Sickening and smoking times aplenty

Rating: 6/10 (8 October 2015)

Lots of good reviews had me wanting to see Sicario. Well the drug wars are well known and still go on and this mishmash of a movie will hopefully prove how hopeless the war on drugs is and needs more than macho CIA guys killing other tough guys. Good action scenes and tension build up but all spoiled in my book by the mumbling characters which had me missing much dialog and left me wondering who was up who and who was paying the rent most of the time. I wished for subtitles; that's how bad it was. Some day I'll see it again on FTA to understand what was going on. The Emily Blunt character constantly smokes - I had the feeling she was being sponsored by a tobacco company. Did we really need that when we also have a more gentle war on smoking which she negated throughout the movie.
