Sicario

Cast: Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro(Alejandro), Josh Brolin(Matt), Daniel Kaluuya(Reggie), Maximiliano Hernández(Silvio), Victor Garber(Dave), Jon Bernthal(Ted) and Julio Cedillo(Fausto Alarcon)
Director: Denis Villeneuve
Genre: Crime, Action, Thriller



Its a crime thriller based out of Mexico. An engaging watch!




You may look forward to:

• Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin are the real leads of the movie. They are rough and  no non sense characters. They carry a defiant nature which is deceptive as well. The duo create a very mystifying environment and keeps you hooked. They are the only reason why you should go for this film
• Maximiliano Hernández, Victor Garber, Jon Bernthal and Julio Cedillo, have very short supporting roles, but are noticeable
• Denis Villeneuve showcases some very inherent and root politics of the underworld drug cartels thriving in the very heart of the US. An enthralling watch!
• The aerial shots in the film are mind blowing. The camera work is equally good!

What you can sleep over:

Daniel Kaluuya has a very insignificant supporting role, could have been much stronger!




The dampeners you should be aware of:

Emily Blunt is more than confused in the entire film. She was played upon, agreed! But she hardly ever displays any skills of an FBI agent. She appears not just confused, but as well weak, one who goes by the rule books till the very end. Not a very strong character to be the face of the film






My Rating: 3/5
