Sicario

In the sober halls of a US federal office near the border with Mexico, the imperturbable calm to which they are accustomed breaks agents after a raid on a drug gang that ends in tragedy. The chief of a particular command, with extensive expertise in any such offenders, seems to recruit the star FBI agent. Everyone talks about the enemy as a fearsome and terrifying opponent whom no person dares to call immediately, and stands as one of the vital harmful villains we've seen in a while. Their strongest weapons are the unpredictability with which it operates and its colossal dimension, as a result of the truth is that this opponent holding police at bay, not a human being however a city. They appear naked bodies hanging from the bridges of the town to welcome intruders. The approach and the presentation Denis Villeneuve makes prosopopéyica Ciudad Juarez "The Beast" is as sure as frightening. Sicario shows an impenetrable fortress dominated by drug barons and changed into a relentless battle for management of the market, a truth which causes about two thousand murders a year.

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

That's been the recipe for a 007 film for more than 50 years, and just like the classic vodka martini, it has been typically adopted, tailored, adulterated and simply plain ruined. "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" although, gets the international-espionage substances almost exactly right. So the Russians are the baddies once more (funny how these things go in cycles). There is a bit of brutal hand-to-hand combat, some barbed dinner-desk conversations with the accented villain and, of course, a climax with an enormous ticking time-bomb.
