Denis Villeneuve's 'Sicario' | Patreon #22

Kelsi and Trey finish off their anti-war series and begin their Emily Blunt discussion with the very thrilling and politically complicated Denis Villeneuve's Sicario. This is a technical masterclass on several fronts; with an imposing performance from Benicio Del Toro, stunning photography from Roger Deakins, and a brutal soundtrack from the late-great Jóhann Jóhannsson. However, while Sicario is a cinematic powerhouse, this episode explores the movie's challenge of paralleling a military state with drug cartels and how the film may have a difficult legacy because of underdeveloped subversions.
