In my opinion the entire movie was a brilliant moment of tension. You never really knew when and where the violence was gonna come. I actually thought there was gonna be violence at the bus terminal when they exited everyone from the buses. It's like every scene was a build up for violence only to be held a while longer. Sicario was a masterpiece.

Great analysis. Just one thing more: the dog. You overlooked the barking dog that Villeneuve clearly and intentionally places in the rising tension. We can vicariously feel the day's oppressive heat as we feel the tension, and when a dog starts barking in a hot, tense moment, it's really irritating--and ratchets up the tension. This dog doesn't stop. Listen, we can hear it go on and on and on in the background, which heightens the tension in a auditory way without most of us being consciously aware of it. It only stops (or at least we no longer hear it) precisely at the point when the gang member gets out of the car. Why? Because Villeneuve doesn't want to overplay that card. The sudden spike in tension of the imminent shootout needs to be simple and pure. The barking dog at that point would only overdo and clutter the moment and thus diminish it. Brilliance that's easy to miss. But the overall effect doesn't miss it. And that was surely intentional.

Jeffrey Donovan is known for more than than burn notice. Hes not an obscure actor at all. And everyone knew he was " the guy from burn notice " You are talking like it's a surprise that he's in this movie but hes an actor. He read for the part and got it. Burn notice has nothing to do with it. And while he's ok in this its a pretty forgettable performance ( how could someone" shine" with 2 or 3 lines?). I think you just wanted people to think something about you personally. Like you put who he was together. I think you noticed him, said " that's the guy from burn notice " ( Mediocre show at best ) so you looked up his name on IMDb and created whatever point you are trying to make here.

brian milligan, mate, you really need to relax. I don’t know what’s up your arse but if OP hadn’t mentioned the show Burn Notice I would not have recognized Donovan. Not because he isn’t popular or well-integrated into the cinema industry, but because I, like many people (besides yourself of course) don’t see as many films or shows as I’d like to, and I don’t know many other things with Donovan in it. I feel like your attempt to turn a person’s random and positive comment into some pseudo-psychological rant shows more about your character than theirs. // Side note: Since I’m assuming you came up with all of this because OP said “The more you know”, I just wanted to make it clear that they were probably saying that in reference to learning of the fact themselves, I doubt they were attempting to up their self-importance.

The barking dog was brilliant, but the windows are probably my favorite part that we didn't get to go into. When they spot the two cars of the shooters on the bridge, there's a small sequence dedicated to everyone rolling down their windows and it's SO CREEPY. just the act of rolling down a window says to the audience... "shit's about to go down." BUT... if you go back and watch the whole Juarez sequence, you realize that Villeneuve TWICE planted windows next to danger in order to give us this association. Once when Alejandro looks out the window, sees the cops and is uncomfortable, and again when they're stuck in the alley with the sounds of gunfire, the guy in the passenger seat gets squirrely and rolls his down. So by the time we're at the bridge and windows are all rolled down... we're like. holy shit. Windows mean serious business.

Yes, the windows are critical, but the barking dog is like a master touch, something like the cherry on top of the cake and the windos are the cake, the cherry makes sence only if the cake is there and it's good.

Haha! Fair enough. I think we can both agree that Villeneuve is masterful in that he utilized both existing associations (barking dog) and his own newly formed associations (car windows) to ratchet up the tension and create a feeling of danger to support the sequence.

- Also, the guy shaking his head in a NO-NO way (Jeffrey Donovan) was brilliant. - What Alejandro (Del Toro) says in Spanish is also very good but it's a little bit lost in translation, I'm Mecxican, the words: "compa, compa" and "paisano". - One mistake not of that scene but of the whole movie, were the guns and equipment of the Delta Force team, also, Emily Blunt (in the bridge scene and tunel scene) does not follow correctly the protocol FBI tactics (for example, if all of your team gets out of the vehicle and you stay in, it's a death trap unless it's a tank or armored vehicle), they should had hire a consultant with current info regarding the procedures and equipment used today by Delta and FBI. But very good in general.

ogarzabello as for the equipment, you're probably right, only Emily is part of the FBI and Josh's team was CIA and Delta. and she didn't get out because she had no idea of what was going on and didn't trust anyone enough to listen to their advice, after all, she didn't know they were ACTUALLY going into Mexico. as for the windows, yes, but also if you fire a gun inside of a car, the windows will shatter due to the overpressure.

Can't disagree more with the statement that "the rest of the film never lives up to this level of brilliance". The Juarez scene was the best part of the film (personally I found the beginning of the scene, entering Juarez with the apocalyptic score, military-police convoy and the hanging mutilated bodies the most intense part of the scene). But there are a lot of very tense moments, the Kate's fight scene, the night raid in the tunnels and the scene at the drug lord's mansion with his wife and children there were very intense.

I'm not sure it's fair to say that the rest of the film "doesn't quite live up to this level of brilliance." I suppose it depends on what you were hoping to get out of SICARIO. If it's an action-packed thrill ride filled to the brim with tension, then you may end up being disappointed. But this film is about far more than action and violence: it's as much about the war on drugs as it is about the war on terror and the US's foreign policy. It's all right there in the tagline: "The border is just another line to cross." This implies how many lines have been crossed, how many rules have been broken, and how many lives has been ruined. The films ending is what really hits home, and where the true heart and message of this film can resonate with the viewer, but only if you allow it to.

To have brilliance, followed by more brilliance is a very VERY rare thing that only the best movies of all-time have achieved.

Sicario, for me, is on of the best films ever made. It's an utterly brilliantly shot, acted and directed masterpiece. It's the whole film is basically non-stop tension. The bad guys are bad, the good guys are bad, but doing it for a good reason. Kate is good, but bad for trying to do the right thing, sometimes you got to do the bad to get the good. And I love how it ended with a far from upbeat scenario. They got the job done, bending the rules massively and with a lot of damage but achieved their aim for just this part of the overall story.

The scene when they enter the tunnel is exactly as suspenseful as this one. The beautiful cinematography combined with the night vision effect makes you feel like you're right there. When the lead soldier pulls out his knife and enters the tunnel you just know something bad is gonna happen. I found myself squeezing the seat in the theatre in a near death like grip without even realizing I was doing it. Great video and I enjoyed the breakdown of one of my favourite scenes in film in years, but this movie was more than just this one amazing moment...cheers!

2:26 it’s actually “Compas! , compas!” , subtitles are wrong 😂, it reads “in peace” which in Spanish means “Con, paz” ; Spanish word “Compas” comes from the abbreviation of “Compadre” which means “Friend, Pal, Camarade”

when alejandro said paisano, as a latino i knew what was going on, the conversation turned psichological, paisano means brother of land in spanish, and the pressure of that poetry by another latino being on the recieving end, makes the talk on the blurry two sides of the conflict, is them and us, but by both being the of the same kind, there is where the line fades off,fun fact, benicio del toro is puerto rican, so his spanish is neutral more colombian like, i guess that is another plus,due to the fact that we can recognise someones nationality by accent so well, that we know when something is off

I feel what's really great about this film is how they make use of sound. There's a lot of nuances in them. When they're in the car, every little sound from the turn signal to bringing out their guns to winding down the windows to unlocking the door is so crisp it's like you're inside.

I'm so happy that i found this video. I watched Sicario last year and a couple months ago i saw Prisoners then went on a full Denis Villeneuve marathon, i adore Enemy, all his films are brilliant and the one thing i realized about him as a director is that he is a genius in building tension. I have never seen this in any other director.

The Horror of a Betrayal - Ecuardo's New Ownership Share, from "The Social Network" 5. The Horror of Cooperation - Latif is ordered to rape a child, in "The Devil's Double."

Just had a masterclass from the one and only Joe Walker, the editor of Sicario. They mentioned your video and asked for his thoughts on it. He responded that he had seen your video, and loved it, but said he didn't use schemes or statistics in order to know when to create the tension. The driving force behind the editing of the particular roadblock scene was just going with it and trusting on his gut to tell him when to cut to the next shot and to which shot. He thought it was wonderful though that you guys managed to find a pattern in the tension in this movie, but it wasn't as much thought through as you may think. That made me enjoy it even more, the fact that they didn't particulary plan the tension of these scenes but just did what felt good. That's just pure talent.

I think Sicario is a perfect movie. If they had more scenes like this in the movie I think it would take away from what made the "Bridge Scene" so great. Everything from the shock of entering Mexico to the unveiling of who Sicario actually is all the way to the shocking ending was done masterfully. I honestly left that theater stunned and shaking.

+Sebbettful "Con pas" = "With peace/I come in peace". "Compa" = short form of "Compadre" = informal "Buddy/Bro/Dude" (implying friendliness). Closest translation I can think of. When friends both have children and name each other as godfather to the other's child they go from being friends to compadres or comadres (co-fathers or co-mothers). I don't know what's hilarious though. It's easy to get the phrases confused when you hear it in this scene since they sound so similar and both fit the situation pretty well anyway.
@oscarmendoza7925

its "paz" not "pas" and "con paz" its not a common phrase in any state from mexico. its hilarious because you can clearly see how the translator does not know mexican culture at all. its like spanish subtitles that say "brasier" or "corpiño" when a frat guy says "bro" yeah, it sounds like "bra" if he says it in a douchie way, but common sense wont let you translate it like that i speak 4 languages, so it sometimes is funny finding stuff like this
