Sicario
Load of predictable, politically suspect bollix
I recognised a street from this film on Saturday and walked as much of the film as I could remember.Victoria. Girl meets guy in Berlin nightclub and ends up being recruited as the getaway driver in a bank heist. Takes place in real time, shot in one take over a single night. Exhilarating stuff, ridiculously intense, technically astounding. My main criticism would be that it’s at least 20 min too long but I guess that’s how long it took to film.
I mean we knew there were monsters because of the title, right?10 Cloverfield Lane
I enjoyed it, mostly.
A bit M Night Shamaaladingdong at the end but in a funny way.
This was great.Sicario

Yeah, wanna see this.Baskin - Enjoyable mess of a Turkish Horror Film. Way better than I am used to from that country.
This was great.
I wrote to the costume designer asking where she got Emily Blunt's t-shirts
Haven't heard back
Ah any film that is 100% Hollywood (which Sicario is) is politically suspect really.Wait, what's politically suspect about Sicario?
Wait, what's politically suspect about Sicario?
You should see Zod in Boardwalk Empire..he is terrific!
Ah that's a good movieHalf of Lobster. It had to be turned off when they showed the dead dog. No loss, it was bollox anyway.
It is astounding how much the actors look like the people they're playing though, eerie like.
American Sniper was a better critique imho
You're aware that Ice Cube's own son plays Ice Cube?
It may well have been in fairness. If so that almost makes it even more powerful.Really? I watched it and thought it was sincerely "America, fuck yeah"
I am sure you can find the exact shirts she wore on eBay.

Simply put: the whole thing is shown from the various points of view of US law enforcement agencies as if they are the people who should have the final word on the issue. Anyone who disagrees is the Kate figure in the film; not willing to man-up and face the 'reality' of the situation.
I don't see any real critique of American imperialist policy in the film myself, just a very vague "gosh isn't it awful that things have come to this but that's what the drugs gangs have forced us to do" resignation.
American Sniper was a better critique imho
but, you know, Emily Blunt.
Apart from the whole end justifying the means in contravention of a plethora of laws of so-called civilsed countries, the portrayal of Juarez as basically 2005 Fallujah plays into American xenophobia and siege mentality vis-a-vis Mexico and the border.
And the whole thing serves as an apologia for the heavy handed tactics used in the War on Drugs that have in some ways created the bloodbath in Mexico.
