Sicario is a 2015 American action thriller film directed by Denis Villeneuve and starring Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro, and Josh Brolin. Written by Taylor Sheridan, the film is about a principled FBI agent who is enlisted by a government task force to bring down the leader of a powerful and brutal Mexican drug cartel. Sicario was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. Distributed by Lionsgate, the film began a limited release in the United States on September 18, 2015, prior to a nationwide release on October 2, 2015.

Plot[edit]

During an FBI SWAT raid of suspected kidnappers in Chandler, Arizona, idealistic agent Kate Macer (Emily Blunt), her partner Reggie Wayne (Daniel Kaluuya), and their team discover dozens of corpses hidden within the walls of the house. While the team investigates the crime scene, an improvised explosive device in the backyard shed explodes, killing two officers. Afterwards, Kate's boss, Dave Jennings (Victor Garber), recommends her to Matt Graver (Josh Brolin), a CIASpecial Activities Division undercover officer and Department of Defense adviser leading a team of Delta Force operators searching for the men responsible, including cartel boss Manuel Díaz. Kate volunteers to join the team.

On the plane to El Paso, Texas, Kate meets Matt's partner, Alejandro Gillick (Benicio del Toro), and learns that they are going to Juárez,Mexico, where they will extradite one of Diaz's top men, his brother Guillermo. While crossing back into the United States over the Bridge of the Americas, Matt, Alejandro, and their team realize that cartel thugs are attempting to intercept them in a traffic jam, and the team kills the cartel men when they attempt to capture Guillermo. After interrogating and torturing Guillermo, Matt and Alejandro learn the location of Díaz's hideout.

Alejandro, Matt, and Kate return to Arizona, where Reggie drives them to a Border Patrol station to question a group of Mexican migrants for information. Tired of being kept in the dark about the greater objectives of the mission, Reggie and Kate confront Alejandro and Matt for an explanation. Matt tells them that their goal is to cause such a disruption in Díaz's drug operations that he will be called back to Mexico to meet with his boss, drug lord Fausto Alarcón (Julio Cedillo). With the help of several migrants who know the border well, the team discovers the whereabouts of a tunnel that the cartel uses to get its drugs into the United States. The team follows Díaz's money launderers to a bank, where they deposit his money and are arrested. Díaz's accounts are then frozen. Kate, believing they can arrest Díaz with this information, gets records of the transactions, but Matt forbids her from going forward, telling her that they are working toward a greater goal than simply arresting Díaz.

After being refused by Matt to move forward with the arrest, Kate and Reggie meet with Jennings for further answers. He informs them that the decision to follow Matt's orders wasn't made by him, but rather by elected officials far away from the situation at hand. In an effort to further satisfy Kate, Jennings informs her to stop worrying about wrongfully crossing legal boundaries because the legal boundaries they once knew had been purposefully moved.

Frustrated with the way Matt and Alejandro work, Reggie and Kate visit a bar for drinks. Reggie introduces Kate to one of his buddies, a local cop named Ted (Jon Bernthal). After a night of drinking and dancing, Ted and Kate end up back at her apartment, where she discovers a rubber wristband in his possession—the same type used to bundle Díaz's laundered money. Sensing that she knows he is corrupt, Ted struggles to subdue her and nearly chokes her to death. Alerted by the noise, Alejandro stops him at gunpoint and beats him up. After Alejandro and Matt threaten the lives of Ted and his family, he reveals the names of other local corrupt cops working for Díaz.

The next morning, Matt and his team prepare to follow Díaz, who has been called back to Alarcón. Kate protests that the FBI does not have jurisdiction in Mexico and learns that she and Reggie are no longer needed; the FBI agents were attached to the team purely to give the CIA the legal ability to operate within US borders. Reggie tells Kate they should leave the operation, as they were being used from the beginning, but Kate wishes to see things through to the end. Their raid on the tunnel serves as a distraction so that Alejandro can sneak through to the Mexican side. Once there, he kidnaps one of Díaz's mules, a corrupt Mexican police officer named Silvio (Maximiliano Hernández). Kate follows and attempts to arrest Alejandro, who shoots her in her bulletproof vest and tells her to return to the United States. Threatening Silvio at gunpoint, Alejandro forces him to pursue Díaz in his Mexican police car. Meanwhile, Kate demands answers from Matt, who explains that their goal is to restore power to the Colombian Medellín Cartel. Returning control of the drug trade to a single cartel will restore some semblance of order.

Alejandro with Silvio driving catches up with Díaz's Mercedes, upon which Alejandro kills Silvio and wounds Díaz. Díaz then drives Alejandro to Alarcón's estate, where Alejandro kills Díaz and Alarcón's guards before finding Alarcón and his family. Alarcón, who murdered Alejandro's wife and daughter when Alejandro was a prosecutor in Juárez, mocks Alejandro, who shoots Alarcón's wife and two sons to death in front of him, then kills the drug lord. The next morning, Alejandro sneaks back into Kate's apartment and gives her a waiver to sign stating that everything they did together was "by the book". Kate relents when Alejandro puts a gun to her head. After he leaves, Kate goes to her balcony, points her gun at him and hesitates, and then watches him walk away. Sometime later at a football field in Mexico, Silvio's widow watches her son's soccer game, which is briefly interrupted by gunfire in the distance. However, despite this, the soccer game continues on as normal.

Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

In December 2013, it was announced that Denis Villeneuve would direct a Mexican border drama, Sicario (the Spanish word for Hitman[4]), scripted by Taylor Sheridan. Black Label Media financed and co-produced with Thunder Road Pictures.[5] Basil Iwanyk produced the film along with Molly Smith, Trent Luckinbill, and Thad Luckinbill.[5]

Emily Blunt signed on to the film in April 2014, shortly followed by Benicio del Toro.[6][7] Jon Bernthal and Josh Brolin joined the film in May, and cinematographer Roger Deakins was also hired.[8][9][10] Daniel Kaluuya,Maximiliano Hernández, and Jeffrey Donovan were then cast,[11][12][13] and Jóhann Jóhannsson was hired to compose the music for the film in August 2014.[14]

Principal photography began on June 30, 2014 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[15][16]

Release[edit]

In May 2014, Lionsgate acquired the U.S. rights to the film, while Lionsgate International will handle the foreign sales.[17] On February 23, 2015, Lionsgate set the film for a limited release in the United States on September 18, 2015 and a wide release on October 2, 2015.[18] The film had its world premiere at the 2015 Cannes Film Festivalon May 19, 2015.[19][20] It was then selected to be shown in the Special Presentations section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2015.[21][22]

Reception[edit]

Box office[edit]

As of December 13, 2015, Sicario has grossed $46.4 million in North America and $33.7 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $80.1 million, against a budget of $30 million.[3]

In the opening weekend of its wide release, the film was projected to earn $8–10 millon. On its first day, it grossed $4.3 million, coming in third behind The Martian ($18 million) and Hotel Transylvania 2 ($7.5 million). In its opening weekend, it grossed $12.1 million, exceeding expectations and finishing behind The Martian ($54.3 million) andHotel Transylvania 2 ($33.2 million).[23]

Critical response[edit]

Sicario has been acclaimed by critics and the performances of Blunt and del Toro were praised.[24] On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 93%, based on 207 reviews, with an average rating of 8/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Led by outstanding work from Emily Blunt and Benicio del Toro, Sicario is a taut, tightly wound thriller with much more on its mind than attention-getting set pieces."[25]On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 81 out of 100, based on 41 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[26] On CinemaScore, audiences gave the film an average grade of "A-" on an A+ to F scale.[23]

Richard Roeper gave the film an A, calling it one of the year's best, and applauded del Toro's performance, saying, "...then there's del Toro, who lurks about the fringes of the action for most of the story, and then springs into action in a handful of scenes in a variety of ways that will leave you shaken — and grateful to have seen such beautifully dark work."[27]

Dan Jolin from Empire gave the film 5 stars, calling it "a beautifully murky, hard-edged thriller. Quite simply, one of the best films of the year."[28]

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian praised the acting of Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro, and Josh Brolin. He states that although her character Kate Mercer was implausible, Emily Blunt "brazens out any possible absurdity with great acting focus and front".[29]

Similarly, Sebastian Rotella, writing for Propublica, offered considerable praise to the acting of Blunt, del Toro, and Brolin. However, he found that the film, while "artful and thought-provoking" and as having "impeccably realistic moments", possesses several deficiencies. Firstly, the federal agents' aggressive tactics and breaches in rules in Sicario are far more gratuitous than anything he witnessed in his reporting. Secondly, there exists a lack of Hispanic law enforcement agents, as characters, in the film relative to those currently working in real life. Finally, the film focuses overwhelmingly on the American point of view in the War on Drugs.[30]

Steve Pulaski of Influx Magazine gave the film a B-, stating that the lack of character development was off putting despite extremely strong cinematography and stylish directing. He went on to say that, "Sicario may be one of the most melancholic, morally bankrupt, and ethically vacuous mainstream films to be released this year; yet, such moroseness comes with the territory of the ongoing, politician-branded 'War on Drugs.'"[31]

Chris Ryan of Grantland compares Sicario to the film Apocalypse Now directed by Francis Ford Coppola. He notes the similarity of the visuals with respect to the respective narratives of the two films. He also states that the characters Alejandro Gillick and Matt Graver in Sicario are similar to those of Colonel Kurtz and William Kilgore, respectively in Apocalypse Now.[32]

Response from officials in Ciudad Juarez[edit]

Sicario's depiction of Ciudad Juárez was criticized by officials of that city, who believed the film depicted their city in a bad light. The film included sequences depicting cadavers hanging from downtown viaducts and nighttime firefights in the city. Those officials believe that, at the time of the film's release, the intensity of criminal activity in the city had considerably declined relative to previous periods.[30]

Examination of the US War on Drugs[edit]

According to Sebastian Rotella, Sicario examined many aspects of the war on drugs engaged by United Statesagainst, most generally, drug cartels in Mexico, Central America, and South America. Taking a perspective as an American, he writes that the film illustrates how the American War on Drugs is "turning us into the very monsters we are trying to defeat." Furthermore, the situation in Mexico, with respect to illegal drug trafficking, has remained stagnant for two decades, as of the film's release. This point is repeatedly made by the character Matt Graver in the film.[30]

Sequel[edit]

Lionsgate has commissioned a sequel, centering on del Toro's character. The project is being overseen by writer Taylor Sheridan with Villeneuve also involved.[52]
