The tale of a morally compromised CIA agent ( Josh Brolin ), who teams with a Mexican associate ( Benicio del Toro ) and a plucky young agent ( Emily Blunt ) following some gruesome murders on this side of the border, it was the kind of stark, uncompromising movie that created a nearly unbearable level of tension and suspense with each passing moment. It was also the type of movie whose world was rich and expansive enough that it practically begged for a follow-up. And that follow-up is finally here, in the form of " Sicario: Day of the Soldado ," a movie that reunites Brolin and del Toro (Blunt sat this one out), for a story of escalating violence in Mexico and the ways in which the American government both facilitates and reinforces that violence. And when things get out of hand, it's up to del Toro's Alejandro to make a very difficult choice. The less yo

Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?

Having learned nothing from  Westworld , Disney Imagineering went ahead and built stunt robots that can flip through the air, and probably eventually rebel against their cruel human masters.
