Ah, the lovely thing about Mexico is that when you see a lot of unmarked, blacked out, bulletproof Suburbans in a convoy you will never be certain if it’s a politician, a billionaire, or a druglord.

Honestly, Druglords need to go back to chromed out pick up trucks... it’s stressful not to know who is flashing their lights at you and if you should let them pass or if you should not give a shit.

It’s genuenly more common than you might realize. I should really film my commute once to try and describe it.

It was great seeing those Tahoes rolling along, like they were made to do. And that stuck-in- traffic scene on t he return trip was, well, you already used the best word for it: intense. Very well done.

On a more serious note, I... feel like I just watched a documentary . I must confess I haven’t been paying enough attention to the news to be able to really pick the movie apart, but I feel like it just schooled me on some dirty truths about US/Mexico relations. The line that really hit home for me was the one that goes “Until someone finds a way to stop 20 percent of America putting this shit up their nose, order is the best we can hope for. ” Damn.

I used to work with a guy from Culican. The real vatos drive much less conspicuous vehicles.

Oh, that is true. However, in Mexico City we only have the low level druglords that aren’t in any watchlist by the Feds or by the IRS (because deep down, what bother government the most is that they don’t pay taxes), so they can abuse of the relative peace here.

After all, I think Chapo was caught when driving a Sentra despite having a Mclaren SLR in his compound .

Right!?! It was heavy as fuck!

I read a review: that as a viewer you should be Kate. She’s “America” she’s an FBI agent and allegorically, that makes her a citizen and a representative of the govt. So her reactions to everything in the film should be yours as the viewer. Why am I here? Where is justice? What’s going on? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? And when she tries to “do the right thing” she’s shot in  the chest, used for her position to make things “legal” and when she pin points the evil and should kill it....she can’t. She allows the necessary evil to proceed. And why? Because she’s both powerless to stop and and complacent in its existence!

If you see three black, unmarked tahoes rolling down the road in New Mexico , it is the governor with her State Police entourage. Those trucks aren’t armored, though, or at least they aren’t armored beyond the small, light ballistic II or IIIA panels occasionally found inside the front doors of police vehicles here . The previous gov. used a Ford Escape hybrid (for political points for being green) , but the current one just uses an unmarked state police T ahoe.

Current mayor uses armored Chevy Tahoes escorted by v6 chargers and Ninja 650s.
Previous mayor used the same, but also a Mini E for pandering.

President uses an entourage of Suburbans with Red, white, and green plates that read MEXICO (I think sicario shows them), while cabinet members tend to be chauffeured around in Jeep Grand Cherokees (armored, naturally) and federal police chargers.

in Mexico City so many non government people have body guards that you can actually get a special plate for your bodyguard’s car. It’s also beginning to happen in the neighboring state.
