Review of Sicario (2015) by Christian S — 12 Jun 2016
Production is top-rate, but some aspects of story are weak. Eg., surely Kate (FBI) would be aware why Matt (CIA) needed her along. This was.
Obviously withheld to add an extra element of suspense, but it is really a trick and probably like Kate, we don't like being fooled!
SPOILER ALERT.
Later, I read a review that said the film is wholly pessimistic. This is very true. Kate (Blunt) is outmanoeuvred at every turn and is unable to fight.
Back. We are left feeling helpless - that government cannot do anything except play outside the rules. And all that was really achieved was vengeance.
