got terribly irritated eyes
He is my lawyer and He suggested I drop acid before I commit capital fraud.

2:56 “Don’t forget about my daughter.”
Thats anger right there. The wife can tell as soon as she hears him say that.
She knows they're done
Pretty sure she can speak English, the kids cant though
@@jjmm2 yea…I know she can speak english.
she wouldn’t shiver if she didn’t understand lol
@@EIAchilles Si!
One of the most brutal scenes in cinema. The score, the acting, the set, the lighting, the edits, the camera placements. Beautiful filmmaking.
This has got to be one of the best revenge scenes of any movie
The stunned fear in the eyes of the Cartel boss was incredible acting. He really looked like a man who just saw his family get wiped out in a matter of seconds knowing he's next. Excellent job.
Oh! But their not acting in real life when they come for them Bin Laden probably thought he was invincible to and these drug kingpins and Queenpins 😳
"Not in front of my boys." Unfortunately for you, that's not what he had in mind.
He actually did honor his wish.
@@InfamousAWJ He did.
The actress who played the wife did a great job with her subtle reactions. They added something a little extra to the tension.
FILM ECCEZZIONALE COME NON SE NE VEDONO DA ANNI! SICARIO DA VEDERE E RIVEDERE!🇮🇹👍👍👍
One of the darkest scenes I have ever witnessed on a film. Villeneuve and the actors, especially Del Toro and Cedillo, nail the tension, shock, and horror all into one tightly packed scene. Sicario is an absolute masterpiece.
Del Toro from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 🔥
A man can not withhold such pain on his own. Vengeance is something very evil. 😔.. you can only do so much.
I cry myself to sleep every day. I have resentment. But I pray to Him. I plea to God to help me forget. I can't😞.. all I can do is live and forgive. I sometimes ask in my prayers: "Why?? Why can not you just forget 😪??).
I can't.
@@cedarpoplar You can't forget what?
The exhale by Benecio is the best. Reality sets in.
Looks like a depressed Brad Pitt
scrolled too far to find this comment. It's a sigh of relief getting his revenge AND heavy breathing after having done something as horrific as that.
“Don’t forget about my daughter.”
That's when the wife knew that she and the kids are done for.
The most powerful moment in the whole scene to me. She knows her husband is a dangerous man. She knows she and her kids in mortal danger. But the moment Alejandro says that, she knows. She knows he isn't here to arrest her husband. She knows it's not a simple hit. In that moment, she knows just how much harm her husband has done to the man now holding her family and gunpoint and she KNOWS his only motivation is to cause them harm. She's probably had nightmares about this possibility, spent years of her life looking over her shoulder knowing payback could come at any moment. But right then and there, she knows it's all over. Her husband killed this mans daughter.
There is no evidence that the wife understands English.
@@poorchristopher15 Watch her reaction. Pretty clear she understands.
him relaxing in the chair taking a sigh of relief and speaking so calmly in english in a moment it was clearly no longer needed with a call back line signifying that the only kindness he was gunna show those boys was giving them the thought of not knowing is just perfect.
The scariest and the turning point was when he acknowledged his little girl and the wife whimpered. She knew there was no stopping him.
One of the best scenes in cinema history. Savage. Painful. Vengeful. Extremely articulate. The first time I saw this it blew my mind.
The way that the wide shot with the boss's family dead around him as Alejandro sits at the other end of the table is amazing. I feel like throughout this scene Alejandro is portrayed to be alone at his end of the table with the chairs tucked in, where his family would be, while the boss sits with his family. But by the end the boss's family are all dead on the floor and really hits home the idea of the amount of pain of being alone with your entire family murdered.
Wow, I never realized what you said about the chairs being tucked in for Alejandro's family
That's a fantastic analysis
Omg brilliant
Love how he starts with "and yet you dine" line and ends with him telling him to continue eating. Really hits home and gives him those last few precious seconds for it to hopefully sink in.
I love how loud the gunshots are. It is a proper suppressor sound and not a muffled pew pew that people in the next room can't hear. The clinks of the casings hitting the ground were also a nice touch.
“It wasn’t personal.” is kinda the worst thing to say to a family man who’s lost said family. But stand up guy that he was still didn’t shoot the dude in front of his family.
My man Benicio said "that can be arranged"
In an sadistic way, he killed them in a noble order. Killed mom first so she wouldn't see her own children killed and killed the kids before that can realize their mother was killed. Plus he honored his wish by not killing him in front of his boys
Yuppp
He did it so quick I don't think either had time to even think about grieving. That was kinda of a merciful way of doing it and not prolonged like the jerk father. In the bible days evil men like that had their whole families killed so that their evil would not continue through the next generation.
Pretty sure the family knew who their father/husband was. Standing by and doing nothing makes them all as guilty as him in my opinion.
@@Bl913 Excuse me but those children look like a teenager and either an early adolescent or a child. Our justice system doesn’t even allow them to be placed in prison.
What a nice man
I use to work in a movie theater as a food runner for Movie Tavern. And when this movie was out when I was working, I literally walked into the scene and jaw dropped. The whole theatre was dead silent I hearly dropped someone's food.. This was one of the best scenes I've worked for alongside the bus scene from Straight Out of Compton
That’s awesome dude
Movie theatres have food runners lol? I never seen anything like that
@@brandonmcduff yep
@@brandonmcduff You never saw a movie at iPic
Gets my heart pumping every time. I love how there is no music to interrupt the intensity of the scene. Soo dense and frightening.
One of the most gripping scenes, brilliantly acted, in cinema history. Still sends chills down my spine.
I jumped just seeing this for the 1st cine would have been something
You can tell when he mentions his daughter, the wife starts to cry, she knew that her children, husband, and herself would all die at that table.
That sigh after he shot those three was pure relief. Revenge at it's finest.
No it wasn't. It was regret, but pure resolve.
I wouldn’t say revenge, but he wanted him to feel the exact pain of when he took everything from him. I think what makes this so much more darker is that he let him live for a little longer just so he could be overwhelmed of what it feels like when everyone you hold most dear has been stripped from you.
No one shoots two children and a mother and feels relief lol I agree with Pernell, it felt more like he was accepting what he had just done in order to finish what he had come there to do.
@@MrAce7799 You have no idea what the drug war does to people, their feelings and their morals.
@@B20C0 uhh I guess not, but the character was a victim before he was a killer, and from what I remember the movie did not show him doing anything relatively close to what he had just done. Plus, he had a wife and children of his own, so with that context Im assuming that his expression was a sign of acceptance.
NOTHING was like seeing Sicario for the first time, without having seen this scene, because I was there in the cinema on October of 2015, when the film came out. Masterful lighting by Deakins and staging, directing by Villenueve, it's the masterpiece you can never replicate. I'm feeling homesick and nostalgic towards 2015...
I knew nothing about it going in. It was a very intense movie going experience. Pretty much made me a fan of Villeneuve.
He showed mercy, he should have made him sit there and boof the meal.
U serious dude?
@@marouanechourfi3914 I agree. This was too gentle a punishment for a narco.
What does that mean? Boof the meal?
@@tobesxpharmer5311 boof is when you shove food up your butt.
@@tobesxpharmer5311 Finish & enjoy his last meal infront of his family before he is sent into the stratosphere
The dead silence after the shots with just the crickets in the background was such an incredible way to do audio for this scene. Goddamn.
When Alarcon got worried and said "Not in front of my boys", he had NO IDEA Alejandro's level of cruelty was going to be WAAAY higher than what he expected and he was Already scared. It was twisted, unique and fully emotional at the expense of Alarcon's absolute horror. Even to the last dialog, "go ahead and finish your meal" giving him the empty sense that everything will be ok just like Alarcon said to his children, he put him in absolute terror, broke him and made soak it All in while shrinking him smaller and smaller before Alejandro capped him.
That's what made this type of revenge so fulfilling to Alejandro, even if for that moment, Yet it still wasn't enough and never will be.
What Alarcon did to Alejandro is irreparable.
After watching this clip a few times. Those were all head shots to the wife and kids. It sounded like he shot him in the throat and let him suffer a while.
Maybe the chest?
The head and chest are the typical targets.
The fact that he talks hard at first and tells him it wasnt personal... then the whole environment changes when he lets him know it was personal for him.... try to live your life normal after what i just did to your family.... no man can. Epic
This scene and the prior scenes of Alex getting to the house were so well done. I don’t know if its the music, the pacing, the sound mixing or just all that together but watching this part of the movie was so satisfying.
one kid is brock from breaking bad the other is tony from eastbound and down
Oh damn.
@Chris Ruiz Yikes
@Chris Ruiz lol

I love how Hollywood makes suppressors seem like you cannot hear the weapon firing lol. They woulda surely heard them two shots from the dinner table.
Appearently if you use subsonic rounds with a silencer gunfire can be really silent.
hears it with a .22 subsonic
sounds like loud paper tapping
@Adrian Shephard Subsonic ammunition with a quality suppressor (NOT A SILENCER) lacks the sonic crack and muffles much of the expanding gas sound. However there is still the mechanical action of the extraction, ejection, some expanding gas that comes out of the chamber as it unlocks. Plus the sound of the bullet impact and the body falling.
Hollywood 'silencer' sounds have always been hollywood fiction. And will remain around because audiences have been conditioned for it. Just like the telephone ring sound in movies was not the sound telephones made even back when they still had physical bells. ua-cam.com/video/AxXsIQDafog/v-deo.html
you have no idea what your talking about dont cha
Did you think he got his toys from Walmart? this is top shelf go and put some work in quality stuff...
When the narco mentions his wife, and right before Benicio's character answers back "don't forget about my daughter", Del Toro nodds his head for a brief second in such a sutil way, it tells you the actor is completely inmerse in the scene. Masterful, bravo!!!
The theatre I originally saw this in had the sound balanced to perfection.
Virtually whisper-quite scene, tension you could cut with a knife, edge of your seat kind of stuff.
The moment the gunshots went off, I leapt a good inch off my chair from having all that tension cut through at once.
When he shot Alracon's family my jaw hit the floor. Just the sheer cold bloodedness of the act itself. This was a man driven way over the edge. Great movie.
I would've done the same thing
