About Sicario

In the gritty and intense thriller Sicario, director Denis Villeneuve takes audiences on a heart-pounding journey into the dark world of drug cartels and the U.S. government's fight against them. Starring Emily Blunt as an idealistic FBI agent who is recruited to join a covert operation led by Josh Brolin's mysterious government agent and Benicio Del Toro's enigmatic hitman, Sicario is a masterful exploration of the moral complexities and brutal realities of the war on drugs.

With stunning cinematography by Roger Deakins and a haunting score by Jóhann Jóhannsson, Sicario is a cinematic tour de force that has been hailed as one of the best films of 2015. Critics have praised the film's unflinching portrayal of violence and its nuanced depiction of the characters caught up in the drug war. As Rolling Stone's Peter Travers wrote, "Sicario is a movie that grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. It's a hell of a ride."
