Review of Sicario (2015) by Kirollos N — 19 Nov 2018
Sicario is directed by Denis Villeneuve, written by Taylor Sheridan and starring Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro.
In the lawless border area stretching between the U.S. and Mexico, an idealistic FBI agent [Emily Blunt] is enlisted by an elite government task force official [Josh Brolin] to aid in the escalating war against drugs. Led by an enigmatic consultant with a questionable past [Benicio Del Toro], the team sets out on a clandestine journey forcing Kate to question everything that she believes in order to survive.
A great fast-paced, dark and powerful story, with an amazing direction adding some very talented cast, but with a couple of flaws, this is how Sicario was born.
Let's jump to the flaws.. Emily Blunt's character wasn't so necessary, she had no goal but just going with the waves of this movie, but with her amazing performance, she convinced me -or I pretended being convinced- that her goal is cleaning the world of it's dark crimes, but for me, it's uneven.
Some scenes were so confusing, and there was nothing to give any hope, it's just dark.. from the beginning to the very very end!
These are the flaws of this movie, everything else was well made.. the breathtaking scenes mixed with amazing performances with great story.
Sicario is a great movie, and I'm gonna give it an A-.
Alright, next one is Sicario: Day of the Soldado, stick around. And thanks for reading my review, wish you like it.
