Sicario- Good but should have been Great

Rating: 6/10 (22 January 2016)

I had so many expectations for this film that all became short lived once I finished watching it in the cinemas.
I am a big fan of Denis Villeneuve especially after watching Prisoners which blew my mind. I thought after watching the trailer of Sicario that it would again be a great experience, but unfortunately I was wrong.
Benecio Del Toro, Emily Blunt and Josh Brolin were really amazing. The start of the film grabbed my attention but 30 mins in I had mixed feelings. Some scenes were great but too much emphasis on the female protagonists mindset and emotions which was unnecessary and stopping it from giving the thriller aspect which would have made the film more gripping!
The ending is also not as good as I hoped and overall left me unsatisfied.
As great as I think Denis is, I expected abit more. The film is worth to watch once but nothing to brag about.
6.5/10
