Most Memorable Antagonists In Film

Matt Graver

Josh Brolin’s character in the Sicario franchise is known for his willingness to do whatever is necessary to eliminate enemies of the states — with little regard for morality. Director Denis Villeneuve creates an intense web of good and evil by exploring the hypocrisy of US government and the immoral tactics used by the CIA to combat Mexican cartels. However, in Sicario 2: Soldado, Josh Brolin’s character Matt Graver displays a torn moral conscious and shows the audience that he may not be callous through and through. The inner tension within a seemingly objectionable character is what makes for a memorable antagonist. Brolin’s Graver is arrogant, unyielding and brutal in his methods yet we see in Sicario 2: Soldado that there may be more to him than meets the eye.

SICARIO 2 IS AVAILABLE ON DIGITAL DOWNLOAD FROM 22ND OCTOBER AND ON 4K UHD, STEELBOOK, BLU-RAY™ & DVD FROM 29TH OCTOBER 2018
