27 May 2020
A nice noir film concerning a hit man is asked for killing a woman , being well produced by César Ibáñez , Sergio Bartolomé , José Alberto Sánchez and very well directed by Javier Muñoz ; an extremely tough movie burdened by cruel murders and seedy characters . Magnificent Victor Clavijo in the title role , he's a hit-man who proceeds a grisly mission and along the way annihilating some mobsters . The killer excecutes a criminal spree , one after another , he is coldly killing their victims . Two-fisted Sicario in order to exact his mission , carries out another usual and routine job . However, when it is about to run, he does not pull off and he spares her life ,and spontaneously meets sleazy characters in the middle of a sinister card game . Only at the end , in the last moment of the movie , we aware why he did not murder the woman.

This interesting film features thrills , raw energy , adult subject matter with abundant nudism , lots of violence and enlivened by high-powered performances . Dealing with a criminal assignment what seems like another job , but things go awry and the murderer has just one night to find and take out the people who hired him . Plenty of intrigue, atmospheric music , kinky sex located in brothels , noisy action and grisly killings until impressive finale , adding a predictable twist . It is a movie very violent , depressing charismatic , magnificently set , but always strong , with a perfect abstraction of a climate of moral misery to game with the cold environment and appropriately night scenarios well photographed by cameraman Javier Cerdá . Victor Clavijo gives a very good acting as a ruthlessly hit man who begins a race against time to stop those who would have been hired , because he knows that in his activity , who learns about his work , is dead and that's why there aren't witnesses . Víctor Clavijo is a good but not very known actor who was born on September 28, 1973 in Algeciras, Cádiz . He is one of the young Spanish actors that became popular for his role in Al salir de clase (1997) and he even keeps in touch with many of his partners , and playing other TV series as 14 Abril la Republica , Cuentame , and recently El Ministerio del Tiempo performing Lópe De Vega and Hernan . And for cinema he played 3 días (2008) , Cuéntame un cuento (2013) , 18 comidas , Prim asesinato en calle Turco , La Isla del viento , among others . Being accompanied by fine actors such as : Pedro Casablanca as a master assassin , Israel Elejalde , Fernando Gil ,Nahia Laiz ,Chete Lera , Carlos Olalla and the veteran Mario Pardo .

The motion picture was professionally directed by Javier Muñoz in his only one , though he has written : Atasco Nacional and Crack Cero . This Sicarius won some prizes and nominations , such as : Oxford International Film Festival, ASECAN 2016 Nominee ASECAN Award Best Male Performance , Víctor Clavijo , UK 2016 Winner Festival Award Best Feature , Javier Muñoz (Director) , César Ibáñez (Producer) , José Alberto Sánchez (Producer) ; Premios Simón 2016 Nominee Premio Simon Best Cinematography Javier Cerdá .
