Who are you actually working for?

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2015)

Director Denis Villeneuve ("Prisoners" 2013) crosses the U.S. boarder with under-the-radar agents Matt (Josh Brolin) and Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro), as they enlist FBI agent Kate (Emily Blunt) and her partner Reggie (Daniel Kaluuya - "Johnny English Reborn") to infiltrate the Mexican Cartel. Unfortunately for the by-the-books FBI agents, the mission is filled with more backstory then they are initially informed. Under Villeneuve's superb direction, the outstanding writing of Taylor Sheridan ("Sons of Anarchy Sons of Anarchy" - FX), and supported by the eerie sound track of Jóhann Jóhannsson (Composer - "The Theory of Everything"), Brolin and Del Toro are at their all time best. However, it is Emily Blunt's bad-ass agent persona, who takes all the hits, strives to stand up for her values, and is left to make a decision that may cost her her life. If Steven Soderbergh's "Traffic" (2000) or Bryan Singers' "The Usual Suspects" (1995) are your type of movie, "Sicaro" will not disappoint.
