Drug War Thriller

Rating: 7/10 (2 October 2015)

I saw "Sicario", starring Emily Blunt-Into the Woods, The Wolfman_2010; Benicio Del Toro-Guardians of the Galaxy, The Wolfman_2010; Josh Brolin- Guardians of the Galaxy, Milk and Victor Garber-The Flash_tv, Milk.
This is a nice little thriller about the drug war between the good old U. S. of A. and Mexico. Emily plays an FBI agent working out of Arizona. On her latest case, a drug lord on his way back to Juarez Mexico, leaves a nasty explosive present behind and several agents are killed. When Josh-a CIA agent-and Benicio-a mysterious Mexican collaborator-ask for Emily's help in tracking down the bad drug lord, she doesn't hesitate in trying to get herself a little revenge. Victor plays Emily's boss that lets her go, thinking she might learn something from the CIA, but it turns out to be just the opposite. Josh and Benicio keep her in the dark about almost everything that is going on. They let her know just enough to keep her confused about things. Emily soon learns that it is hard to trust anyone involved in the drug business-both good guys and bad guys- Can you believe it? Some of the good guys are bought off by drug money! FYI: Sicario is Spanish for Hit-man. It's rated "R" for violence, grisly images and language and has a running time of 2 hours & 1 minute. I enjoyed it enough that I would buy it on DVD.
