In Mexico, Sicario means hitman. In the lawless border area stretching between the U.S. and Mexico, an idealistic FBI agent is enlisted by an elite government task force official to aid in the escalating war against drugs. Led by an enigmatic consultant with a questionable past, the team sets out on a clandestine journey forcing Kate to question everything that she believes in order to survive.

Really like the look of this, especially with the talent involved. Up there with Black Mass as one of my most anticipated of the year.

Just caught this and I have to say I can't see what all the fuss is about. Kate didn't strike me as a battle hardened FBI agent and the film did end abruptly leaving me with 'is that it?' I did however liked the acting all round and the dinner table was genuinely shocking. I actually think the film could have been a bit longer.
yes. Feels like a movie that should get a directors cut release with an extra 30 minutes added to flesh it out. Beautifully shot, well acted and very tense in places but ultimately a bit lightweight?
