So anyway I watched the film Sicario (2015) this weekend, and I swear I have been thinking about this movie constantly ever since. In my opinion the most underrated movie I have ever seen in my life.
I typically don’t enjoy generic “police vs cartel” movies or whatever, there are like 50,000 of these movies and they all just blend together in my mind, but holy shit Sicario was just on a level of its own, I have obsessed about it for 4 days.
The film starts with the FBI raiding a drug house in Arizona, they successfully raid the house but they find human corpses in the walls and a huge bomb detonated in the back yard etc…this is all on American soil and the incident makes national news and all that.
The main character is like some new FBI hot shot captain or whatever, and she is immediately determined to bring the men responsible for this atrocity to justice.
We find out that this drug house belongs to the Cartel and the FBI chick immediately gets recruited to this task force that’s going to go after the Cartel. As the film goes on, FBI chick discovers that she has actually been recruited by the CIA without knowing it for them to go after the Cartel.
Anyway, the whole movie is about FBI chick finding out that she is actually completely powerless to bring about any change in this battle, and she discovers that the people working for the CIA are just as monstrous and evil as the Cartel themselves, they torture, they employ Cartel hitmen, etc... We also find out that the only reason the CIA wanted her was because it is illegal for the CIA to operate on U.S. soil unless they are “working with” the FBI and they actually didn’t care about her at all and just wanted an FBI teammate so they didn’t get in legal trouble etc. We also find out that the CIA themselves were the ones who taught the Cartel all of the brutal guerilla warfare shit they do, etc…
The whole film is about this chick just realizing that she doesn’t have or want what it takes to make a difference in such a dark war fought by evil people, and the whole thing is just so brilliant.
The thesis of this post is that One Piece is trash and nobody gives a fuck about this shitty ass manga, have any of the rest of you seen the Film Sicario and if so what did you think?
