Drug Cartel Movie at it's Best

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2019)

Now, a 10/10 movie is superb, perfect filmmaking for me. I give a lot of 7s and 8s, but for a film to be a 9, it must have something great about it.
And so I present to you Sicario. There is something very grotesque and disturbingly mysterious about the Mexican drug cartels and the killing that ensues. Americans need their illegal drugs, and Mexicans are more than happy to make a quick buck. But how they use that money and flaunt it through such a detrimental earning method, is very scary.
Sicario presents the scenario from the cops as well as the cartel insiders. Benicia Del Toro is fantastic, and Josh Brolin plays the cool US cop guy very well. I have never been a fan of Emily Blunt, but she did her job in this film.
I highly, highly recommend watching this movie. It may be moreso that I am a fan of drug cartel movies, but this is definitely a must watch.
9 stars
