“Connor O’Malleys best work yet”
Lol, lmao. Ignoring all the drone stuff (GRAVITIC PROPULSION), why would the DEA be in a position to help cover up US warcrimes in Afghanistan?
poppy trafficking
Because the strikes were on supposed drug facilities, probably
Because a lot of the most violent sociopathic war criminals from that war also ran drugs? Just a wild guess. But nothing in what I said is false.
DEA can also requisition special forces for things like raids into Mexico or assassinations in Columbia. Usually the DEA has its own personnel, sometimes they’ll work with groups like Mexican federales, but if they think they’re up against experienced/well-equipped cartel members, they’ll call in special forces.
Oh yeah that Sicario movie had some of that shit in it right? Now that I think about it I vaguely remember a lot of media that featured this wonderful crossover episode type beat.
Sicario specifically had the FBI being unknowing patsies that the CIA used to avoid the whole “can’t operate on US soil” thing, which they would definitely never just ignore.
Ah that’s right. Such a transgressive film. (lol)
Was the sequel any good? I like watching trash movies and getting mad at the imperialism sometimes.
I just watched the sequel the other day and it’s an entirely different film from the first. It was basically going to be its own thing with a lot of the crew from the first movie, but yeah the studio interfered and wanted them to turn it into a sequel. Antonio Banderas is practically playing a different character altogether.
o word he’s still in the sequel tho? I have had a crush on him for about a thousand years.
Haven’t seen it myself. It has most of the same cast, but the writer said the studio butchered his script, and Villeneuve is replaced as director by a guy called Stefano Sollima. Sollima apparently directed a film called ACAB in 2012 so maybe the politics are good? I’ve heard there’s a bunch of action schlock though so idk.
Ah word. Yeah idk either. I feel like there’s a reason I gave it a miss, probably dunked on via podcast or something. Not like the original wasn’t but it was pretty much zeitgeist saturation and hard to miss really.
I think I’ve seen ACAB but fuck if I can remember anything about it.
