THE ACCOUNTANT with Ben Affleck and Anna Kendrick

Both movies plots are "we're going into Mexico to start a war between cartels." In the first movie we're take along that experience with them as they execute their plans flawlessly. This is essentially another iteration except their plans are foiled and they're forced to adapt. This isn't a direction issue, it's just not the best screenplay by Taylor Sheridan.

People can survive gunshot wounds anywhere. The bullet, the trajectory etc all matters. Headshots are not always deadly

The original script ended differently then the movie: * After Miguel jumps off the truck, he runs back to where he shot Alejandro and helps him by cutting his restraints. Alejandro watches Miguel run away. Matt saves Isabel - thanks to a beacon she has in her shoes - and kills everyone else, as we see in the movie. * Alejandro goes to take the car, as we see in the movie. He drives off to kill Isabel's farther, Carlos, restarting the beacon Isabel left in the car, to alert Matt of where he's going. Matt sets up a fake news report saying Isabel was killed, to lure more of the cartel to Carlos' place. This also allows Isabel to get a new life, and she asks Matt to start school at the University of Michigan. * At the cartel house, Alejandro and Carlos has a cool standoff and Carlos reveals that he knows his daughter is safe. Then a huge shootout starts, as Alejandro goes from one room to the next, killing all the cartel in the house. * Waiting to board her plane to Michigan, Isabel sees on the news that her family was killed, but she isn't sad about it. * Much later, Miguel has become a part of the cartel who helps get people across the boarder. On his way home, stopping at a coffeeshop, Alejandro is sitting at a table, waiting for Miguel. As in the movie, Alejandro says "So, you want to be a Sicario", except Miguel answers "No" and shakes his head, to which Alejandro replies "Yes, I am the proof" showing his face to him. Alejandro says "It's time we discuss your future" as the camera slowly zooms out, and the film ends. I wish they would have sticked to the original script. It showed that despite everything, Alejandro finished his mission. And the reason why Alejandro wanted to hire Miguel in the end, is because Miguel freed him, showing himself to have a good heart.

The last third of the movie got rewritten by the director, its why it gets weird at the end.

Desperately wanting a Part 3. The first two were amazing.

If you wanna stay on this train, I HIGHLY recommend Wind River. Same writer

The reason the Cartels are so powerful is that they own the Government.

yeah... the intro to this one, imo atleast, matched if not topped the first movie. I had that exact dumbfounded "holy shit, they went there" reaction lol

OUT OF THE FURNACE with Christian bale & Woody H. My favorite film

The girl who played Isabel was portrayed by the actress Isabel Merced. She's also in Madam Web, Sweet Girl and Transformers: The Last Knight. I thought I recognized her. Her face looked really familiar. And I agree with you as well. She's a phenomenal actor. I feel like she's one to look out for. I wouldn't be surprised if she continues doing action films for years to come. She's already acted with Benicio Del Toro, Josh Brolin, Mark Wahlberg, Jason Mamoa and Dakota Johnson. She's about to turn 23 this July. Just WOW.

I don’t get the hate for this movie. First one was phenomenal and I thought this one was as well. Super excited for the third movie I get some of the critiques and people wishing it was the same director. Just didn’t take away from my enjoyment, I was legit out of breath by the end of the movie

The way he handles business is not scary. We NEED these people. These people are what keep all of us safe and they do it for shit government pay just because they love their country. God Bless the people who do this kind of work every single day without being asked to do it.

I think it is a stand alone movie,rather than a sequel, not as good as Sicario but not a bad movie, there was rumours of a 3rd one with Emily Blunt returning….

Josh Brolin was rightfully impressed with Isabella Merced's acting in this movie, but she actually impressed me first in the ridiculous "Dora and the Lost City of Gold." She was able to deliver the silly dialogue (and even sing a song about digging a hole to poop in) with complete sincerity and commitment that I thought "This girl is brilliant."

13:53 That rapid fire technique is "bump firing."

14:09 that shot with the gun being used made the whole trailer

I honestly thought this was OK. it’s not as good as Sicario, but it’s still entertaining. I think it tried too hard to be more action-oriented.

Or SABATOGE with Arnold S. Probably his darkest film.

Think of the segmented story as levels of influence or degrees of involvement. It's a snap shot of how vulnerable people get absorbed into criminal activities. The young boy exhibited signs of regretting his choices (jumping off the back of the truck), after shooting Alejandro. But within a year he's fully committed to the cartel. I feel Alejandro is recruiting his replacement at the end. I'm also hoping for a third installment. Great movies.

Too bad this movie didn’t have the same director

First movie had better writing. One of the best directors working today. Best cinematographer of all time. Amazing score by the woman who also did Joker's score.

Now, watch Josh Brolin again in Hollow Man. It's another thriller movie for you.

In the first one people think Alajandro is water boarding the captured guy but it clearly shows the dry drain in the floor and the untouched jug of water. Alejandro was forcing his you know what in his mouth. SICK SCENE.

YES! I just watched your reaction to the first Sicario and was hoping you’d react to the second. Score! I loved this one. That opening scene with the bombs is insane! And Alejandro rapid firing that handgun is nuts. I’ll never forget seeing both of those scenes in theaters.

The coincidence was pretty solid. He and Del Toro stared at each other for several seconds and Del Toro's face is pretty disrinct. The first Sicario is about a successful mission. This one is abour a failure. And it shows how something so small can fuck up an entire operation.

People complained that Part 2 was not as good as 1, but they are two different films. The first was more of a procedural where as the second was a character study. Both brilliant. Taylor Sheridan is a brilliant writer. Good review by you two. Thanks

This movie was so good, different than the first with the approach, and what a dark and cold beginning ! The border, the attack and one of the best yet short special forces scenes

I was so happy to see this reaction of the sequel 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You should do Soderburgh's Traffic with Del Toro, Michael Douglas, Don Cheedle and Catherine Zeta Jones. Realistic view of four stories around the drug trade.

The movie worked for me because of Josh Brolin, Benicio del Toro and Isabela Merced's acting. The script doesn't convincingly support or earn the changes the characters make, but the performances make me want to believe it enough that my own head canon fills in the character development gaps.

I think the girl's situation was living in a mansion without either her father the cartel leader--or her mother who lives in the States. There are all kinds of staff attending to her--but she has no sense of family. This could have been better as a sequel. I still hope that with the closing there still may be another movie.

THIS is how you "negotiate" with terrorists.

Isabella was so good in this. Didn't even realize at first that this was her younger.

29:52 I love Josh Brolin’s character in this 😂

I liked this movie because it shows the absolute mess the war on drugs (and human trafficking) often is. A movie about that whole chaotic world needs to also feel chaotic. You are not wrong in your analysis. But the performance from the young gril is remarkable. She is unlikeable in the beginning as the entitled daughter of a drug lord, but you build empathy for her as you see the world she is a part of. I think it's very intentional that the story with the girl ends because if she is put in protective custody, she would just disappear. And the ending (to me) is that they were recruiting the son of the drug lord to be an informant or insider.

Maybe it's just me but I don't think the thing with the kid was that coincidental or overly convenient. He clearly saw Alejandro at the parking lot and they stared at each other for a good while & if you're a teenager you're definitely going to remember almost getting hit by a car while a dude stares at you somewhat menacingly. Then a little later while you're in Mexico you see a dude who looks eerily similar to that guy and you're trying to prove yourself to the cartel. You'd be suspicious and say something as well. The kid was pretty observant and that's probably partially why Alejandro sees something in him and ambushes him in the end of the film

that gun move with that finger is the arcade style😅😂

I'm a big fan of these Sicario films. I wish they'd do a lot more of them.

Fun trivia: Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro also appeared together in Avengers: Infinity War in the same year as this movie.

Yes! Love this sequel! Thanks for reacting to it

The soundtrack to Sicario 2 was made by Hildur Guðnadóttir. Icelandic cellist, producer and composer. She also did the soundtrack for Joker and Chernobyl. She is amazing ❤ Wind River movie must be next! 🙂

The opening scene…NOW IMAGINE WHAT’S COMING ACROSS THE BORDER SINCE 20JAN21…IN THE THOUSANDS. We are now one of those innocent people in the market. REALITY…😳😳😳

Didn’t even have the desire to watch this movie until I saw the comments on your reaction to the first one. Just got done watching this so I could now watch your reaction to it. Personally, I thought it was pretty good. Maybe didn’t have the same amount of high-stakes decisions and gore as the first one but I didn’t mind. For its storyline I thought it was good. I only wish we could have gotten Isabel seeing/finding out that Alejandro did actually survive. Felt like she started to feel safe with him and realized he most likely wouldn’t hurt her.

Love this movie, such an interesting story to watch Alejandro’s story. Can’t wait for the next one

I like Alejandro's theme song. The one you hear at the end scene

depends, world war 2 my grandfather was yelling back to his platoon about an ambush, when a bullet went thru his check and out his mouth.

The Boondock Saints. They prefer a completely dark sky when they jump. The also do HALO(High Altitude Low Opening) jumps. They call them "coyotes" they're paid by the cartel to lead people across/to the border.

this one is not directed by Denise and you can tell

2018 was a great year for Josh Brolin. This movie, Avengers: Infinity War and Deadpool 2 not only were premiered few weeks apart but also they did very well in the box office .

So the reason why this movie isn't as well received as the first one is because the first one had a deeper message. Yes they both have really good action scenes but the sequel is surface level and people really didn't like the abrupt ending. I think Sicario is better as a stand alone movie than as a part of a trilogy. Now the 3rd movie, if we ever get it, could tie everything up nice and neat and bring closure, but it has its work cut out for it.

The daughter knew what her dad did, that's why she told the head master to go ahead and kick her out, because she knew he knew who her dad was. That's why she said she didn't think so

People get shot in the head and live. I know of one case where someone tried to commit suicide by putting a shotgun in their mouth and it only resulted in them having to spend the rest of their life living with half a face.

I loved this one. Its a different story. It was not a coincidence. They are two stories that converge. They showed you the American politics to show you how messed up this is. These movies are more episodic and completly different. Stories. I cant wait for the 4th one.

53:52 on that note, the movie "Shoot 'em up" is another fun one to check out :)

The story wasn't "a mess" it just wasn't what you expected it would be. The story they told made sense.

Loved your reaction as always. You should watch society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one. If you do watch it I recommend the original language with subtitles, the acting was amazing

Gotta check out the other taylor Sheridan films and shows, they're amazing! Wind river, hell or high water, yellowstone, 1883, 1923, mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa king

'Harsh Times' starring Christian Bale as an ese from East Los Angeles!

You guys are my favorite movie reaction channel.

Think of it as different book of Al and Matt, rather then the next chapter. Ist was Sicario: hit man which was Al 2rd is day of the soldier which was Matt questioning his role and the 3rd will be Sicaro: Capos - which is bosses. So, I guess we will final get to met Carlos Reyes 😊 - just me guessing

The cop from the first season of Sons Of Anarchy wrote these movies. This is NOT a sequel.

This movie is just the long form trailer for the Third, where there will be War

I highly recommend you watch - The Red Sea Diving Resort (2019) & The Kingdom (2007). Great reaction.

You both should check out lawless, public enemies or gangster squad 😁

Hello guys! This one it’s kind of difficult to understand,but still good action and tension; I think this one will be a strong link to the next Sicario 3 I already heard it’s on the way; but being a fan of the first one and Josh movies and of course our puertorican home boy Benicio I loved this one too. 🙋🏻‍♂️

Sicario and Sicario Day of the Soldad are my two favorite movies over the past 20 years. I've seen both more than 20 times, each and am wondering if a 3rd movie, which has been delayed by studio complications will be made.

I really hope you guys watch Shogun soon. I'm sure you will both absolutely love it.

More people should handle business like that, especially with cartels and terrorists.

This isn’t technically “Part 2,” since Dene didn’t direct it. Same characters, but still, different behind the camera; and it’s not a continuation of the last movie in the way you want it to be.

The movie felt a bit odd, but the action and anticipation was great! Love the reaction, you two are just pure entertaining. 😊

You should work in Wind River and Hell or High Water, both born of the mind of Taylor Sheridan (Sicario and TV Yellowstone). These round out Sheridan's Modern American West trilogy. Both are world class gut punches. They ain't many happy endings in the modern American West.

Sicario 2 was okay but there is a Sicario 3 in the works that Taylor Sheridan has written. I don't know if Denis Villeneuve will be involved but I don't think he's directing it. Good reaction guys.

I was wondering when you would react to Sicario glad you did and I live down in South Texas in Weslaco, Texas 10 minutes from the border of Mexico and 10 minutes trom McAllen😁

The soundtrack is sick. I have it on when i play ghost recon 😆👌

You guys should watch Act Of Valor very similiar movie and was disturbing stuff in that

I prefer this movie. I think its possible the kid could recognize the guy. Same screenwriter. There was no coincidence. The story was following the boy -- he crossed paths with Alejandro twice near the border. So?

This is a “drop off the cliff” sequel. Rushed script, and different director. (First director, DV, had other obligations)

'no rules today sport'

i really liked this movie. You guys are thee best reaction channel out there and the last original one too. So many fake reactions out there where people are saying that they are seeing a movie for the first time and is total BS. I am probably one of ya'lls biggest fans

I actually like this one better than the first one. It’s obviously set up for a third movie and don’t understand the hate as others have commented. I’m sure the third installment will tie everything up.

it was a mess but i always felt it was supposed to be a mess. everything after the shoot out with the police was not part off the plan and everything went to shit after that which i feel is pretty realistic off how something like this would go everything goes according to plan until it doesn't

Pretty cool move with a finger huh makes it act like a machine gun love it

I usually bail when I hear reviewers talk about what does and doesn’t seem real in a story..Heck..if I wanted 100% real I could just hang out downtown, in my city…I guess you guys want some true kills?..Most stories we see in movies are based on degrees of truth….Men putting these type of crime scenarios in play in 2 hrs , can’t be actual….but that’s me..I just want to be engaged for that 2 hrs….

Details aside, both movies are great. Now, details in, yes the story for the second one was a bit less intriguing than the first one. I’m not gonna lie I was a bit upset too being left like this and no talk of a third…either way, performances by literally every actor including the cartels and backround ppl were amazing…really felt real and alters your feelings and body temperature watching these lol

Hey, I apologize if this has been asked a million times but what headphones and earbuds do you guys use?

Question, have you guys watched "Act of valor"? If you guys liked sicario 1 and 2, you might like this one. Love your channel and great reaction. ❤❤❤

Star Wars!! Empire Strikes Back?.. Eh? RETURN OF THE JEDI!! they needed the third film, desperately

Watch “Hell or High Water” same writer of Sicario the first one.

Fragmentation grenades don’t burn.

I felt like the movie declined without Emily Blunt. Not bringing her back was a HUGE mistake!

Nikki and Steven, check out The Hunted, with Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro.

Supposedly there will be a 3rd movie

Have you watched Generation Kill? !

Thnk u🙏🙏🙏

i recommend you to watch brazilian movie 2010 elite squad the enemy within 2. the no.1 not so good, you can skip for that.

You Guys need to start stretching the screen out a bit and put it in the centre. Love your content but picture placement and size needs work 💚👍✌️

I just see the end as a setup for a third movie., I don't feel its a cliffhanger. If he wanted to kill the kid he could instead he said lets talk.

you gotta watch the movie SISU. You'd love it.
