Sicario is one of the most engaging dramatic thrillers of the decade

Rating: 9/10 (21 March 2016)

Sicario is an action/crime-drama fringing on both thriller and horrific escapism.Which leaves no room for apologies and is clearly not for any of the faint hearted.
The film stars Kate Macer(Emily Blunt)as an idealistic FBI agent,who's enlisted by a secret government task force-Led by an intimidating Matt Graver played brilliantly by Josh Brolin-along side him is the mysterious,but bullish Alejandro(Benicio Del Toro).Who together take on the ensuing war against drugs.
The characters herein are diverse and play a rapid game of cat and mouse throughout.As at the beginning the film which draws you in completely,plays at your strings and simply blows you away.It's intriguing plot twists order's your full attention and leaves you a bit gob smacked at times.Denis Villeneuve the director presents you with a grisly,yet satisfying film rich in cinematography-which fills every inch of screen you bound to enjoy it on.The awe-inspiring shoots of sloping desert terrain is quite effective in a film of this nature.Supported by pulsating score that delivers a bone chilling narrative of its own,by its spontaneous sounds-capes which add a sort of uniqueness to it's tone.I kept feeling like I was watching a sequel to Zero Dark Thirty,but the more I watched the more I seemingly forgot about the before mentioned film.
I routinely went in expecting a lot from this film.And well let me tell you I certainly got my hard earned moneys worth;a few chuckle's here and there,seat squirm's and a lot of heart pounding excitement.I was satisfied.This film is definitely a must watch and truly one of the most intensive movies of the year. *****/5
