    Waste of time, unless you are really bored.
    "American Sicario" is an action movie based on a true story. For all the fans of the "Sicario" movies with Benicio Del Toro, do not have your hopes high. This movie does not belong in the same category. Yes, you have plenty of action, swearing, and graphic scenes in this movie. Although it is based on a true story, there is no plot nor twist that you do not see coming from a mile away. The acting of Philippe A. Haddad (Erik Vasquez) is not bad. But the whole cast sucks. The longer down in the movie, the worse it gets. No kidding. And I am not even speaking about the plot holes. Even if you are a Danny Trejo fan, you will be disappointed. It is like he is doing this movie against his will. You are better of watching the trailer and skip the movie. Waste of time. Unless you are really bored, like I was....
