Sicario (2015) update feed
“Since I kept hearing some really good things about this movie, I was really eager to check it out. On top of that, I have enjoyed all the movies directed by Denis Villeneuve that I have seen so far, so I had some rather high expectations concerning this movie. Well, eventually, even though I thought it was really good, I have to admit that it didn't completely blow me away though. I mean, it was definitely a strong production, no doubt it, with a great cast, a very solid directing and one of the best stories about the war on drugs I have seen for a very long time. While watching this, somehow, I couldn't stop thinking about all the people going on holidays in Mexico.

"19.3. Muutamat kaverit oli Sicariota kehuneet joten jostain hetken mielenjohteesta tämä päätettiin pienessä porukassa katsella. Sicarion juoni ei oikeastaan ole mitään sen kummoisempaa, eikä näyttelijät mitään erityisen muistettavia rooleja vedä. Etenkin Emily Bluntin tylsä puupökkelörooli on todella unohdettava.

"1. March ---- An intense as all hell film that's on the verge of becoming a pure horror film at any moment. Violent, grim, pulse-pounding and really well-made, I loved every second of it. "
“Sicario is more than just an action-thriller about the brutal, pointless drug war in North America. Its graphic depictions and nihilistic tone flip a ”
"And the nominees are... *Roger Deakins- Sicario *Edward Lachman- Carol *Emmanuel Lubezki- The Revenant *Robert Richardson- The Hateful Eight *John Seale- Mad Max: Fury Road And the Oscar goes to...
