Intense from moment one.

Rating: 9/10 (27 September 2015)

Rarely do you walk into a film and feel your heart rate rise from scene 1. That's how this film, Sicario, starts off and continues throughout. This is not an action film, in fact there is very little action in it at all, rather a Drama-thriller type.
This movie is driven by giving the audience, from the view point of the main character portrayed by Emily Blunt, little bits of information to continue the plot in the high stakes, high intensity world of drug cartels. Excellent performances from Emily Blunt and Benicio del Toro, and all around good performances from the supporting cast. This movie will be most enjoyed by those who like movies that don't shove the story line obviously at you, and by those who like a high intensity thriller/drama type film.
