Sicario - 2015 - 8/10
Visceral, taut, suspenseful. Not what I thought it was (though I've never seen Prisoners but now really want to). This was an interesting look at no-win situations and ends justifying means. My favorite thing about this film, and the less said the better about the movie as a whole, was something that I'm going to put in non-spoilery terms. There is a character in the film who would be an action revenge hero in many movies these days. Except in this film, we get a wider perspective which reveals that a lot of stuff that we put in movies as positive heroism can be fucking sociopathic, sadistic and murdery. Not a condemnation because life is shades of grey but a very interesting perspective. Also, Deakins is a pro and this movie looks great. The camera work is really interesting and worth watching a second time just to focus on.
