Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 5322700, member: 833"] [B]Sicario (2015)[/B] - I don't think I have ever watched this movie end to end until today. I remember some of the more famous scenes, but I did not realize how disjointed the plot was until I just watched it with my kid. There are several major logic leaps by characters, starting with Emily Blount's character joining the special group in the first place, and her boss' encouragement of her to do that. The scene with Jon Bernthal makes no logical sense, nor does her storming into the bank. The end is completely ridiculous. While the movie feels like a good movie in the moment because Villeneuve is such a good Director and the cast is strong, the movie is really just a bunch of cool scenes inside a story that is kind of stupid. The more Taylor Sheriden stuff I watch (I am almost done with Season 1 of Landman, gave up on Yellowstone 5 minutes into season 1, ep 4), the less I like him. Everything of his that I have seen is pretty sexist, with female characters that are always very attractive and generally pretty useless, overly sexualized, and/or shrill. He leans heavy on stereotypes in both this and Landman in his portrayal of Mexicans. His plots always seem to revolve around an alpha male character or two that have virtually superhuman capabilities, so after a while it is hard to care because you know the alpha character is going to win. That is a sign of lazy writing. He is pretty good with turns of phrase, and with the right director his scenes can look good, but overall Sheriden sucks. [/QUOTE]
