War cures all

Lee (Kirsten Dunst), Joel (Wagner Moura) and understudy Jessie (Cailee Spaeny) are journalists in the dystopian wasteland that is the America wracked by Civil War. In a heavily armed conflict with innumerable casualties no one is quite sure of who they are fighting and why. In a Nightcrawler (Jake Gyllenhaal) - like sequence the journalist trip use any means necessary to get a money shot of the to be assassinated President. Lots of brooding and gunfire and food for thought

So you want to be a Sicario?

Alejandro (Benecio Del Toro) and Matt (Josh Brolin) work at getting Isabel Reyes (Isabela Merced) out of the ganglands and into witness protection in America. A different cast and script but the grittiness is intact. Welcome to the amoral world of human trafficking now complementing drug peddling, coupled with the pound for pound CIA, in Sicario 2 - Day of the Soldado
