Also, one of the subplots in the excellent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babel_(film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babel_(film) is in Mexico.
Babel is by Mexican directors and writers. See the previous two in the triptych too.

- lmm 6y agoReally? I consider it one of the three worst films I've seen: just a celebration of excessive violence and gratuitous avoidance of due process/checks and balances, made to seem defensible only because of unrealistic movie-protagonist ultracompetence. It's a worse case of Tom Clancy syndrome than the man himself ever did.
- indigodaddy 6y agoSicario? Did we watch the same film? I mean sure, that's the content they are dealing with-- gratuitous violence and murder is entrenched in that world and they told a story in that world. As far as film-making and story-telling goes, Sicario will probably always be a top 50 if not top 20 film for me. Also encourage anyone to check out Villeneuve's older less known movies (most of course know Arrival and Blade Runner 2049), such as Prisoners, Enemy and Incendies-- all fantastic movies.
- vehementi 6y agoMight have meant Babel which is part of a trilogy?
- djohnston 6y agoIt definitely has some 'Murica in it, but to put it amongst the worst films you've seen completely ignores the cinematography and score which were both nominated.
