Sicario (2015)
In Mexico "sicario" means hit-man
visceral drug trade thriller pulls no punches in its grim depiction of the cross-border traffic between Mexico and the States.
This time french-Canadian director Denis Villeneuve who gave the viewers a kidnap drama suspense hit international movie "prisoners". Now coming back to screen with a action crime flick.
Emily Blunt takes the role of Kate Macer, an FBI field agent plunged in the powerful world of a drugs cartel as well as she trying to make her way to get a better rank for herself. She delineates perfectly the emotional conflicts of a woman working with violence and corruption on a daily basis.
*picks from trailer* The opening sequence in which rows of rotting corpses are found in a home in Arizona belonging to the cartel sets the tone for the helter skelter ride to follow in which Villeneuve sustains the knife-edge tension without a blip.
Nobody is who they seem to be, least of all Josh Brolin who suggests that he may be a defence contractor although Kate and her partner (Daniel Kaluuya) believes he may be from the CIA.
Also emerging from the shadows is Benicio Del Toro as Alejandro, an enigmatic figure who is the sicario of the title - in other words a hit-man whom you never where he is going to turn up next or on whose side he will be.
Although the violence is wince-inducing it is never gratuitous in the context of this particular world, where human beings are completely dispensable.
it's basically a great action thriller movie. A must see
Mr. Robot (2015)
The horrors of society hide in plain sight
While Famous cable network like HBO, AMC, FX and show time often find themselves shows which gets all the attraction from viewers. Now Universal Cable Productions has got a show that will get attention. Now the channel get to deliver a great crime drama, Mr. Robot.
Created by Sam esmail, never heard of him since before this show came to light but i can really say he has taken TV industry to completely another level. Mr Robot is the first cyberpunk thriller series in the television history.
Starring Rami Malek, the series follows the journey of Elliot, a computer programmer working at a cyber security firm and playing the role of vigilante hacker. His life isn't normal when he interacts with living world around him due to anti social disorder.Elliott has symptoms of autism. He's brilliant, obsessive with computers and has no social skills But things start to change when he meets Mr. robot and joins his group (Fsociety).
*My Opinion*
After a disappointing year of 2015 for TV series. Sam brought this masterpiece show. When i watched it's pilot i hooked up with the show in no time. it was truly a jaw dropping episode for me. And you just can't blink yours eyes while this show is on. this show is taking social-media paranoia to the mainstream. After this series has shown the viewers hacking a social-media account isn't much hard for a guy like Elliot (Rami Malek). it might be offensive for few but this show is serving nothing but truth.
A show of it's time, Mandatory viewing for hackers or programmers or coders or developers or whatever. Don't just sit there go watch this show you dummy :D -peace-
