Screenrant | ‘Sicario’ Review

Screenrant

Sicario opens with a nightmarish look at the battle between U.S. law enforcement and the Mexican drug cartels along the Arizona border. While tracking leads in a kidnapping case, FBI agent Kate Macer (Emily Blunt) and her team make the horrific discovery of a mundane Arizona home that has been serving as a cartel graveyard. The trauma of that event stokes agent Macer’s burning need for justice, making it easy for a gleeful and mysterious ‘problem solver’ named Matt (Josh Brolin) to recruit her onto his clandestine anti-cartel task force.
