Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
raraha Very realistic. Exciting but a bit boring. I'm looking forward to seeing The Day of Soldado. In my opinion,Wind River is really good. It's better than Hell or High Wartsr. And Hell or High Warter is better than Sicario. What I'm sure to say is that Taylor Sheridan is one of the greatest screenwriters in the world.
bbhuffstetler Sicario has the bones of a good crime thriller, but in the hands of a director as talented as Villeneuve, Sicario becomes a meditation about America's role in the drug war and a contemplation on what fighting monsters does to the human psyche. Roger Deakins lives up to the standard he has set for himself, framing the environment our protagonist finds herself in as foreign and frightening, yet somehow still reminded us of home stateside. A tense stand-off near the border is a particular standout. Emily Blunt gives perhaps the performance of her stellar and perpetually underrated career as Kate, a conduit for the audience in the story but also the manifestion of dignity and ethical conviction in a world that doesn't leave room for much of either. Josh Brolin is having a blast playing the swarmy and self assured Matt, while Benecio del Toro imbues Alejandro with a mysterious and tough exterior that shrouds personal tradegy. The script is one that withholds any clear moral standing for the audience, and the viewer is left in a constant state of bewilderment as to who can be trusted and if everyone's stated intentions are true. By the end, you'll be without answers, only left to reckon with what you've seen on the screen, and what it means for your country and it's efforts in a destructive and perhaps futile drug war. Sicario combines great acting, confident direction, impressive camera work, a remarkable soundtrack, and a expertly woven script to make a film for the ages.
metalgear-25259 The pace and captivating screenplay give nods to what is going on. Nothing is made clear and the subtleties are something you explore as you watch. A Film that isn't too loud but isn't too quiet either. It may lose your attention at certain points but persevere and watch to the end for the brutal moments that depict a powerful story of US special operations and simple revenge that drags down all that stand in it's wake.
daftartelefon As an amateur viewer so do not bury me with you cinema knowledge for that.I saw this film and i really liked that. In my personal point of view the best part of the movie is Del Toro acting. Beautiful , real and disciplined acting by Del Toro. His acting and movements so professional and classy. Cinematography is perfect. Sound edit way perfect than it looks. Most important thing is camera movement, Smooth .Simple and Enough , No camera on hand and run like crazy unlike the Hollywood movies these days. (Damn that camera on hands are headaches.)There is just 1 minor problem in storytelling . I think the script needed to be saturated some more about the drug cartels and their operations.And there is 1 big problem and that is Emily Blunt and Daniel Kaluuya acting. Blunt is flimsy and heavy , very much filled with fake and made-up confusing looks. She is so much unreal that you will ask during the whole movie : Why she is here ?! If you want to get to a cartel leader then you should know there is no written procedures for this type of operations. And if you do not like it , then why you and Kaluuya are here ? You cannot pretend to want some maniac Druglord badly and yet behave like you don't know what these Druglords look like and question everything and demand everyone their intents plus their reasons and if she does not like those she threaten to walk. No body forces her and his mate to join for this kind of operations.Overall , this is very well made movie with a very good acting and story.
