Great Action

Rating: 7/10 (28 October 2018)

When FBI makes a raid on a cartel house in Arizona, they discover several bodies and two local police officers are killed by a booby trap. The leader of the operation Kate Macer (Emily Blunt) is summoned to a meeting in the Department of Justice and Kate is invited to join a special force commanded by CIA Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) to fight the cartels. The idealistic Kate brings her partner Reggie Wayne (Daniel Kaluuya) and they team up with the force. They learn that the team has the intent to promote havoc in the Sonora Cartel to force one well-known kingpin to come to Mexico to meet the drug lord Fausto Alarcon (Julio Cesar Cedillo) and find his whereabouts. But soon Kate finds that the assignments led by Matt and Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro) are absolutely illegal and she discovers why she was invited to join the team.
"Sicario" is a great action film with excellent sequences of shootings. The storyline shows the dilemma of a dedicated and idealistic FBI agent that learns that there is a thin and blurred line between the right and wrong. The plot is well resolved and there is a sequel unfortunately without Emily Blunt. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Sicario: Terra de Ninguém" ("Sicario: No Man Land")
