I like Sicario a lot, mainly because of Villeneuve's direction but also for having the most human character in a movie as a female and subverting the classical Hollywood female Mary Sue, which clearly caused a lot of people going mad (the original script was apparently even more polarizing), even though I think its main virtues are due to Villeneuve's balancing things as a director, and some choices in the script are far from perfect. But when I see people talking about how Del Toro is a badass in that film while Blunt's character is "annoying", I don't find it the movie's fault the same way I don't find that The Sopranos should be blamed for many of its chauvinistic fans comments, but I see where the criticism is coming from. That being said, probably I'm biased after seeing Villeneuve maneuver through movies where the "macho" aspect is reduced considerably, so I can understand how Sicario doesn't approve the male character's actions.<br />I also liked Hell Or High Water, even if in retrospective didn't bring many new things to the table, I wonder how WR compares to it considering Sheridan doesn't have a reign on his vision now.Álex Marquéshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05821212990738471676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-4617172795924341632017-10-12T06:45:39.278-04:002017-10-12T06:45:39.278-04:00Cavin: The film itself has significantly soured on...Cavin: The film itself has significantly soured on me outside of Renner’s work.

I actually think the film could have worked with someone like Terry Gilliam at the helm. James Pondsoldt's who seems to strive for a realism was on the other hand a terrible choice for what I assume was suppose to be a satire. If the film was directed with a heightened reality the story could have worked but as it is it is truly a bizarre piece since almost no one behaves like a normal human yet it is presented in such a straight forward way. This does make the film frequently unintentionally hilarious though. <br /><br />Watson - 1(She's just not very good and her American accent her was particularly awkward. It's another case of overemphasis theater from her, but a particularly horrendous version of it. It doesn't help though that her character acts so strange throughout which Watson only makes weirder with her performance that also is very inconsistent in terms of portraying any consistency with the character either. Nothing ever feels natural about her work for even a moment, and what's worse though is there's times where she seems to trying to have a certain style to it, and then there's others when she's trying to be authentic. She fails in both halves either way.)<br /><br />Coltrane - 1(He's even worse but there isn't anything special about his badness per se. He's just kind of a bad high school actor who happens to be in a feature film.)<br /><br />Boyega - 3(He's in a tech thriller, which is not the film, and I have to say he does a decent job of selling a non-existent tension in the plot. He's good even if the film seems to forget he even exists most of the time.)<br /><br />Gillan - 3(She's actually pretty good in playing towards a realistic version of the film. Her performance isn't attune with any satire, but if the film was trying to be a genuine look on the subject she had the right approach.)<br /><br />Hanks - 3(Not in it enough and it made me wish he had gotten to play a pure evil Steve Jobs alike, as I did like his use of his charm to sugarcoat some pretty horrible ideas. The film underused him here, but I'd say he was game for the satire.) <br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Prisoners 1960's directed by Sidney Lumet:<br /><br />Keller: William Holden<br />Loki: Rod Steiger<br />Grace: Joan Fontaine<br />Franklin: Ossie Davis<br />Nancy: Ruby Dee<br />Alex Jones: Dennis Hopper<br />Holly Jones: Claire Trevor<br />Father Dunn: Henry Hull<br />Bob Taylor: Joe Turkel<br /><br />Wind River 1980's Directed by Peter Weir:<br /><br />Cory Lambert: Scott Glenn<br />Jane Banner: Sean Young<br />Martin Hanson: Russell Means<br />Chip: Michael Horse<br />Ben: Will Sampson<br />Matt: Brion James<br />Pete: Vernon Wells<br /><br />Robert:<br /><br />That's pretty good summation, his final ridiculous facial expressions I thought were particularly detrimental to the film.Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-26490949343236174282017-10-11T22:13:10.617-04:002017-10-11T22:13:10.617-04:00This performance is comparable to Rockwell in The ...This performance is comparable to Rockwell in The Green Mile actually...Charles Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702365476332792775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-20312662070157704242017-10-11T21:42:14.789-04:002017-10-11T21:42:14.789-04:00Louis: I described Jordan’s performance to a frien...Louis: I described Jordan’s performance to a friend as some trying and failing to do a drunken impression of Sam Rockwell in The Green Mile.Robert MacFarlanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17264501767985746886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-7474994532094937632017-10-11T21:26:50.418-04:002017-10-11T21:26:50.418-04:00Louis: Your cast for a 1960's Prisoners and 19...Louis: Your cast for a 1960's Prisoners and 1980's Wind River.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-73785373446191450142017-10-11T20:52:20.434-04:002017-10-11T20:52:20.434-04:00Louis: Thoughts on The Circle and your thoughts on...Louis: Thoughts on The Circle and your thoughts on the cast.Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.com
