One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Can't believe the high rating here(the main reason I tried to stick with it) this is a clunking pile. A decent cast, mouthing cliché after cliché. Kate(Blunt) hasn't a clue what's going on so neither do we. I can only surmise that all the positive reviews have been written by company shills. Dross.

When I first saw this movie in theaters with my dad and brother, I had no expectations and no idea what kind of movie this was going to be. I had heard a few good things about it before going in but really didn't know anything about it other than it had a few big name actors in it. I walked out of Sicario with my eyes having been opened to an aspect of filmmaking I had previously not considered: sound. Composer Jóhann Jóhannsson completely enveloped me with his soundtrack for this film, bringing the already taut emotions in this movie to new heights. Written by Taylor Sheridan, considered to be one of the hottest new screenwriters in Hollywood, Sicario follows the story of straight-laced FBI Agent Kate Macer, played by actress Emily Blunt, as she is chosen for a joint government operative team tasked with bringing order to the chaos that are the Mexican drug cartels. The audience follows Kate down the dark rabbit hole of clandestine operations and gray moral areas as she tries to bring the leaders of the murderous cartel to justice while still operating within the bounds of the law. Operating comfortably outside of such boundaries are CIA Operative Matt Graver and Mercenary Alejandro played by Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro respectively. Both actors steal every scene they are in, playing their roles with a deceptive and dangerous charm. Del Toro specifically steals the spotlight from those sharing a scene with him, finding that perfect balance between cold, calculating killer, and a hurting man seeking vengeance on those who decapitated his wife and threw his daughter into a vat of acid. Director Denis Villeneuve showed me once again why I consider him to be one of our best modern-day directors and one of my personal favorites, breaking down this film to its very color scheme and utilizing color to help him tell the narrative given to him. The audience is also treated to one of the more satisfying endings to a film in recent memory with Alejandro completing a part of his mission of revenge against the cartel in a swift, brutal, yet justified way that helps to bring his arc in this film to a close. It is not very often one comes across a film they would consider to be close, if not, perfection, and I can say confidently that Sicario is one such movie for me.

With a high IMDB rating and reviews, I decided to watch this movie and was disappointed. It seems like a Documentary or a TV show packaged as Movie. Someone who has grown up on 80's action, the type of action shown in this, fails to impress. In the name of realism, there is only sound and light show. With movies like this, labelled as action/thriller, I can see why comic book movies are doing so good. Even if its CGI, its action, its thrill, its fantasy. In the name of realism I came across something boring. I don't care about that technical brilliance, if its dull and boring. Even the plot doesn't have much substance. I mean, there are many loose ends. Who were those people, whose bodies we saw in opening and why were they killed etc etc. From kidnapping, to illegal immigrants, it finally zeroes on to drug use.Everyone is clueless in movie about why certain things are happening, what to do etc etc. Only Josh Brolin and that other guy Benicio Del Toro seem to know everything and they are keeping it to themselves. In the end they reveal everything, with a casual one liner. Which doesn't even raise an eye brow, neither from the viewers or even actors. Emily Blunt, she looks tired and worn out. Better to call it a Drama, with a international border drug smuggling theme than an action/thriller, because there was hardly any thrill in it.

Unlike many movies, I didn't get tired at the middle of it. Benicio del Toro and Emily Blunt were both incredible. I hope Sicario 2 does justice this year.
