Until the script loses its cojones and the third act turns it into just another revenge thriller, this is a tense, visually stunning, action flick that also has something serious to say about the ambiguity and futility of the War on Drugs.

@kvdsteege I wouldn't say this is an action flick, but well it's kinda intense, I guess.

As someone who actually lives in Mexico, and has a 12-men strong Policias Federales group parked just outside my office with machine guns and a freaking tank (yes, a small tank with 2 50mm turrets), and my fair amount of dead bodies seen around in Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon and Sonora, many kidnapped (and lost forever) friends, this movie is one of the best I've ever seen about the War On Drugs. The third act is too constrained, but understandable as this is a movie made for an American audience. I wonder if you guys can tell the difference between Mexico City (where most of the Mexican scenes were shot) and Ciudad Juarez or Nogales, because you can't film there at all. The situation here is worst than anybody can imagine, and I just have to look outside my window. I'm looking forward for the next movie with Del Toro's character.

A bit too slow and not enough action for my taste. Honestly, when I really think about it, not a whole lot happened? Solid performances from the cast and great cinematography though.

Sicario has beautiful cinematography, score and some truly terrifying moments dripping with suspense. However, the plot falls flat on its face due to the obscure and secretive nature. Like Kate, we are taken for a ride and have been left much in the dark. But during the reveal, 3/4 into the movie, everything feels underdeveloped and overly simple. The visceral images of the victims of the cartel portray them as a new kind of monster not seen before in the drug wars, but the conclusion of the movie, delves back into overly used stereotypical images. Blunt, del Toro, Brolin and Kaluuya hold up their ends very well but the mediocre script eventually lets the movie down.

Uncomfortable but compulsive viewing, gave a brutal insight into the hellish world of the drug cartel and morally ambiguous attempts at controlling it. I liked the way Emily Blunt was set up as the heroine of the piece but was soon found to be hopelessly out of her depth and Ill equipped to deal with the harsh reality of her situation... When you think about it, she was chewed up and spat out and gave a great performance to depict that. Del Toro was monstrous and awesome! I'd rather Walter White come knocking than him!!

I feel like the movie was visually stunning in the effects and the filming but the story itself and its main character are weak, I mean she's supposed to be an FBI agent for christ's sake, and she can't do anything to defend herself. She was acting like a fucking civilian. Makes no sense whatsoever. And letting the villain win for no reason was a terrible idea. I give this a 4/10. I really don't get what the critics see in this piece of crap of a movie to give it a total rating of 94%. At least to me, a good movie is a movie that has good strong realistic characters and an interesting story, and amazing movie for me is something that does all that and has stunning visuals and gives me chills. All this movie had was stunning visuals, but the ending was terrible. Worst movie ending ever.
