Sicario

Experienced but still hopeful FBI agent Kate Macer (Emily Blunt) is enlisted by a government task force including an elusive consultant, Matt Graver (Josh Brolin), and an even more mysterious figure Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro), in a effort to wage a war against drugs at the U.S./Mexican border. But will her objectives be made before her hope is crushed? Sicario Directed by Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Enemy) with cinematographer Roger Deakins and score by Jóhann Jóhannsson, this thought provoking boa constrictor work of art tightens its noose in such a perfectly calculated manner that oscar nominations are ripe within. Poignant and almost satirical at times this dark look to governmental control of very real hydras in our world hits hard and will not be forgotten easily. Pure Gold! Sicario is rated R.
