Welcome back to another exciting episode of Bad Dads Film Review! We're your trusty band of Dad cinephiles, here to discuss, dissect, and occasionally disagree over the best and most interesting films the cinema world has to offer. Today, we delve into the murky world of drug cartels and moral ambiguity with Denis Villeneuve's gripping thriller, "Sicario".
"Sicario", a 2015 action thriller, takes us into the heart of the US-Mexican border's brutal drug war. Emily Blunt gives a powerhouse performance as Kate Macer, an idealistic FBI agent who finds herself in a task force aiming to bring down a notorious Mexican cartel leader. She's joined by the enigmatic Alejandro, portrayed masterfully by Benicio Del Toro, and the sly, all-business Matt Graver, played by Josh Brolin.
We'll dive into the incredible performances, the tight and suspenseful storytelling, and the skillful direction that makes "Sicario" a film that's hard to forget. We'll discuss how Villeneuve and screenwriter Taylor Sheridan use the brutal violence of the drug war to explore larger themes about morality, legality, and the lengths we're willing to go to achieve perceived justice.
We'll talk about the tense, climactic scenes that left us on the edge of our seats, and the questions the film leaves lingering in our minds long after the credits roll.
We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. If it hasn't been completely destroyed yet you can usually find us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review, on email at baddadsjsy@gmail.com or on our website baddadsfilm.com.
