‘Sicario’ is an exercise in prolonged tension like few others. Every moment from the first scene to the last is suspenseful. The opening, a deadly raid on a drug kingpin’s safe house establishes a terrifying precedent: In this film, violence can erupt at any time without any warning, and no one and nothing can be trusted. Having thoroughly unsettled the audience, director Denis Villeneuve keeps viewers on edge with shifty characters, sudden bursts of gunfire, and the careful use of a persistent, pounding score. Remember the scene in Boogie Nights where Alfred Molina is randomly tossing firecrackers at Mark Wahlberg and John C. Reilly? Sicario is like that scene for two straight hours with no “Sister Christian.” It is intense.
Affirming fan speculation, “Old Boy” and “Men in Black 3” star Josh Brolin admitted that he was an official contender for the role of Batman in the upcoming Superman/Batman film, and also expressed his support for the new Batman, Ben Affleck.
After 10 years since the last "Men In Black" film, it took a lot to get the new MIB off the ground. Obviously, Sony pictures will deny that there were any problems with the production in the first place, though they did admit that there was a lot of tension on the set towards the end of the end of principle filming...
I thought the first "Men In Black" was really interesting and enjoyable, but nowhere near the amazing sci-fi adventure people played it out to be. Also, the tie-in song from Will Smith made me want to plug my ears with cement. A few years later we got "Men In Black II"...
