SICARIO (Theatrical Release USA 2015)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.9|5.0 Starsìììì

Sicario—visual masterpiece—works like a documentary that is so well scripted that the director and camera crew can follow its storyline and will naturally find a terrifically realistic piece of entertainment that easily earns its BRAVO! BRAVO! ENCORE! ENCORE! kudos. It’s a ‘this is how movies should be made’ and a ‘why we go to see movies’ film. Director Denis Villeneuve shows tremendous skill in producing each scene. Actress Emily Blunt, Actors Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro and the rest of the cast work together like a work of Picasso in artistic quality. Great work by all involved.
