Ah how convenient it's the female protagonist who is absolutely useless, literally just a tagalong to make the operation legal, who gets seduced by a man, beaten up and almost killed by him, then has to be saved by a man who then later puts a gun in her mouth and sign away whatever usefulness to the plot she may have had.
Kate is just meant to show the decay of a goofy two show “I follow muh book” characters while del toros character shows the reality that these “bad” methods are the only ones to actually change stuff, and even then not by much
It's kind of amazing how the only character who saw through the glowie bullshit and tried to do the right thing gets reprimanded for it by every single person who've seen this movie
is it because she's a woman or do people genuinely support CIA extra-judicial operations?
then again having a depressed vengful dad be the glowie really helped skew the audience on his side, I wouldn't be surprised if the CIA funded villeneuve for the making of this movie
reporting the trigger happy CIA Black folk through proper judiciary channels like she was about to do near the end before that Hispanic put a gun to her throat until she signed the papers
I know people here think "moralgay" is some derogatory term, but there's nothing wrong with wanting to do the right thing, and especially if you're supposed to be enforcing the law.
she's unironically the only good person in this whole shitshow.
She would have blown an entire operation dedicated to controlling the drug trade, which impacts a heck of a lot more people. Sometimes operating in that moral gray area is necessary.
>controlling the drug trade
but that's all it was about, they weren't in it for "eliminating" the drugs, he says it outloud at one point in the movie about how the only way to eliminate drugs is to convince the consumers in the US to stop taking them (he's not wrong).
but the CIA Black folk solution was to simply take the profit for themselves at the expense of US citizen's addictions, basically becoming a larger cartel than the competition.
do you think it's "morally gray" for your country to be the one behind the drug epidemic ruining the lives of your state, your neighbors, your family....?
I mean if some shady orgaization is going to take the profit either way I'd rather it be the shady organization that dedicates a share, even if little of it, towards government spending (infrastructure maintenance adn social safety net).
The purpose of the law, in principle, is to protect the innocent. If it not only doesn't achieve that, but actually gets in the way of it then of course people are gonna support breaking the law to kill scumbags.

She had every opportunity to leave and report them after the border shootout which was illegal but she didn't because deep down she wasn't opposed to their methods until after she got used as bait and almost killed. There is no hero in this movie. The glowies are portrayed as little better than the cartels and Kate and her "good guy" Feds back home are portrayed as useless. If you declare a war on drugs, you force drug dealers to become soldiers and you need soldiers of your own to fight them. The movie is about Kate realizing she isn't a soldier and doesn't belong in the environment that US foreign policy has fostered. Whether or not she still believes that the CIA's methods are necessary or helpful at the end of the movie is irrelevant she just knows she isn't capable of participating.
Yes this is the only way to make a movie with a "female protagonist" good.
By making them an incompetent moralgay who gets dominated physically, emotionally, & psychologically by the based Men around her.
d
She was a side character though
Benicio del toro was the protagonist

Yes she is realistic as to how woman in LEO and the military actually are. Liabilities.

She was a moralgay
That got BTFO’d, making the movie great
she did nothing and got BTFO'd on every level by Benicio.
Day of the Soldado wasn't that bad tbqh.

There's no controlling the drug trade. The game was over in the 80s. CIA spooks are just playing clean up now, badly I might add.

The US has no business fricking around in other countries and playing world police.

She was fricking stupid. Like all females. Even the vice president was telling her it’s fine in one scene.
>pol woman hating is down to shitting on sicario now
Also it's Blunt. She doesn't like to do mary sue, the characters she plays need to have a humanlike flaw
she got got
She was the villain, you moron, not the protagonist.
No one ever claimed that.
>do what she's been told
>has no idea what's going on half the time
She's a pov character. I wouldn't call her a protagonist.
Yes this is the only way to make a movie with a "female protagonist" good.

>female protagonist is realistic and movie doesn't pretend she's independent, over capable or even capable
