Review of Sicario (2015) by Marcdoyle — 17 Sep 2015
My movie of the year so far. Villeneuve's shots are beautiful, and his control of pace and tone are really unmatched these days. The intensity in some of those tunnel sequences and pursuit scenes is palpable.
Felt a little like the second half of Zero Dark Thirty. Blunt is obviously solid, but Benicio is over-the-top incredible. Probably his best performance in a now-long career. A great companion piece to this film is FX's "The Bridge", which touches on many of the same Juarez-related issues.
