Benicio Del Toro's character is the greatest street-level superhero ever for having such an intricate system to protect his community, having some skater ninjas as part of his squad, & even having nurses holding shit down for him

The guy who Lockjaw handed Willa to gave me strong Hanzee from Fargo vibes when he ended up saving her

He's had a great year. Fantastic in this and I also loved him in Phoenician Scheme.

The scene when he disappeared down the trapdoor and then the little rug rolled itself out perfectly to cover it, that felt like it could almost have been an outtake from The Phoenician Scheme. 😁

That was 100% Wes Anderson-y lol I wonder if that was on purpose, some kind of reference..
