Welcome to Mexico!

Rating: 8/10 (2 October 2015)

Sicario, meaning "hitman". Obviously this film strikes a nerve with everyone especially, Americans, Mexican Americans, and especially illegal immigrants. This films subject matter is a dark, underworld that lies within our own backyards. Americans, we want to live in this country, and for the majority of us we were born here. Some of us, not so fortunate. Immigration is an on-going, controversial battle right now, I'm not sure who wins, if anyone ever does. This film has big name stars attached to it while dealing with a good subject line, Emily Blunt, fantastic actress, Josh Brolin, & Benicio Del Toro, two of the best. The movie starts out as a swat team raid on a house, lead by Emily, the end up discovering a horrific site, I'll let you watch to see. After this there's a task team lead by Brolin and he wants her, to "ride along" and get her feet wet in the fight against Cartel violence, in America and Mexico. This film is beautifully directed by Denis Villeneuve, and add a gorgeous, haunting soundtrack by Johann Johannsson, that sticks with you after the film is over, job well done. Now as a film critic, I love films, and this one is right up there. But I can see where some people might not, for starters, I think there should have been a better ending involving Emily's character, Benicio finishes this film, and in great style. It's almost co-main stars, she started it, he finished it. This is definitely a must see film, I just wish there was a touch more action, longer ending involving Emily, but I still have to give it an 8/10.
