Sicario (2015)

Sicario (2015)
Director: Denis Villeneuve
== Summary ==
After rising through the ranks of her male-dominated profession, idealistic FBI agent Kate Macer (Emily Blunt) receives a top assignment. Recruited by mysterious government official Matt Graver (Josh Brolin), Kate joins a task force for the escalating war against drugs. Led by the intense and shadowy Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro) whose tragic past as a crusading former DA, has hardened him into a driven and pitiless operative, the team travels back-and-forth across the U.S.-Mexican border, using one cartel boss (Bernardo P. Saracino) to flush out a major elusive shot caller (Julio Cesar Cedillo), who green lights many of the cartels' murders.

== Trivia ==
# The word "Sicario" means "hitman" or "gunman" in Spanish. It also means "paid assassin" in Italian.
# Emily Blunt based Kate Macer's character on one of four female FBI agents she spoke to in preparation for the role, whom she described as "shy" and with a "loner quality" to them.
# Cinematographer Roger Deakins was inspired by the photography of Alex Webb, especially his "Crossings: Photographs from the U.S.-Mexico Border," published in 2003.
# Having just completed Everest (2015), an exhausted Josh Brolin originally turned down this film, until cinematographer Roger Deakins sent him an E-mail imploring him to join the cast. Since it was so uncharacteristic of Deakins to take this stand, Brolin ultimately changed his mind.
# Emily Blunt and Benicio Del Toro both appeared in The Wolfman (2010). At the end of this film, he tells her to move to a new town because this is now "a land of wolves" and she would not survive there.
# While Benicio Del Toro's character is frequently silent in the movie, he initially had more lines. "In the original script, the character explained his background several times to Kate," Del Toro said. "And that gave me information about who this guy was, but it felt a little stiff to have someone you just met fifteen minutes ago suddenly telling you what happened to him and who he is." Working with director Denis Villeneuve, Del Toro began cutting some of his dialogue to preserve the mystery of who his character is; Villeneuve estimated they cut 90% of what Del Toro was originally intended to say by screenwriter Taylor Sheridan. Like Del Toro, Villeneuve saw power in stripping the character down to a brooding silence, stating that dialogue belongs to plays and "movies are about movement, character, and presence, and Benicio had all that."
