    • Trivia
      Having just completed Everest (2015), an exhausted Josh Brolin turned down this film. Cinematographer Sir Roger Deakins sent him an email imploring him to join the project. Since it was so uncharacteristic of Deakins to take this stand, Brolin changed his mind.
    • Goofs
      When the team first goes to Mexico, some of their Mexican police escorts have the word "Policia" misspelled on their vests, with the acute accent on the first "i" instead of the second. On the cars the word is spelled correctly.

      Alejandro: Nothing will make sense to your American ears, and you will doubt everything that we do, but in the end you will understand.

    Sicario
    Sicario was first released back in 2015. I just watched it for the first time last week...and I really have no excuse other than I'm an idiot. I knew I'd like it, I'd heard nothing but amazing things, and five minutes into the movie I completely regretted not watching it sooner. Sicario is, hands down, one of the best action/thrillers of the decade. Director Denis Villeneuve manages to create so much suspense and intensity throughout 120 minutes that at times it's almost unbearable. Needless to say, my fingernails did not survive this movie. The plot itself is fairly basic - the FBI teams up with some shady people to fight a brutal Mexican drug cartel. Emily Blunt plays the young FBI agent recruited into the fight, and for most of the movie the audience is just as confused and suspicious as she is. It delivers plenty of wonderful "what the hell?" moments, as you never really get a sense of anyone's true motivations until the end. The performances are universally terrific and the dialogue is sharp, but the main reason the movie works so masterfully is Villeneuve. With the help of some striking cinematography and a brilliant score, he gives us one of the most surprising, tense, and atmospheric thrillers in the history of the genre. If you've never seen Sicario, please don't make my mistake and see it ASAP.
