This movie is mad intense! Always loved it. Benicio Del Toro and Emily Blunt did an amazing job.
I don't know for sure, but it FEELS like one of the most "real" movies out there. Like they did research for it and this is stuff agents just go through.
I love the idea that Alejandro is actually the main character, but with Kate serving as the audience proxy. It's kinda his story, and he accomplishes his goal by the end, while shattering Kate's understanding of morality and its place in a land of shadows(or lack of). Legendary pic for a 1st time watch.
Stay awesome!😁🙃🫠🙃😁
It’s really a unique story structure.
But what of Silvio, the Sonora State Police officer? Why is he in the movie? For whom is he a proxy? The fact that he has a name, a wife, and a son, transform this movie. His role could simply have been as a minion-he would have been in 1000 other movies, but Villeneuve made him a human being with just a few scenes.
No, Alejandro was not from the Colombian Cartel. He was a lawyer whose family was murdered because he was legally fighting the Cartels. After his family was murdered, he became a hit man, a Sicario.
yep, so he was working some for the Colombian Cartel so he could find and take out the leader of the other Cartel, who was his personal target. As a Sicario he worked for anyone as a gun for hire, but he did it to further his own personal goals. So while he wasn't a member of the Columbian Cartel, he was working for them because he was going to take out the leader of their rival Cartel.
What I liked most about this movie was how realistic many aspects of it were compared to other movies, I live in south/central Texas and grew up in a family business related to construction so my white boy self grew up around more mexicans and illegals than most and the overwhelming majority worked harder for themselves and their families than most legal citizens but that doesn't mean there wasn't a small minority doing stuff you wouldn't believe (same with any race, country etc) so its good to see both sides in this movie.
I'm also 'into' guns and police/military stuff so most movies that touch on any of those subjects drive me insane because its almost always so incredibly unrealistic its almost unwatchable but this movie is like my top 3 of all time because even though there were a few mistakes on the guns and gun play (the border scene when the guy exits his car - his was BCG locked to the rear and he used the wrong hand to open the door) and some other random stuff it was still more realistic than 95% of movies out there
I’ve driven my truck and ridden my motorcycle through West Texas and on the other side of the line on my travels into Mexico. I’ve never seen any bad shit, but the Frontera is spooky, especially between towns. I rode from Balmorhea down to Langtry and on to Del Rio and Piedras Negras, crossed, and headed down to Saltillo and Monterrey through Monclova. In Monclova I was stopped by some friendly agriculture cops that wanted a bribe but were satisfied with some cheap cigars. It was actually a relief to interact with them.
Do you know what I’m talking about? The vibe on both sides of the border on that stretch of the Frontera? I’m not superstitious or religious. I studied science and I’m an avid science fan. But I believe that whole country down there is haunted, whether by ghosts or an evil spirit, I don’t know. Silence. You don’t see nobody for miles. Beautiful and bleak terrain, canyons with little streams and stands of trees on the canyon bottoms. You come out of the canyons, flat terrain, nothing but Joshua trees and cholla for miles, mountains just a smudge on the horizon.
And unprompted, I’m thinking to myself, a lot of blood was spilled here. A long time ago, before Columbus even, there were wars and murders in this place. People hunted people. And I shiver and I keep riding and the feeling passes. And after some hours, the smudge of mountains grow taller, become clearer, and I know I’m a couple of hours from Monterrey and humanity. I won’t completely relax until I reach San Luis Potosí, but at least I’m close to humanity. I’m seeing more cars.
I stop in Monterrey for the night because the highways aren’t safe after dark. If the bandits don’t get you, you could hit a cow.
I agree with the 95% and most of what you said, I had some gripes with the tactics used ( especially the first scene and the tunnel ) but I loved the way they handled the border shootout. L shaped beside and in front of the car, everyone with a clear line of fire, really solid stuff.
I live in Brazil, where two violent drug cartels take over, they own politicians, police officers, judges, who are subsequently linked to the FARC, which is linked to those in Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico! When I watch this film, it is what I see in the news almost daily.
Dude in the glasses is a boss in this and the next one, underrated character fr
If you haven’t already. Watch the show Burn Notice.
He used to be a spy 🙂
Google Mike Vining and Norman Schwarzkopf picture, it's not Mike Vining in the picture but lots of people think it is. Jeffry Donovan's character in Sicario is based on him and on that picture, total badass.
Prisoners is another great film from the same director, Denis Villeneuve (who was also the director of the newest Dune movies).
Don't forget Arrival. Another great movie of his
The writer is Taylor Sheridan, he also wrote Wind River and Hell or High Water, both great movies.
Such a masterpiece of suspense and atmospher. Denis Villeneuve is a genius! Watch ALL his movies! 😇
Love seeing people’s first reaction to this masterpiece.
Her reaction to this family dying was underwhelming lmao
This movie is literally #5 in my Top 5 Films ever made, it’s an absolute MASTERCLASS in tension building. Soooo good!!!
whats the other 4?
at some point there is a barking dog in a scene. such a brilliant move, because it adds even more tension. Fantastic movie.
The scene with Alejandro and the imprisoned cartel leader tied to the chair: no the implication wasn’t he sexually assaulted him. It was that they were going to waterboard him - notorious American torture idea, stimulated drowning . And the imposed physical dominance was just a scare tactic before starting. Which is why Josh brolin’s character said to the other white guy, “oh you have him a belly full of water? You devil.”. - something that would make a water boarding experience much much worse. - and why Alejandro walked in with the water jug and said you’ll learn about hell in Yankee land. And they finished on the drain.
Good explanation, I hope she catches it. No one would like that big D energy in their face. Even worse since they have a very machismo based culture.
I grew up on the border between el paso and juarez, so alot of these things were very normal for awhile. It was even worse in small towns where i have family. Lost alot of family, an uncle whose body was never found and others who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. If you notice in the movie most cars are older. We would never drive our newer cars across or you risked getting robbed, most times by the state police like he said. Theyre not always your friends.
I like the way you observe, Stef. You notice SO MUCH more than your earliest videos. A true cinephile.
“Sicario” is stylistically refined, radical - truly captivating!
Kate stands for us viewers, who watch the events unfold in bewilderment.
This superbly staged thriller shows a terrible reality and asks uncomfortable questions without pretending to know the answers.
The incredibly exciting thriller directed by Denis Villeneuve is already legendary.
A masterpiece.
The actors are all magnificent.
It's a symbiotic relationship. One can't survive without the other.
Defo should check out Wind River!!
Yes, but Hell or High Water first.
I love this movie, it's so well done for the story it tells, and that's just how Denis Villeneuve does movies. Another one of his that I find similar in terms of cinematography is "Incendies". I totally get that is a hard watch for some people but I also feel like it isn't as far fetched to think that all of these things happen for real without us ever hearing about it. The morality aspect is something that I also really liked in this because to an extent you can understand everyone's side. And when you see the corrupt cop, Silvio, Kate, it reminds me of another piece of dialogue "Because when it's your life and the lives of everyone you love, your moral conviction doesn't mean anything. It leaves you. All you want at that moment is not to be shot.", I feel like it illustrates that side of us that's nearly universal. Few will sacrifice their life for their morals.
I actually just saw this movie for the first time a few days ago and ive been watching every reaction i can find lol. I found your channel a month or two back and i love how invested you get in the movies. I actually live on the border and i had forgotten how bad Juarez got a few years back.
This was my first Denis movie and after I watched it, it stuck with me for weeks. All of Taylor Sheridan's movies are bangers but this one is special in just how dark it really gets
Emily Blunt did such a great job. Thanos n Benicio were also great. The way this movie was shot was awesome. There's another movie, Sicario 2 but it's not as awesome as this but it is still pretty fkn good
*TOP SO WE TALK PRIVATELY!*
I would highly recommend the sequel Day of the Soldado.
I wouldn't. Completely different experience without Denis Villeneuve at the helm.
It's a pale shadow of this film, don't bother.
to the people on patreon who recommend this and made it win. doing gods work thank you
"I've never seen a movie like THIS!" is what you can say about any of DenisVillenueve's films...
If Americans stopped using drugs like coke&meth there wouldn't be a market here for the stuff the cartels push. The problems begin&end right here in the good ol' USA!!!
Thanx for the reaction Stef.
Facts!
Unfortunately people will never stop using drugs
You have just witnessed a denis villeneuve movie and hes got WAY MORE. Hope u watch them all w vid as always
Your enemy fights without any rules and morality and we fight with rules and morality and that's why we lose. Cartels, gangs and criminals don't care about rules, law and what's good or bad.
Ah yes, a movie that starts with you feeling immaculate, but feeling truly filthy by the end.
One of the all time great neo-westerns. Possibly Denis’ best work. Johann Johannsson’s scores are never anything less than transcendent.
*TOP SO WE TALK PRIVATELY!*
One of my favourite shows EVER. Benicio Del Toro is amazing and the scenery just mwah *chefs kiss*
*TOP SO WE TALK PRIVATELY!*
Man I forgot how hard-hitting this film is. I think as I get older, I find a lot of these things far more unsettling than I used to.
*TOP SO WE TALK PRIVATELY!*
Love Benicio man, super underrated actor, loved him in the Wolfman,
Stumbled across this channel because I absolutely love this movie and I watch every and I mean EVERY reaction I can to it. That being said it is already one of the best if not the best reactions I’ve maybe seen. I really dig and relate to the way you watch movies. I hit that subscribe button not even halfway through the reaction. Well done homie 👌👏🙌💯🫡

Anyone who watches this movie won't be the same person afterwards
One of the most underrated movies ever made.
*TOP SO WE TALK PRIVATELY!*
What's sad is the things in this movie are just the tip of the iceberg. There's some really fucked up things that happen every day in this world.
In most cases I'm the type of person to step up/speak up when I see something is wrong...which makes me empathize with Emily's character...but I also understand things are just different in other areas of the world. You step on the wrong person's toes and you're gone.
It actually reminds me of a story Jon Bernthal told on a podcast (possibly Joe Rogan?). He saw a woman getting beat up pretty bad by a group of men and tried intervening. One of them pointed a gun at him and told him to get the hell out of there. I imagine that woman was raped/murdered that night and there really wasn't anything he could do about it.
Humans are terrifying.

LOVE how people think she is the main character
Soooo excited when I saw you post this hah. One of my absolute favourites, great reaction Steph 🍻, such an amazing movie.
Welcome to Denis Villeneuve
If you enjoy this movie, I recommend..."Unthinkable" staring Samuel L Jackson. That was a great movie.
Yes a million times this, I would put (2006) "Miami Vice" in there as well, and (2010) "The Town", and "Smokin' Aces."
@@extremerpg409 Also, she should definitely watch "The Departed". A remake of Hong Kong movie "Infernal Affairs"
@@extremerpg409 Another movie, "The Departed"
Omfg OF ALL THE MOVIES I NEVER EXPECRED THIS ONE!!?
This movie is intense, no doubt about it.
If you're looking for a fun early 90s movie with TONS of heart, you might like "Drop Dead Fred"! I used to watch it when was a young kid, and I re-watched it again in my 30s (while high) and cried tears of happiness at the nostalgia and the great message that I missed when I was young
Top 5 movie
I really love this movie. You should watch INCENDIES, from the same director.ñ and in my opinión Denis Villeneuve best movie!!! 😎🎬✌️
Wind river is another good one by the same director
Not the same director.
Same writer.
Wind River is not a Villeneuve joint.
Impressive reaction! You noticed even small details like a champ :)

It's always been nice when you're able to go outside and not be around dead bodies. You know, because. Because

I think it's very easy for people to think how bad it is for police, judges, and officials to be corrupted in Mexico, but it's definitely a tough choice. When the threat of not doing what a cartel wants can be that you'll be taken to the middle of nowhere to be beheaded and your son will come with to watch and subsequently be skinned alive, it's easy to see why people give in.
Also important to note how the state of things is heavily influenced by the US. There's a huge demand for drugs and a readily available supply of weapons that can find their way south. It's a perfect combination to keep cartels in business and keep them violent.
*TOP SO WE TALK PRIVATELY!*
Yeah, girlie!!!
The 2nd one is just as good if not better.
You should watch the rest of the sequels and also I’d recommend “13 Hours” and “Lone Survivor”. They’ll rip you to pieces but also I think you would be glad you watched them afterwards. Either way great reaction as always

Sylvio.. Was a bad man.. But a good father. And he was just doing what he could to give his family a better life. But at the end of the day, he was helping fund the people who hurt Alejandro and so many others..
*TOP SO WE TALK PRIVATELY!*
I understand you have trouble getting your thoughts out, but i really appreciate how much it clearly affected you emotionally, esp since you understand that this happens irl and it's actually worse than this depiction. That realization that this stuff really happens hit you like a ton of bricks. Don't worry, it hit me too, just like that, when i first learned what the irl cartel was like. It's crazy and it's so close to us in the US too and people don't even care. IRL nobody is really doing anything to stop it. It's alright btw to not be the best at analysis of things or speaking. I think you clearly conveyed how the movie impacted you even without saying a lot of words.

Next poll should include Sicario 2. It's absolutely badass!
Alejandro is so bad ass in this movie. I guess it spoils what he is if you look up what "Sicario" means.. But can you blame him?
That whole last scene with him as he gets revenge. Arguably he let off the drug lord and his family much easier than they did with Alejandro. Unlike the drug lord, Alejandro made sure to end his family's life fast and relatively painless comparatively. Also Alejandro has to live with his pain and guilt.. Diaz doesn't. In fact I think the only reason Alejandro doesn't kill them all right away is so that Diaz can feel what it's like to lose everything for even 5 seconds.
The movie tells you what sicario means in the first minute, why do you need to look it up?
WHOA!!! are you ready?? This is going to be awesome. Love your channel and reactions. Have a great day and weekend. 💯💯💯👍👍👍🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️
Does this mean you haven't seen No Country for Old Men?
No way she has
This movie is amazing love the video Stef stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Thanks Stef - it's a "Tough Watch" film, that's for sure...

You can watch the sequel if you want but let it be known that Denis Villeneuve didn't make it and it shows.
He's coming back soon...are you ready?
Give the Movie "Traffic" a watch...show alot of perspectives of the drug trade including the cartels point of view all the way to the government and the actual users
There is a sequel to this 3 years later in 2018
Why are they giving you the most traumatic movies to watch lol. Goodness
Just want to point out that when he said "don't forget about my daughter", the wife knew what would happen next. She knew that it was over for her and her sons which is why she started crying when he said that.
You don't know that. My impression is she thought "Oh shit my husband's men killed this guys daughter! My Husband is 100% dead for sure." and she is stifling a cry for him.
@@Harkness78you could be right. It could be that or maybe after he said that, she figured that her and her sons wouldn't leave the dinner room alive. She could have been thinking "my husband killed this man's daughter and now sounds like he going to kill me and my boys just to get revenge on him. How could my husband do this horrible act and didn't expect retribution? How could he not expect that chances are that me and our children would pay for his crimes?".

Sicario 2 tambien es buena.
Denis villeneuve is the greatest working director, maybe the greatest ever by the time he's done
*TOP SO WE TALK PRIVATELY!*
One of the larger problems in combating the cartels is that hurting one helps the others because the customer base does not shrink. Medellín is a reference to the first drug cartel formed by Pablo Escobar. During that time the united states could and did on many occasions negotiate and effect the cartel, creating a sort of stability. Unfortunately when that cartel dissolved it was replaced by almost a hydra of others. So the possibility of setting the stage for one large organization to emerge and replacing the multiple would be beneficial for the united states. As immoral as the plan might be it is still the most possible thus reasonable plan anyone has theorized. It would be fantasy to believe that the cartels could ever be eradicated when they bring in multiple to tens of billions in profits yearly.
*TOP SO WE TALK PRIVATELY!*
Another great movie is "End of Watch"...
I'll be expecting your message to
This one was the better of the two but both this and part 2 are really good movies...hoping they make a part 3. Movies like these are rare these days as everything made now is adults in spandex pretending to have super powers and a whole shit ton of CGI (basically a bunch of poop being made now days) so when something like this comes along embrace it because they are few and far between.

Kate is 100% the antagonist bad person in this film.
I keep wondering how much better it might have been if they’d just cuffed and gagged her for the rest of the movie as soon as she started walking into the bank. Just throw her in a trunk and make her sign the paper at the end.
The only thing she did right the entire movie was not try to shoot Alejandro.

Whether it's an old video I'm rewatching or a new one,Stef's always gonna be a baddie 😍😁 her dude better know how to fight lol
Really ? Sicario? Whats wrong with you people voting for this movie? You really threw her off the cliff here lol. If you wanted a Villeneuve movie vote for Dune or Arrival. Dont get me wrong I think this movie is just about perfect ( besides some of the tactics used in the shootouts ) but Stef is just way too vulnerable for stuff like this. :)
Really great movie though, Villeneuve directing a movie with Sheridan's script...it was destined to be outstanding. The way they built the tension from crossing to border into Mexico, all the way to back is a masterclass in film making. 10/10
