I've read the script and I don't read that as sequel bait... Maybe I'm reading it wrong or maybe they changed it but him saying "lets talk about your future" and the way it's described in the screenplay sounds like Alejandro is gonna to kill the kid... not train him or whatever people think it means

 

 

"Anything but victim negotiating how to survive with his killer ... "

This is how the script describes it after Alejandro's last line.

 

They completely changed the whole third act from the script, including the ending, without even changing the lines in the final scene.

 

The kid deserves to be killed in the final movie, it was very dumb and complete nonsense that Alejandro, instead of revenge on him, offered him...a job for a sequel?! WTF?!

It's fascinating how change of some visual details can completely change the meaning of the scene without even changing the lines or how scene plays out. But not in a good way in this case.

You loved it for the same same reason you liked the first film?

Really weird ending.. honestly I'm shocked test audiences didn't red flag it enough to make Sony cut it cause really, wtf.

Just got back. Really solid. Not as good as the first. Felt it ended really abruptly, especially after reading the script. I was actually shocked where they left off with Josh Brolin's character as opposed to what the script has. Brolin and Del Toro were awesome. Action was visceral and well shot. I just kinda felt it wasn't a solid whole like the first though. Still good and would be really excited for a 3rd film. Fingers crossed it does well enough. And yeah the end was eh. I liked the way it ended in the script but yall are right... they really changed it in the finished film and it was just kinda weird and not as satisfying

not looking good for my 18m prediction.  maybe it I saw it first, then I would have gone with 17m instead.

Spoiler

I wonder if they shot any of the scripted ending...i.e. Alejandro making it to Reyes' compound, Brolin getting roasted for rescuing Isabela instead of killing her and then her being placed in witness protection

Now that I think about it, I would've rather seen a prequel about how Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin came to work together. Also I still have no idea what Josh Brolin's actual job is in these movies lol

That's probably by design.

My best guess is Jason Clarke from Zero Dark Thirty.

That's wonderful little line in North by Northwest that sums this kind of stuff up well.

 

Roger Thornhill: You're police, aren't you? Or is it FBI?

The Professor: FBI, CIA, ONI... we're all in the same alphabet soup.

What did you think?

 

I loved the first one. The reviews online are so much worse, why is that? That's the only reason I haven't bought a ticket yet.

saw a review that called this "the true detective season 2 of movies" and that sums it up pretty well. i REALLY LIKED true detective season 2 though, so this was good.

Yes, Jimbo approved.

 

If you like Brolin and Del Toro you'll like this movie.

[DMan7]

What a dumpster fire.

[TomCruiseTop]

Thought the first was a masterpiece. This wasn't the same tier, but still great.
