The Verdict Director's Cut

This matchup has 16 votes. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.

A margin this large isn't Dune being twice the film — Sicario is close to perfect at what it attempts. It's that the epic offers no resistance. Sicario is built to make you uncomfortable, to withhold and unsettle, and a film designed to unsettle will always lose some voters who don't want to be unsettled. Dune is built to overwhelm, and being overwhelmed is something almost nobody votes against. The spectacle gives you nothing to push back on; it simply rolls over the comparison. So a lopsided count here isn't a ranking of craft. It's the difference between a film that wants you tense and a film that wants you amazed, in a contest where amazement wins easily.
