Tense and beautifully shot.

Rating: 9/10 (12 June 2020)

This film is intense. It's a simple concept that does not follow the cliche plot lines of the genre it's in. Sicario is unpredictable and dark. Something you could see taking place in the real world.
Roger Deakins is the cinematographer for this film. He lives up to his name, once again, and gives us a beautiful movie to look at. Some of the shots are breathtaking.
The acting is also top notch. Emily Blunt, now perhaps my favorite actress, is flawless in this film and gives us a great character to see the story through. However, Del Toro is the star of the show...he is badass and nailed every scene he is in; definitely the most fascinating character in the movie.
Sicario is yet another great movie from Denis. He is one of the most talented directors working today and this film perpetuates that fact.
