The Actor that plays Bottles. Jeffrey Donovan is one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood. No matter what role he plays. He always puts in a solid performance.
I like how in Sicario he first shows up looking all nerdy with those birth control glasses and all, and a while later he butchers a car full of cartel hitmen in cold blood with an M4A1
Harry Potter after Deathly Hallows. Harry gets incarcerated for getting drunk on butter beer and hitting on Professor Mcgonagall when she was taking a shit. He gets the name Bottles for stabbing a CO in the eye with his glasses. When asked why he did it, Harry said: I was thirsty and his eye looked like the top of a bottle of Butter Beer. Wanted to pop the top.........
The guy who plays Bottles (Jeffery Donovan) also played as one of the Delta Force guys in Sicario who also wore thick black frame glasses. Dude knows how to rock those glasses.
The vernacular all of you legs are searching for is CAG. An acronym for _combat applications, group_ It is colloquially, referred to as ‘Delta force’ or ‘The Unit’ and its members have the title of *operator* under the umbrella of JSOC. _Joint special operations command_ I hope this clears everything up for you ladies.

'Shot Caller' is a movie that gets better with every watch. It's old school, grounded, and clever. The interactions are so loaded with subtleties, it's awesome.
@@user-cr3ti1vj6f if you're DUI and there's an event with deaths involved, and there's blood sample evidence ( which there will be - the cops will get it from you at the crash site ) then no lawyer on Earth can save you from time. I don't care if he's Saul f*cking Goodman, it's a wrap. Yeh don't drink and drive - stay in, smoke, and watch cool movies instead 👍
I'm not talking about helping us with our computer skills, we need you to reformat and partition 93 external harddrives and install linux in 27 of them
insecurity is loud confidence is quiet. The quiet man is the most dangerous. When you see bottles fighting inmates during the riot it seems very out of the ordinary to the audience. when you see the quiet guy who some would call "nerdy or geeky" with glasses slitting throats. One of my favorite movie charecters
I mean true but also dude wouldn’t actually go to this kind of prison. With his lawyers, money, it being his first offence and an accident at that dude would be in a minimum security with nothing to worry about
@Chili Styles There were two explorers in a new world, they were captured by the local savages and tied up. The chief asked the first traveller "Death, or bun bun", the first man did not want to die so he accepted the "bun bun".... that night he was screaming all night in pain and suffering. When presented with the same choice the second traveller did not want to go through the horror so he calmly requested death. To which the chief held his staff aloft and yelled "DEATH BY BUN BUN !!!" .... You choose to be stabbed.... by a man meat stick... gobble gobble
PublicScoolFTW -I understand your point, but you may not be familiar with a very large county jail. Harris county (Houston) normally has 8-10,000 inmates at any given time. DUI or misdemeanor assault will get you locked up with murderers, rapists and all sorts of habitual felons that go through that revolving door on their way back to prison. Most of them said prison was better. Never saw or heard any rape, mostly because people are still trying to beat a case. It’s a real shithole.
Those lil head movements when bottles is talking....great acting by jd....gives him his own mannerisms and makes him mean every word he says..a serious man
When money said “ I’m not looking for trouble but I’m not taking any shit either” bottles immediately saw potential in him and I think it’s one of the dopest scenes of this movie.
Bottles rose to the top because everybody underestimated him until it was too late. Not a big or tall guy, not aggressive but has a quiet demeanor and certainly the glasses don't help. Being cunning is something that cannot be taught, it has to be experienced.
Bottles looks like he used to be like Jacob, sophisticated with the glasses and hair, but also looks like he has scars (scar on his face and tattoos). A human embodiment of intelligence on the outside mixed with the brutality of prison life.
@@harizotoh7 You're acting like "Nazis" have a mafia or something. The only way to get into the Aryan Brotherhood is to link up with them through prison, you don't just become one on the outside world.
I feel like his line “or you can go back to seeing how that lone wolf shit works for you” was a threat in itself. Like he would have made sure something happened to him if he had decided to turn down his “generosity”.
Wouldnt have had to do much really. As he said, safety was in numbers and all it would take is one of the other races to start crap with the mc and the whites would not be there to help him or hell, even a white person to start crap and the other would just sit there.
james harris that’s what I thought because I had a dude ik go to prison for beating the fucking shit out of a dude in a bar and some other shit and got locked up in techumsa and he said it was a lot like that.
L1F3 1NVAD3R man thats the way they've been doing him too since the succsessful completion of burnnotice either because he wants it that way or because theyre afraid if he gets more he'll take over as lead actor in hollywood!jeffrey donavan is by far one of the best the movie&acting buisness has to offer in a very long time!
All three guys in this (and many others) scene did a great job. Donovan is awesome (like others, I wish he'd had more of a role) and as always, Bernthal disappears into his part as well. Phenomenal movie. Phenomenal acting.
Gotta love how Bottles started the conversation: "yeah, the stokebrocker from Pasadena". You can tell Jacob was shaken by this piece of information, as he instantly lost his smile. That got Bottles the upper hand of the conversation and allowed him to manipulate Jacob further. It's the little things that make me adore this movie.
@Salt Cube I was the same way but decided to continue watching burn notice. Turned out to be a really good show. I became a fan of his from that show. He took it up a notch in this movie though.
And Jacob said he’d go solo, no one bothered him, and he was released from prison on good behavior in just 16 months. He currently is fixing up a lakeside cabin with his loving son and wife.
0:55 that "I'm not taking any shyt either" showed that he was built to be a leader, you can't teach bravery and you can't fake having balls in that enviornment, it's either in you or it isn't.
When I was a kid in Jersey. I worked at a gas station in Dunellen. One day, my boss, Vinnie, tells me to go to the bar down the road and get him a six pack of Heinekken. I walked in and they laughed at me. Guy says, what the fuck do you want? I said, a six pack of Heinekken. They kept laughing. I said, It's for Vinnie. They gave it to me and would not take my money. I was 14.
This was such a great film. Great dialogue. Thorny morality issues. So much crap streaming these days...usually bail 10 minutes in. This surprise film had me hooked for multiple viewings.
"You'll get your fucking hands dirty like the rest of us, or you can go back to seeing how that lone wolf shit works out for you. money man" -and thus Money is born
@@citomakaveezly damn bro im just saying its a good movie. And never once in my life did I see going to prison or being a stereotypical """alpha male""""" as anything cool or honorable. But I see your point of view in youths being persuaded to think that this lifestyle is cool when in reality its probably the worst thing to happen to anyone in the "free world"
@@citomakaveezly I think you watched different movie or at least you didn't finish it. It wasn't about glorifying prison life or gangs. It was more of a tragic movie how the prison and gangs suck you in and won't let you leave even after you get out. He started working for a gang in exchange for protection so he can get back to his family after being sentenced for "accident" and it turned out to life sentence for him and being separated from the family.
@@citomakaveezly Exactly, here in NZ, kids grow up into tryhards. Joining motorcycle gangs, but that's still okay, since they actually build gyms and somewhat help the community. But violence always ends in violence.
@@brandonhenry8271 I always took it to mean you did your main job during the day when the sun was out, and your extra job at night under the moon. I guess either one works!
Bottles is a serious dude. Love that character more than all of the others. He knew that Money had the potential to be very useful, but that he was still a fish with a White-collar mindset that had to be put to rest.
According to the director, Bottles was actually a former software engineer that went postal after the collapse of AOL. That's why he didn't want Money's help with his computer skills. Pretty cool tidbit of information that I just made up.
Notice how Bottles’ tone changes at 1:02. Very well-spoken and deliberate one moment, and then, very briefly, the prison accent comes out, and his body language becomes more threatening. Then he takes a second to regain his composure, and suddenly he’s very well-spoken and calm again.
Jeffery donovan is an amazing actor. First saw him in the show burn notice . I was like 8 yrs old around the time that show started. Very underrated actor.
1:15 I like how he immediately puts down the notion this isn’t comedy movie in prison, where the guy manages to avoid the brutal parts of prison by doing something wacky, zany, or helpful.
In juvenile hall we all lined up while we got a pep talk ( there was many of em ) they said "look to your left and right , statistics say 1 out of every 3 juvenile offenders will make it to state prison " , it used to worry me . Im 32 now , i got no more probation , no felonys as an adult , and ive never been to prison , and here and there i think about this kinda stuff and i take a couple seconds to thank god im not locked up .
Bottles is fucking terrifying, so calm for a killer. It's the hair and slick glasses combined with the numerous tattoos that makes his appearance so frightening
Following this, Money indeed decides to go back to the lonewolf stuff. He quietly serves his time and gets out, reunited with his wife and kid, and lives happily ever after.
That conversation with bottles is chilling if only because it shows how fast you can be manipulated and pushed into a situatuion you might want nothing to do with. Those guys in prison are masterminds at manipulating you into a position you can't get out of and if you think you're gonna out-think them, you're a fool.
Paperwork hooped ✅ Roll call done ✅ Wes Watson RU-vid video watched ✅ Shank down my pants ✅ 300 burpees done ✅ I think I'm now ready to watch this film
When bottles voice changes. A chilling yet, defining moment. 0:59 "The only thing we got in this here is our respect". Doesn't matter your background. It's mano a mano in here.
This movie has such a menacing overtone. There’s no hero, there’s no happy ending. “Fuck you, this my movie. If you don’t like it, tough shit.” -The screenwriter This movie owns two hours of your time and is unrepentant in what you think of it, afterward. The film, to me, is a new classic. I love it.
Agreed. Another Nikolaj film that was released in the same year gave me the exact same feeling too -- it's called Small Crimes. Watching these two movies back to back is a trip
Jeffrey Donovan was also in season 2 of Fargo and is in the movie coming out now with Kevin Costner. “ Let Him Go” playing a dangerous country hick. He’s an incredible actor, has 2 black belts and also speaks Russian. One of my favorites.
The people in this movie dropped the ball with the bottles character, his story is an easy prequel to this film and everyone seems to be on board with wanting to know his story
@@desmondkelly5178 Not really, he was the guy making other guys get killed just for a rep, and if they didn't fall in line, he had them do some really shady deal that would end with them either in jail and wanted dead by the Mexican cartels, or dead out of being a snitch, the guy was a well-planned villain.
@@kennethwilliams20 Now you menton it, I agree 100%. The beast should have been the dude with the keys to the yard, and Bottles should have been the mastermind running things in the back. Would have made a much better story and would allow for one hell of an "origins" movie for Bottles. Damn they did drop the ball there.
"Or you can go back to seeing how that lone wolf shit works out for you money man" I never caught that the first time I watched this Bottles gave Jacob his gang name.
Bottles (Jeffrey Donovan) should had a larger role this movie; movie was very good but if he would’ve had a few more season, it would’ve made the movie great IMO.
