Watching the most recent presidential debates might have given Emily Blunt second thoughts about becoming an American citizen, but her latest movie, “Sicario,” a compelling, disturbing, and harrowing story about the Drug War set along our southern border, plays like a two-hour campaign ad for Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump.
Events open just outside of Phoenix, Arizona. Blunt plays Kate Macer, an idealistic F.B.I. agent losing more and more ground everyday in her fight against the stream of drugs and death coming across America’s criminally unguarded southern border. A suburban American home filled with dead bodies and an IED push Kate to a place where she’s willing to join up with Graver (Josh Brolin), a shady American operative from a — ahem — undisclosed agency who’s been brought in to shake things up.

Although it obviously was not the filmmakers’ intent, “Sicario” is primarily a cautionary tale about the completely unnecessary and tragic effects of an open border. As unsettling as anything else are the aerial shots that reveal what this country laughably calls a wall.
Our government is corrupt. The Mexican government is corrupt. Innocent Mexicans die at the hands of drug lords. Innocent Americans and brave law enforcement officers die at the hands of drug lords. And all for one reason and one reason only: the massive amounts of money that can be made by pouring drugs over America’s unguarded southern border.

After Blunt’s comments, I have been ready to boycott her movies. May have to see this one anyway.
Ping
I would not bet against an activist reporter asking blunt or del Toro or any of the other actors to disavow Nolte’s assertion, in an effort to discredit the “uncool” Republicans.
Doesn’t matter. If the movie is anything like the trailer, the message is loud and clear...”seal the border, build a fricken wall.”
“Sicario” is currently registering 93% on the tomato meter
Wow, Leftists making a “real” movie? Josh Brolin? (step son to Barbara Streisand). Unbelievable, Rooster. However, I’m trapped in the thought that that Miss Emily will take the proceeds and funnel it to La Raza, or Hillary, ......
Great movie. Who cares what the bimbo thinks?
I will never see this film. Unless Emily Blunt goes back to Limey land where she belongs, screw her and any movie she is in.
BTW.....I’m sure you’ve seen this....
2016 National Republican Primary - Trump 32%, Carson 12% (Ipsos/Reuters (Web) 9/26-9/30)

32%....Go Trump, go!!
I hadn’t seen that. Was that poll released today?
Watch it for free online and don’t put any money in their pockets.
Not me.
I refuse to put money into the pocket of anyone who hates my values and wants to destroy the foundations of my culture.
Blount can go to heck.
You should post it on its own thread.
