Meine beste Freundin, ihre Schwester und ich (2011)

Meine beste Freundin, ihre Schwester und ich: Directed by Lynn Shelton. With Michael Harring, Mark Duplass, Mike Birbiglia, Emily Blunt. Iris invites her friend Jack to stay at her family’s island getaway after his brother’s death. Jack’s drunken encounter with Iris’ sister Hannah at their remote cabin kicks off a revealing stretch of days.

“Where the original Sicario was carried by the suspence created by the contrasting naive FBI-agent Macy (Emily Blunt), the cynical CIA-agent Matt (Josh Brolin) and the vengeful nAlejandro (Benicio del Toro) as ruthless sicario turned against the drug carlets operating along the US-Mexico border, the sequal lacks this tension and becomes an analogue and rather predictable story. Decent acting performances, and attempts to recreate the original dark athmosphere cannot save the weak plot, where several interesting issues launched at the start are not followed through. This makes for a rather unfulfilling experience, despite hints of another sequal.”
