Review of Sicario (2015) by Scraper — 24 Jun 2016
The major problem with Sicario, aside from the boardroom bureaucrat banter, is that the main character is completely ineffective from every angle. She doesn't cooperate and falls into easy trap after easy trap for being such a best-of-the-best outsider.
The second problem that drags this one down to the ground is the dialogue. Conversations are mere snippets of sentences trying to relay the point that the operation is a secret...along with everything else.
The speaking parts just aren't very unique. It's kinda like something a video game developer would whip up to get to the heart of a bloody video game about, oh, lets say Mexican drug cartels. By the time it reaches action, it hardly feels justified.
It barely touches the variety and vision of Traffic for being so often compared to it.
