Good action movie. Good plot that is coherent and makes sense. The cinematography makes Arizona and Mexico devoid of anything green. I mean trees, shrubs and grass etc. Adding to a haunting feeling. All the vegetation I saw was brown.
The Juarez scenes make Juarez look like a pit of hell/
I liked the lack of over acting. I am not a fan of Benecio Del Torro but he does very well here. Josh Brolin does well. Emily Blunt is OK. Ten other actresses could have done just as well.
The supporting actors were credible. The assault using night vision equipment was well done and something I had not seen before in a movie.
When the movie is done you realize how it got the title "Sicario"
Maybe good, just no way I’m watching another movie from that anti-American Blunt.
Despite Blunt this was an excellent movie. It would be impossible to watch this movie and not see the dangers we face from many Mexicans at our border. Regarding Blunt her character was so pathetic it was enjoyable.
I was thinking about seeing this movie. Maybe I’ll check it out.
Anyway, John Nolte on Breitbart called this a "two hour Trump infomercial" because it exposes illegals and their role in the drug trade.
Portions were filmed in NM too.
Emily Blunt’s character should have been whacked after the first 20 minutes.
Seeing it tonight. I’ve heard it referred to as the Apocolypse Now of the Drug War. I like Blunt as an actress ever since I saw her in a spectacular Tom Cruise movie called Edge of Tomorrow, and I’m willing to pretend that she was laughing at the absurdity of the Republican debate after becoming an American citizen (American presidential campaigns are circuses compared to UK parliamentary elections).
The dry desert landscapes and the thunderclouds in the evening skies in the movie made me homesick because I grew up in Arizona and New Mexico but I live in Florida now. I recognized many of the locations in the movie. The entrance to Luke Air Force Base in the movie was surrounded by desert but in reality it is surrounded by the suburbs of middle class houses. The "Wild Horse" bar in the movie is in reality the Silver Pony Country bar in South Phoenix where my high school buddies and I went for drinks after golf every Friday for 20 years. Best neighborhood bar ever. I made frequent trips to Juarez with my friends many times back in the 70s when I was in the Air Force and stationed at Holloman AFB in Alamogordo, New Mexico, just north of El Paso.
Most of it was
Stay home. I'm certain nobody cares whether you go see the movie or not.
Over the decades, people from the midwest and back east have moved to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona and planted trees, lawns and shrubs in their yards, trying to make it look like where they came from. But without the water from the Colorado River, none of those green plants would grow. It is a desert. Dry and dusty.

It was a superb movie.
well mexico is upset about the movie so it must be ok...
I don't like this starkness. But this starkness makes a stark people and when carried to the extremes by the Muslims...with this ideology's origin in the deserts of Saudi Arabia. The deserts make for tough peoples. Water and nothing is in abundance.
I have driven through rural New Mexico. All you would see the desert until I rounded a curve and looked into a slight valley that had been cultivated into lushness. There was trees, fruit trees and green vegetation and a vegetable garden. I know how this is done. My carefully marshaling the rain when it falls and when the stream runs more fully. The water has to be diverted to irrigation and done well or you fail
I am saying there is greenery out in the Arizona and New Mexico desert but Sicario makes sure none appears on film. I don't think I saw one tree
Yeah, I didn’t necessarily mean it was actually filmed in Chandler, only that was the first lower third that appeared on screen. Actually, while it could be Chandler, I didn’t recognize that location and it most likely was NM.
For that reason alone I’d like to see the movie, but really hate carnage.
