Sicario (2015)

This is a land of wolves, and you are not a wolf! 🐺 CAPD takes on the thrilling "Sicario" this week. We have cops and robbers and spies too in this multi-hyphenate thriller - but it's as dark as the come. Emily Blunt gives a career-defining turn as Kate Macer, a FBI agent pulled into a shady Government op to unseat the leader of the Sonora cartel. Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro support in turns equally menacing and charming. Easily the grimmest movie we've covered - stand by for a Jon Bernthal jumpscare. *This is a spoilercast and every episode is full spoilers* If you want to watch the Stephen Soderberg silent and B&W cut of Raiders of the Lost Ark - it can be found on his blog here: https://extension765.com/blogs/soderblog/raiders Listeners, I (Mike) edited out a 7 minute discussion about camoflage clothing patterns.
