An engaging crime thriller!

Rating: 8/10 (1 December 2016)

Sicario is one those rare thriller movies that actually stick to their genre. There is no unnecessary love story or useless sub-plots. The movie begins with a chilling sequence and never stops from there. The pacing is pretty good.
The actors did a great job and none of them felt wooden or fake.
Another amazing aspect of the movie is its breathtaking cinematography and a haunting background score. The aerial shots were simply beautiful. The thumping beats added to the tension and drama.
The movie is dark. There are still a few funny moments but the director has carefully kept them low-key so that they don't interfere with all the serious hoopla.
The traffic sequence, the tunnel sequence and the climax were amazing.
Overall, I would recommend this movie for all the thriller lovers. It has its share of minor flaws but it is still a pretty nice movie. Watch it for the acting, the cinematography and the background score.
P.S. Enemy and Prisoners were directed by the same guy.
