Fantastic, dark, slick, action thriller

Rating: 10/10 (8 March 2020)

Sicario breaks the mould of the sterotypical action movie, yet still has great action sequences intertwined with a great storyline. It displays the contrast between good and evil and also the people inbetween those two worlds. You have idealist Emily Blunt who wants to bring down the Mexican Cartels, but inbetween all that is the likes of Josh Brolin's and Benicio Del Toro's characters. The film is tense and stylish, soundtrack is eerie. It shows a dark side to law enforcement and the questionable things that are required to be done for the right reasons. It reflects the world as a whole in some respects, that some things are never as they appear. Another great film by Dennis Villeneuve. Just a shame they tried to make a sequel.
