Once again, critics fawn over something that leaves audiences cold.

Rating: 1/10 (2 March 2016)

Whilst watching Sicario, I was reminded of American Hustle. Not that the two have a lot in common, plot or character-wise, but rather they are both movies that were given ridiculously great reviews by critics, but left myself and others wondering, why?
The usually likable Emily Blunt has a dull character. She's one- dimensional, she has nothing distinct about her in any way, no quirks to suggest she's anything but a cardboard cut-out. This is a major problem when you feel that way about the lead character. How are you supposed to care about what happens in the story when you don't care about the lead?
The directing, also, it felt very detached and uninvolving. I didn't feel the impact of anything that was going on.
