border area stretching between the U.S. and Mexico, an idealistic FBI agent
(Emily Blunt) is enlisted by an elite government task force official (Josh
Brolin) to aid in the escalating war against drugs. Led by an enigmatic consultant
with a questionable past (Benicio Del Toro), the team sets out on a clandestine
journey forcing Kate to question everything that she believes in order to
survive.
An idealistic FBI agent is enlisted by an elected government
task force to aid in the escalating war against drugs at the border area
between the U.S. and Mexico.
America's war against the Mexican drug cartels gets a bracing, brutal working over by the director Denis Villeneuve.
ReplyDeleteThe one saving grace of Sicario is the considerable talent of cinematographer Roger Deakins, who continually finds new, striking images to couch all the action in.
