Too much of everything
Fantastic!
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
I have rewatched this film 5 times now. It's stunning. The acting is phenomenal. The cinematography is gorgeous. The pacing of scenes to build tension and disturb you is almost mathematical. The score of the film is a great contribution as well to the building of tension or dread depending on the scene. Definitely watch
This movie is just down right boring. I am not sure how it has so many good reviews. Emily Blunt's character is just downright whiny & annoying. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen, but it just flops. Not going to be lining up for the sequel.
This move is simply outstanding. The directing, the acting from the 3 main characters, being Josh Brolin, Emily Blunt and Benicio Del Toro is very believable. The story is very compelling. The cinematography is gorgeous. The futility of the drug war, and its literal elimination of morality, lingers throughout the film. Emily Blunt and Del Toro are flawless in tension together as their values clash, and Brolin fits the typical American bravado role seamlessly. It is one of its kind, a movie addressing the Mexican/US drug cartel concerns, and executing it with utter class, style and realism.
As an amateur viewer so do not bury me with you cinema knowledge for that.I saw this film and i really liked that. In my personal point of view the best part of the movie is Del Toro acting. Beautiful , real and disciplined acting by Del Toro. His acting and movements so professional and classy. Cinematography is perfect. Sound edit way perfect than it looks. Most important thing is camera movement, Smooth .Simple and Enough , No camera on hand and run like crazy unlike the Hollywood movies these days. (Damn that camera on hands are headaches.)There is just 1 minor problem in storytelling . I think the script needed to be saturated some more about the drug cartels and their operations.And there is 1 big problem and that is Emily Blunt and Daniel Kaluuya acting. Blunt is flimsy and heavy , very much filled with fake and made-up confusing looks. She is so much unreal that you will ask during the whole movie : Why she is here ?! If you want to get to a cartel leader then you should know there is no written procedures for this type of operations. And if you do not like it , then why you and Kaluuya are here ? You cannot pretend to want some maniac Druglord badly and yet behave like you don't know what these Druglords look like and question everything and demand everyone their intents plus their reasons and if she does not like those she threaten to walk. No body forces her and his mate to join for this kind of operations.Overall , this is very well made movie with a very good acting and story.
