the whole first act of this movie is Oscar Isaac asking his friends if they got his text message :(
hollywood has taken The Chain - Fleetwood Mac hostage and wont let it go until we start to like ben affleck again
hrrrrnnggh catfish, i'm trying to sneak around but i'm dummy thicc and the clap from my ass cheeks keeps alerting the guards
Chandor's not subtle about reconfiguring his black ops bro heist movie into a condemnation of American hegemony (although it's interesting that he either fails or simply doesn't have time to really tie that to narcotraffic) and its failure to take care of its soldiers. Come in expecting a bullet-riddled action film, come out with suspense procedural about just how you move -- literally -- almost three tons of cash. Hardly a gourmet meal but still a hearty and delicious one, and I'm a sucker for this kind of tactical action.
oscar isaac is 5”7 because all his height is concentrated in his dumptruck ass
real bold of netflix to assume that I can tell charlie hunnam and garrett hedlund apart
starts out as a pretty typical dadcore shit; the drunk, divorced hunks in jeans and belts and digital watches going "sir, SIR, i have tactically ascertained the op" to metallica's for whom the bell tolls, but about an hour in, after they've done the war crimes and stolen the absurd amount of cash from some latin american warlord, the film transitions to a borderline slapstick comedy as they try and figure out the physical process of moving it back home. a bit too sincere and action-heavy imo (every time a chase/shootout happened i kinda wished this would go Southern Comfort horror instead) and i think the strained emotions are a bit out of these performers' league but honestly it almost…
Edit (06/09/2021): yes, I have since revisited Sicario.
High tension bolstered by sleek camerawork and incredible sound—think Sicario, but greener. And rainier. And a lot more gunfights (all superb, at that).
We’re treated to thicc Affleck who’s in top form, delivering a morally complex character that’s surprisingly good; Oscar Isaac, suave and badass as all hell, sporting a sprint and demeanour that would make Tom Cruise think twice. Oscar as an action lead never crossed my mind but he’s clearly a natural.
It’s a ton of seriously well-made fun. Rallying the old gang for one last job has been done to death but rarely by a talent like Chandor, and very seldom with a cast of this dramatic range.
