Just Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (1 October 2015)

Sicario, starring Emily Blunt, Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin, is a giant explosion, right to our senses. Blunt is a straightforward FBI agent whose world is turned upside when she's called upon to join a team that tackle the drug issues on the U.S./Mexico border. Things aren't what they seem as she's kept out of the loop. Brolin's the head of the operation and Del Toro is an associate with a mysterious persona and few, choice words. We're with Blunt all the way, knowing just as little, but feeling just as restless. Some tense scenes make the heart stop. A stand off on the border shows Sicario's peak in tensity. When Blunt's not being shot at, she's collecting thoughts and gathering emotions. Sicario's not just a powerful action film, with stunning performances from its leading trio, it's a thrilling drama as well, hitting the emotions hard and leaving you reeling at the same time.
