Review of Sicario (2015) by Rose A — 05 Sep 2017

This is an odd movie to me. I think I liked it but I feel like I only liked it because the production value was high.

The cinematography, directing style, and acting is strong across the board.

However the story/ script itself is a little weak. You don't start getting a clear picture of what exactly is going on other than CIA black ops drug stuff unlike the last 20 minutes.

Emily Blunt's character is also ridiculously naive to the point where it undermines her character. I did not believe she was the hardened drug house raiding badass from the intro that was in the rest of the movie. Only her acting saves the character from being totally worthless.

So overall I liked it but with a tighter edited script, it would have been better.
