There must be many people like me who don't watch movies often...

They just don't appeal.

"I still loved him, but killed him for the money", said the young female sicario arrested in Colombia a few days ago.

"Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent." said Arthur Conan Doyle.

rupertstubbs.bsky.social•79 days ago

Emily Blunt should be reason enough

edbryan.bsky.social•79 days ago

Brilliant film, it’s a lot more acceptable than Love Actually :)

eastmad.bsky.social•79 days ago

Ends up being quite a complicated movie

yorkshirepaddy.bsky.social•79 days ago

Awesome film

r0bertpau1s0n.bsky.social•79 days ago

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

drmegt.bsky.social•79 days ago

It doesn’t sound like my thing Could be one for @timofnewbury.bsky.social

miniannette.bsky.social•79 days ago

So I loved this movie and have watched it multiple times but not going to lie - it has put me off going to Mexico!

jennycooper.bsky.social•79 days ago

It's a big, beautiful country. Yucatan is a good place to start.

miniannette.bsky.social•79 days ago

Oh I’ve always wanted to go - I’ve spent almost all my career in east Africa and South Asia so never made it to anywhere in South or Central America but I’d love to explore

jennycooper.bsky.social•79 days ago

Guatemala is stunning but I think it's fair to say one might should do a bit of research before planning a trip. But you sound a highly experienced traveller so no worries.

iandunt.bsky.social•79 days ago

I spent a few weeks in Juarez. It's perilous, but nothing like as bad as it's portrayed in that film.

johndaledalton.bsky.social•79 days ago

Was that where they had the 1983 radiation accident in which a hospital radiotherapy source was stolen, melted down and made into restaurant table legs?

tietat.bsky.social•79 days ago

Very mediocre film..

charldash.bsky.social•79 days ago

tietat.bsky.social•79 days ago

Very good film 👆🏼

tsoprano.bsky.social•79 days ago

Several times

rhid83.bsky.social•79 days ago

Emily blunt is so bad ass in this, great shout.

peterb333.bsky.social•79 days ago

Yep, great film.

loudjon.bsky.social•79 days ago

Such brilliant performances throughout 5⭐️

fatpants.bsky.social•79 days ago

The border crossing scene alone is worth the price of admission. Great movie.

neiljg.bsky.social•78 days ago

One of the best.

lillput.bsky.social•79 days ago

Cinematography by Roger Deakins IIRC

altimetr.bsky.social•79 days ago

The sequence crossing the border into The Beast is fantastic- incredibly potent filmmaking

skullkidtermina.bsky.social•79 days ago

It’s ok. But it reminded me of Clear and Present Danger which is much better and sadly all too prophetic

bellfieldboy1960.bsky.social•79 days ago

Properly awesome film. Nuanced and and conflicted. Brolin possesses that limitless self-belief of the religious zealot convinced of his ultimate redemption in American heaven.

commsguymatt.bsky.social•79 days ago

It's so good

jennycooper.bsky.social•79 days ago

The only weak part is why the cartel kingpin's domestic security is so lax. Otherwise excellent.

l0gjammin.bsky.social•79 days ago

The incoming US Administration is filled w Groypers creaming themselves to make this movie a reality. You're welcome for the vulgarity

Love your journalism, but....

stephenstroud.bsky.social•79 days ago

You might just have ruined my good resolutions for this weekend.

iandunt.bsky.social•79 days ago

You'll really like it, I imagine

stephenstroud.bsky.social•79 days ago

I did but it meant a 2am bedtime.

iandunt.bsky.social•78 days ago

Haha worth it I hope

rorycunningham.bsky.social•79 days ago

I’ve been looking after my mother/wife/children/grandchildren.

neilwhalley.bsky.social•79 days ago

To question what we’ve been doing with our lives cos we haven’t seen a tv show seems odd. I like a bit of tv but so many people treat watching tv as their second profession. They seem to need to watch everything

philh50.bsky.social•79 days ago

I *think* lads, that he might have been being a little sarcastic. I'm sure any reasonable person accepts that caring for family members comes before watching telly. And anyone who follows Ian knows he loves cinema and the arts. I would think of it as a strong recommendation from a cinephile.

neilwhalley.bsky.social•79 days ago

Fair comment, nicely put 👍

philh50.bsky.social•79 days ago

The joy of Bluesky. Have a lovely day!

bouldershorts.bsky.social•79 days ago

I’ve heard it’s like Spider-Man.

colinbaines15.bsky.social•79 days ago

📌

richdef.bsky.social•79 days ago

Amazing movie. My first inkling that Villeneuve will become one of the great directors.

tb8114.bsky.social•79 days ago

The soundtrack of this movie is one to devote time to. Totally gripping tracks.

thetoffdog.bsky.social•79 days ago

The "Wah Wums" are epic! Even if I can't express them! 😂

lutonbhoy.bsky.social•78 days ago

I knew exactly what you meant 🤣👌🏻

tb8114.bsky.social•79 days ago

I know what you mean! The tunnel raid in particular.

bridkid.bsky.social•79 days ago

I particularly liked the scene when they set off into the desert, silhouetted against the last of the setting sun. Suberb cinematography.

hughmanbeing.bsky.social•79 days ago

Roger Deakins. Legend.

renerth.bsky.social•79 days ago

Johann Johannsson’s soundtrack is incredible.

gcse-macbeth.bsky.social•79 days ago

Don't think I realized DV directed this. Very good film anyway.

mtbrone.bsky.social•78 days ago

A high point for Taylor Sheridan - but you should all be doing Lioness and Landman then.

Just accept the ho-ho politics (well within character) and you will like the dialogue.

richardl05.bsky.social•79 days ago

The sequel, Sicario: Day of the Soldado Is worth a watch too.

quorrl.bsky.social•79 days ago

is that the movie Trump got all his ideas from about how human trafficking works, or was it the sequel

petermiles.bsky.social•79 days ago

Thanks to misreading and/or misremembering this post, I now have 2 films to watch, the second being Frank Serpico, a documentary made in 2017.

https://youtu.be/nvkJb2PjGW8?si=GEEfjs7HkD08ZXiR

execrable.bsky.social•79 days ago

Somehow I missed that one. Even the title and character names don't mean anything to me. Getting old.

philh50.bsky.social•79 days ago

Watch that, then watch Narcos on Netflix. Embroil yourself in a world of sicario-ness. Plus you get more Pedro Pascal in your life.

onebefore.bsky.social•79 days ago

Haven't had a telly in years

farmerukr.bsky.social•79 days ago

Great film

mcolvinmckenzie.bsky.social•79 days ago

A great film but often troubling

mrjoefitz.bsky.social•79 days ago

Very tense traffic jams

skullkidtermina.bsky.social•79 days ago

Mexico in real life vs Mexico in Hollywood movies

el-presidente.bsky.social•79 days ago

El Matriz.

kerry10.bsky.social•79 days ago

Sicario 1 & 2 are brilliant.
I love Benicio Del Toro & Emily Blunt in this film.

spw-dev.pro•79 days ago

Realising Emily Blunt isn’t the main character changes this movie entirely. Fantastic film

berniescroggins.bsky.social•79 days ago

It's the stubborn part of me that refuses to watch anything that people say I must watch. I may then come around a few years later and convince myself it was my own idea to watch it. Have pencilled in Succession for 2030.
