Bill Burr always makes fun of the morons that when someone else is talking they just say, 'Yes!, Yes!' But this whole video I was kind of saying that. I hated Kate but can a 100% figure out why until I realized the same thing. How did she grown she would have said let me keep going with you on these missions.... but she did not

This is a psychological journey of 'K', as a replicant in a journey of self-discovery. It is both Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud in its views. The story of Blade Runner 2049 is transcendent: It is why the public had a difficult time accepting it, because it is a dark dystopia of a replicant slave.

I would strongly disagree with you. I think we can examine the conceptual difference between Kate and Matt/Alejandro in two parts. At first, the audience is introduced to the methods of the CIA team as a distinct moral opposite to Kate. Whereas Kate seems to have a deontological (ends are not justified by the means) moral view (which is not just her personal opinion, but something universal), Alejandro and Matt are consequentialist. This is communicated to the audience at several points (eg using Kate as bait), but especially in their use of torture to extract information. The ultimate goal they want to accomplish is set up to be the takedown is the takedown of a druglord to normalize the suffering of people both in Mexico, and the US. This is deconstructed in the second half of the movie, where it is revealed that Matt is cooperating with a columbian cartel in order to control the supply of drugs getting into the US. This does not change the conditions of the people living in Juárez, which is emphasized by the gunshots in the ending scene. In regard to Alejandro this is even more clear, because he is traumatized to a point where he kills people unnecessarily and in his pursuit of personal revenge, showing that the destruction of the cartels means nothing to him. (The name of the movie ties into this, because Alejandro has been conditioned by the cartel violence around him to be an emotionless murderer of innocents, just like the sicarios of the cartels). We see that the goal the CIA characters have been trying to accomplish were not their goals at all, and the success of the mission does not result in the improvement of the life of actual people, but the interests of certain individuals and institutions. Kate playing by the book is not her being stupid, because the book is written by her superiors, who approve of the mission, but her actually trying to adhere to the ideals these lawmakers are pretending to uphold. The movie tries to communicate, also in the scene where Alejandro confronts Fausto Alarcón that allowing people to act with a consequentialist moral code without restricting or controlling them in any way, opens the door to unnecessary violence and people abusing the lack of control to be able to achieve their own personal goals. Alarcón tells Alejandro that the cartel learned their ways from the Americans, ultimately calling him a Sicario.

Just like Matt said to Kate: "Until somebody finds a way to convince 20% of the population to stop snorting and smoking that SHIT, order is the best we can hope for." So, in my view, if Sicario does have something akin to a great evil, it's the people who consume drugs. Or, digging a little bit deeper, it's 'addiction'. Or 'human weakness'. You name it. The point is, as long as there is a consumer, the product will continue to exist, and the government won't be able to do anything definitive about it.

People nowadays being interested in "heroes that does not matter" because of either edgy want to be different or the more "deeper" thing about looking at the stories and being interested in ones that deconstruct/destroy the hero-messiah myth, because it's one of the things that nowadays is rather dangerous- a lot of dangerous mindsets and status quo support is born from belief that in reall life there will be a hero who saves us all. These sort of people are interested in protagonists who don't matter are interested in stories close to reality- where we "do not matter", at least on simply our own.

Good analysis. Ultimately, there is a lot of grey and Kate is not a classic villain but .... Kate is extremely self righteous and believes that only her sense of "rightness" is correct and must be followed. That was the part that was most annoying I hated everything about her character (it is actually similar to the stupid anti Israel college protesters who have a similar trait of thinking their naive understanding of a complex situation must be correct and must be followed) I also found Kate to be irritatingly anxious and obstructive - surprising that she lasted as long as she did on the team, despite her essential FBI role.

Her absolute refusal to wake up and smell the coffee got to be annoying. At some point I had to wonder what she thought she was proving. Sort of like her walking up and punching Josh Brolin ineffectively like she was going to just step up and handle it. But, she got humbled instead. Her approach to that problem was divorced from reality. And she went home basically the way she started: with her naïve (and totally self-righteous) head shoved up her butt.

For Kate to be the villain, we have to accept that helping one cartel gain power over another cartel is a noble cause. The screenwriter could have left out the detail that this is all on behalf of another cartel, but they didn't. It's to complicate the story that the Americans are the "good guys." It is just as likely that their actions will backfire as many CIA projects do. Most likely both the ends AND the means will be rotten.

Kate represents the LAW. The other guys think that the LAW is broken. The LAW is not broken but designed to create chaos and confusion. Before the Beast can dominate it must corrupt everything in its path. Everything is owned by someone; never forget that.

You make some really good points. How could she climb the FBI ladder in a city that is over run by cartel already.

Thats how people see the govt, out of touch with reality, naive and unwilling to do whats "right" instead of whats "legal". Good review.

I feel like this movie comments on the cycles of violence in much more complex ways than re-realizing the story by who is the hero or the villain. In fact, Kate is not supposed to be a central character at all, rather a stand-in for you (the audience). "You're in a land of wolves now, and you're not a wolf" is not supposed to villainize her either, it is intended to re-realize her perspective as it was always yours. The movie alienates you from the truth for so long, and I believe that in itself is a far more interesting take on crime vs. crime rather than here is the hero and here is the villain. Alejandro is the protagonist. Every human being in the story is at some point dehumanized. The war is inhumane. There is no answer.
