>the script>Alejandro is 35-year-old instead of 50>Kate reminds him of his wife instead of his daughter>Alejandro sexually assaults Kate for fun>it's Reggie who saves Kate from Ted instead of Alejandro>Alejandro spares Julio's kids and wifeAnon who recommended me to read the script was right: Villeneuve did save that movie.
Am I supposed to believe some softboy lawyer got his wife and kid killed and then somehow turned into an elite operator CIA hitman?
>>222760484>ReggieReggie LeDuex?
>>222760513According to Alejandro, in Mexico it's the prosecutors who investigate crimes, not the police, and he crossed the road of the wrong people while doing so.
>>222760586The system is similar to shartland where the prosecutor might direct police but theyre nothing doing anything beyond that, it still doesn't explain how a random middle aged lawyer turned into a tier one secret operator
>>222760484the takeaway: Sheridan is woke and his rep as based is BS. Glad to hear DV fixed it. Reggie and Kate are both huge cunts and only libs don't get that.
>>222760484>spares Julio's kids and wife
>>222760812All of the characters are cunts
Hell or High Water is still good
>>222760634There is no information about his past other than that he was a lawyer at some point and his family was killed by the cartels. He could have been ex military before changing careers, also the incident probably happened years ago when he was a lot younger, a lot of time to train.
>>222760634It's ambiguous how long ago alejandro was a prosecutorWith help from a bunch of spooky guys like brolin's he could reasonably do it in an undisclosed amount of timeThat and people were familiar with har ey dent being conveniently super competent at combat in The dark knight
>>222761108>It's ok to point a gun at hard-working small town employees of a bank and terrorize and threaten to shoot them because income inequality
>>222760513>Am I supposed to believe some softboy lawyer got his wife and kid killed and then somehow turned into an elite operator CIA hitman?shooting people isn't hard. even kids can do it
>>222761035How is Kate a cunt? She's a morally upright person who was too naive and weak to fit in.>>222761214Yes. Bankers deserve death.
>>222761168At some point, Kate also concludes the he works for a Columbian cartel. So, maybe after resigning, he underwent some funny training in a summer camp for Sicarios.
>>222761288who just so happens to be the only woman in "a man's world." honestly, make the character male, and don't invite this unseemly chauvinistic social commentary
>>222760484>>Alejandro spares Julio's kids and wifeIs that why in the shitty sequel/prequel not directed by Villeneuve he saves and protects the cartel boss' daughter? Sheridan was pissed about the changes and tried to redeem the character?
>>222761429>who just so happens to be the only woman in "a man's world."nothing wrong with that
>>222760513>he fell for the "tier 1 elite" memespecops are nothing but hyperviolent psychopaths with terminal gear acquisition syndrome
>>222761525but clarice has a heroic ending whereas kate gets dunked on by every male character and villenueve just leaves her cucked
>>222762075they're at least moderately intelligent and extremely physically fit and trained in combat and violence, don't be a tard
>>222760484Every one of those points makes more sense or is a better judgement call in the movie version.>>222760513Definitely not by 35
>>222761429>don't invite this unseemly chauvinistic social commentaryThat doesn't abide by post metoo Hollywood's published rules necessitating female and minority leads. You can't have it both ways.
>>222760634He probably watched some youtube videos
>>222760634What does he do that makes you think he's a tier 1 operator?
>>222762141>they're at least moderately intelligentlmao
>>222762433t. fatty bombatty >>222762394He is rolling around and keeping pace with the delta guys, he is frequently breaking off on his own to handle stuff, the movie sets him up as a bonafide operator not a random shooter
>mouthbreathers worship Alejandroshould be put down like a rabid dogthere be no pausehe kills women and childrenoh does he have a sob story why?tell it to the devil, bye
>>222762454>t. Dick Marcinko Also, learn how to fucking use >t.You've essentially just called yourself a fatty by not greentexting it
>>222762460but: the women knew they were getting into the game, and the children are actively being groomed as heirs
>>222762847You don't need to greentext that, retard

>>222762460good morning
>>222760586So how did he ended up a cia hitman? Did he had a similar background or something?
>>222763082You mean DOD advisor. The CIA uses him as a mercenary fueled by a personal vendetta and familiar with the local fauna. His combat background isn't revealed.
>>222762940Yes you do you fucking idiot, what do you think "t." means?
>>222764573Beyond election tourist levels of newfaggotry lel
>>222761524Good theory. Making Alejandro kill the family is the whole point of the movie, those guys are fighting fire with more fire. As much as I hate Villanova I think this is a terrific movie he was made to direct.
I would like to see her raped, when she wasn't bogged. >>222762111That is the whole point. With glowies you lose.It's fitting to have a woman in the role, it's fitting they would chose a woman to trick and control
>>222760513He's an assassin a 'sicario' if you like. He's not really training to do cross country hiking or whatever just Sicarioing.
>>222766134Sicarios are just teenage monkeypeople that roll up and blast the rival cartel with their shitty pistols and/or AK47, Alejandro is clearly a trained operator
>>222764688You absolute cretin, I'll give you a hint: "t." doesn't mean "you are". If you want to use it in that way, you have to quote text it because it's a fucking signoff you stupid newfag
>>222766648I've been here longer than you and I've also used the website where the t. came from, try again giganewfag
>>222766883>blah blah blah I'm a retarded gorillanigger newfag>t. turboniggerKeep yourself safe!
>>222766934like a typical jeet you have failed to assimilate to the dominant culture and instead shat all over it with your retardation. Grim!
>>222761214The point of Hell or High Water was that Tanner refused the concept of anything at all holding dominion over him.
>>222760484yeah that's nuts, i just knew about the exposition dump on the plane. it was deakins and villeneuve and the actors saving that piece of trash
>>222760513For some reason I thought the lawyer thing was a euphemism, and he was a hitman from the start, working for the Medellin(?) initially. I've forgotten why I thought that though.
>>222760634It's not rocket science to turn a civilian into cold blooded killers anon. That's like 90% of being a green beret, sneak into shithole countries and teach them how to become as destructive as possible as frictionless as possible. It's actually probably easier to train civilians from zero to hero than actual soldiers because operators are so unconventional it's easier to mold spics who can't even grasp the fundamentals than some PVT Burger.
>>222766134>>222766201he got on the CIA's radar and they trained him up to take over the cartel and run it the way the CIA wants it run. this is pretty explicitly spelled out in the movie with the stuff about "medellin" - they want alejandro to unify or wipeout the other cartels and make them easier to control
>>222767616>For some reason I thought the lawyer thing was a euphemism, and he was a hitman from the start, working for the Medellin(?) initially. I've forgotten why I thought that though.Because that's how it's presented. He's presented as a drug lord's thug from first second and only gets worse.The entire movie has so many stupid plot holes and misrepresented things and just moon logic.
Villeneuve miraculously made a great film out of the absolutely generic cheesy script that is Sicario. If it wasn't for Villeneuve even the first Sicario would've ended up a generic laughable joke like Sicario 2.It's astounding how much exposition Villeneuve pruned or just simply turned into visual storytelling in the actual movie.The script starts with Alejandro having a generic monologue about revenge/justice, but Villeneuve chose to start with that raid instead cutting the entire cheesefest monologue part out, which in return made the actual introduction to Alejandro in the film ten times more powerful, mysterious and engaging. If the same script was given to any other whatever studio director Sicario would've been just a yet another beyond generic spic drug flick no one remembers.
>>222760484>Villeneuve did save that movie.this triggers the chud
>>222760484Taylor Sheridan is a terrible writer
>>222760634>it still doesn't explain how a random middle aged lawyer turned into a tier one secret operatorPresumably, if he was a good enough prosecutor to piss off the cartels, then he was somewhat smart. It’s hard to make stupid people smart, especially if the stupid individuals are genetically inclined towards intelligence.It is much easier to take a smart person, who is in at least reasonable shape, and to put that person thru physical exercise and training to make that person a decent killer, especially if that person is motivated by something like revenge, and wants to be trained to get revenge, and if you have a proper group of military experts to train the smart individual. Basically, spooks find a guy who wants revenge, train him, test him on dome minor minor kills, see if he holds up psychologically, and then give him some more training if he does, or probably dispose of him if he doesn’t. Look at the stuff Tom Cruise has done with the backing and support of the military.
