Bit rubbish really.
Sicario is billed as a thriller, but nothing thrilling happens and the supposed twist, isn't really a twist at all. The trailer also bills it as an action movie, which it tries to be in a couple of scenes, but doesn't really do enough of all round.
There is some overly graphic violence which makes little sense but does add significant shock value. There are some overly stereotyped Spec Ops soldiers, right down to the stupid beards.
Emily Blunt is fine in it. Benicia Del Toro, hmm ok. Josh Brolin, how does he keep getting work? And no-one else says more than a few lines.
There were half a dozen other films to see this week. This was almost certainly the wrong choice.
Overall 6 out of 10.
