Sicario is an excellent new crime thriller currently in theaters. The main star is Emily Blunt, I enjoyed her performance in last year's
Edge of Tomorrow. She plays an FBI agent who teams with Josh Brolin and Benecio del Torio to take down a Mexican drug lord. The scenes on the streets and on the roads in Juarez Mexico are very realistic and impressed me. I was reminded of the time years ago when I was in El Paso and crossed the border into Juarez; I didn't come across anything as dangerous as what was shown in the movie but certainly it could have happened. I love how the film is edited and shot by cinematography Roger Deakins; he creates so many great compositions that I want to see the movie again just to watch the photography. There is a great deal of mystery behind an apparent family man, who appears only from behind at the beginning of the film, but may be a dirty cop -- or someone else we're not expecting him to be.
