I was considering Hitchcock. I just haven't seen enough of his movies to draft him. Had to go with someone I love.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The two i was struggling with against Sicario were Arrival and Hanna. I don’t think enough of you here probably saw Hanna, which is a shame

Voted in every match now. The one I was thinking of earlier in the thread was Ello. He had the lead in my book. Not sure if he finished on top, although he has a good team for sure.

I agree, but a remake also has the potential to be really hacky in this case.

Really wanted to pick him, he's one of my favorites currently out there, but I didn't think he had enough volume to justify picking him. High hopes for Dune later this year.

The underground stuff is too corny for me, but it has one of the best endings ever.
