Absorbing story, a long way from our little safe toy soldier world, looks like the real world is going down the toilet. Brutal, fast moving, not for the faint hearted. Unfortunately believable. Robin.

Enjoyed it. A bit "dark" with an ominous sound track.

Turns out Sicario means hit man.

If you liked Narcos should like this.

I saw this last night...

my kind of movie...definitely recommend it...

great acting...Josh Brolin...Benicio Del Toro...Emily Blunt...all stole the show...

this will end up a drug dealer cult classic...

amazing fictional crime thriller about the USA's law enforcement agencies involvement with Mexico's ruthless drug cartel...

gory...bloody...ruthless...hardcore...graphic and gritty...

definitely action packed...

I loved this movie...

I also saw this movie weeks back, I had a connection/curiosity about the film because in the preview I Immediatly recognized the views of Juarez as I lived in Las Cruces about 45min. north of El Paso and saw that view nearly every week for 15 yrs.
Sad part is it was all so real, the war for the drug smuggling cross points is as hot as they show and worse. Being local for all those years we got a more "intimate" view with all the spanish language channel broadcast, they do not hold back on mexican TV. was not uncommon to see Beheaded corpses and mangled bodies remenisent of those I recall of Viet Cong during that war.
The real sad part is even before the cartels went to war it was already very bad, the American Mfg.'s have huge assm. plants or Maquiladora I think is the spanish word, on the outskirts of town that employed 10 of thousands and even before the war 3-400 girls a year were disappearing "without a trace" according to the local authorities, all young and attractive.
