The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Can't believe the high rating here(the main reason I tried to stick with it) this is a clunking pile. A decent cast, mouthing cliché after cliché. Kate(Blunt) hasn't a clue what's going on so neither do we. I can only surmise that all the positive reviews have been written by company shills. Dross.

Unlike many movies, I didn't get tired at the middle of it. Benicio del Toro and Emily Blunt were both incredible. I hope Sicario 2 does justice this year.

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.
