Review of Sicario (2015) by Harmattan — 20 Sep 2015
Very good "Heart of Darkness"-type film. Not a masterpiece by any means, but it gets across its ideas through a well-paced plot and, overall, some great acting (Blunt being the weak link here by a good margin). Superb atmosphere and some truly, truly beautiful cinematography, although the "grittiness" is at times shoved down your throat. I found it very akin to Zero Dark Thirty.
Del Toro, Kaluuya and the guy from Burn Notice turn in great performances. Brolin does a great job as an off-the-grid loose cannon and brings home the comic relief.
