For copyright reasons, full-length reactions don't include the show or movie footage so you'll need to have your own copy to watch along with me. Ideally, you'll need two screens or two browser windows. One for the reaction, and the other for the show you're watching. Using your mobile is also viable to watch one of them. 

As many different streaming services in different countries often play trailers or recaps before the show starts, the easiest way I've found to sync up footage is to find the first frame of the episode, generally right after the opening credits finish on your own copy (unless of course, the show has a cold open), then pause it. Don't worry, I show you the frame to look for at the beginning of each full-length reaction! Next, play the reaction and you'll see a countdown timer at the end of the intro and when the show is about to start. Press "play" on your copy when the timer reaches 0:00. 

A small (but muted) portion of the show will stay on the screen to allow you to properly sync up your copy if you need to adjust it. The easiest way to eliminate any small discrepancies between the two is to rapidly pause and unpause the video that's ahead until both are running simultaneously.

Great reaction as always. This one is basically a masterclass in cinematography and slow burn tension. Roger Deakins, the cinematographer, is widely regarded as one of the best to have ever worked in the business and was nominated for an academy award for this film. He later won that award teaming up again with Villeneuve on Blade Runner 2049. To kind of clear it up a bit, this is a long hard look at every level of the boarder crisis along the southern border of the U.S. as well as the brutality and how it affects both sides, most of which is comprised of drug and human trafficking which is ultimately run by the cartels. Stories such as the one shown in the opening raid sequence have actually happened in Texas and Arizona, and most of what's shown in the film is based on true events on both sides of the border. As for the ultimate goal, they weren't installing Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro) as a new leader, he was simply the assassin (sicario), with good reason obviously, for the CIA. They were removing one of the big players to consolidate power within the cartels to make them easier to track/manage/deal with. The casual nature of Matt (Josh Brolin/Thanos :) was to show just how numb to situation some people become when faced with that kind of brutality on a regular basis. Something also highlighted with Alejandro's last line of it being a "land of wolves now". Hope you enjoyed it and have a great week.👍 P.S. - Also, forgot to mention there is a sequel (Sicario: Day of the Soldado) for this film, and they did bring back both Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin, but it doesn't quite have the stellar team of director and cinematographer on it that this one did. Still certainly worth checking out at some point in your spare time though. While I personally didn't quite like it as much as the original, it's still a very entertaining watch.
