Sicario is a 2015 American action crime thriller film directed by Denis Villeneuve and starring Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro, and Josh Brolin. Written by Taylor Sheridan, the film is about a principled FBI agent who is enlisted by a government task force to bring down the leader of a powerful and brutal Mexican drug cartel. Sicario was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. Distributed by Lionsgate, the film began a limited release in the United States on September 18, 2015, prior to a nationwide release on October 2, 2015.

The film received three Academy Award nominations: for Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, and Best Sound Editing.[4]

Plot

During an FBI SWAT raid of suspected kidnappers in Chandler, Arizona, idealistic agent Kate Macer (Emily Blunt), her partner Reggie Wayne (Daniel Kaluuya), and their team discover dozens of corpses hidden within the walls of the house. While the team investigates the crime scene, an improvised explosive device in the backyard shed explodes, killing two officers. Afterwards, Kate's boss, Dave Jennings (Victor Garber), recommends her to Matt Graver (Josh Brolin), a CIA Special Activities Division undercover officer and Department of Defense adviser leading a team of Delta Force operators searching for the men responsible, including cartel hitman Manuel Díaz. Kate volunteers to join the team.

On the plane to El Paso, Texas, Kate meets Matt's partner, Alejandro Gillick (Benicio del Toro), and learns that they are going to Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico (across the border from El Paso), where they will extradite one of Diaz's top men, his brother Guillermo. While crossing back into the United States over the Bridge of the Americas, Matt, Alejandro, and their team realize that cartel men are attempting to intercept them in a traffic jam, and the team kills them when they attempt to extricate Guillermo. After interrogating and torturing Guillermo, Matt and Alejandro learn the existence of a tunnel used by Diaz to ferry drugs into the U.S.

Alejandro, Matt, and Kate return to Arizona, where Reggie drives them to a Border Patrol station to question a group of Mexican migrants for information. Tired of being kept in the dark about the greater objectives of the mission, Reggie and Kate confront Alejandro and Matt for an explanation. Matt tells them that their goal is to cause such a disruption in Díaz's drug operations that he will be called back to Mexico to meet with his boss, drug lord Fausto Alarcón (Julio Cedillo). With the help of several migrants who know the border well, the team discovers the whereabouts of a tunnel that the cartel uses. The team follows Díaz's money launderers to a bank where they make arrests and freeze his accounts. Kate goes into the bank to try and build a case, despite Matt's advice not to go in. In doing so, she makes herself a target. Despite Matt's protests that they are working toward a greater goal than arresting Díaz, Kate gathers records and tells Jennings that they constitute probable cause. Jennings sides with the officials who outrank him and tries to assuage Kate's fears of legal repercussions.

Frustrated with the way Matt and Alejandro work, Reggie and Kate visit a bar for drinks. Reggie introduces Kate to one of his buddies, a local cop named Ted (Jon Bernthal). After a night of drinking and dancing, Ted and Kate end up back at her apartment, where she discovers a rubber wristband in his possession—the same type used to bundle Díaz's laundered money. Sensing that she knows he is corrupt, Ted struggles to subdue her and tries to strangle her. She is saved by Alejandro who has kept a close eye on her since she exposed herself at the bank, knowing the cartel would send someone after her. After Alejandro and Matt threaten the lives of Ted and his family, he reveals the names of other local corrupt cops working for Díaz.

The next morning, Matt and his team prepare to follow Díaz, who has been called back to Alarcón. Kate protests that the FBI does not have jurisdiction in Mexico and learns that she and Reggie are no longer needed; the FBI agents were attached to the team purely to give the CIA the legal ability to operate within US borders. Reggie tells Kate they should leave the operation, as they were being used from the beginning, but Kate wishes to see things through to the end. Their raid on the tunnel serves as a distraction so that Alejandro can sneak through to the Mexican side. Once there, he kidnaps one of Díaz's mules, a corrupt Mexican police officer named Silvio (Maximiliano Hernández). Kate follows and attempts to arrest Alejandro, who shoots her in her bulletproof vest and tells her to return to the United States. Threatening Silvio at gunpoint, Alejandro forces him to pursue Díaz in his Mexican police car. Meanwhile, Kate demands answers from Matt, who explains that their goal is to bring about some semblance of order by restoring power to the Colombian Medellín Cartel. Kate asks if Alejandro works for Medellín and Matt states that he works for anyone who can help him avenge his murdered wife and daughter.

Alejandro, with Silvio driving, catches up with and stops Díaz's Mercedes, after which Alejandro kills Silvio and wounds Díaz. Díaz then drives Alejandro to Alarcón's estate, where Alejandro kills Díaz and Alarcón's guards before finding Alarcón eating dinner with his wife and two sons. Alarcón says that what happened to Alejandro's family was not personal. Alejandro explains that it was personal to him, and then kills Alarcón's family in front of him before killing Alarcón. The next morning, Alejandro sneaks into Kate's apartment and gives her a waiver to sign, stating that everything they did together was "by the book." Kate eventually relents after Alejandro puts a gun to her head. Alejandro tells Kate she should find a small town that still obeys the rule of law because she is "not a wolf," and her town has become a "land of wolves." After he leaves, Kate goes to her balcony, points her gun at him and hesitates. He turns around, but then continues to walk when she does not shoot. Sometime later at a football field in Mexico, Silvio's widow watches her son's soccer game, which is briefly interrupted by gunfire in the distance. Despite this, the soccer game continues on as normal.

Cast

Themes and analysis

According to the director Denis Villeneuve, the movie was conceived at the height of the violence in Juárez in 2010.[10] According to Sebastian Rotella, Sicario examined many aspects of the war on drugs engaged by United States against, most generally, drug cartels in Mexico, and Central, and South America.[11] Taking a perspective as an American,[clarification needed] he notes that the illegal drug trafficking situation in Mexico has remained largely stagnant in the two decades prior to the film's release, and that the film asserts that the American War on Drugs is "turning us into the very monsters we are trying to defeat."[11] Rotella asserts that progress has been made in Mexico, and expresses qualms over the depiction of the movie's "black ops campaign", relative to his experience that most U.S. operations resulted in the arrest and prosecution of drug lords.[11]

Production

In December 2013, it was announced that Denis Villeneuve would direct a Mexican border drama, Sicario[citation needed] (the Spanish word for 'hitman'), as scripted by Taylor Sheridan.[12] Black Label Media financed and co-produced with Thunder Road Pictures.[13] Basil Iwanyk produced the film along with Molly Smith, Trent Luckinbill, and Thad Luckinbill.[13]

Emily Blunt became involved with the film in April 2014,[14][better source needed][5] shortly followed by Benicio del Toro.[5] Jon Bernthal and Josh Brolin joined the film in May, and cinematographer Roger Deakins was also hired.[15][6][16] Daniel Kaluuya, Maximiliano Hernández, and Jeffrey Donovan were then cast,[7][8][9] and Jóhann Jóhannsson was hired to compose the music for the film in August 2014.[17]

Principal photography began on June 30, 2014 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[18][19]

Release

In May 2014, Lionsgate acquired the U.S. rights to the film, while Lionsgate International will handle the foreign sales.[20] On February 23, 2015, Lionsgate set the film for a limited release in the United States on September 18, 2015 and a wide release on October 2, 2015.[21] The film had its world premiere at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival on May 19, 2015.[22][23] It was then selected to be shown in the Special Presentations section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2015.[24][25]

Reception

Box office

Sicario has grossed $46.8 million in North America and $33.7 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $80.5 million, against a budget of $30 million.[3] In the opening weekend of its wide release, the film was projected to earn $8–10 million.[citation needed] On its first day, it grossed $4.3 million, coming in third behind The Martian and Hotel Transylvania 2; In its opening weekend, it grossed $12.1 million, exceeding expectations and but again substantially trailing The Martian and Hotel Transylvania 2.[26]

Critical response

Sicario has been acclaimed by critics and the performances of Blunt and del Toro were praised.[27] On the review aggregator website, Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 93%, based on 214 reviews, with an average rating of 8/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Led by outstanding work from Emily Blunt and Benicio del Toro, Sicario is a taut, tightly wound thriller with much more on its mind than attention-getting set pieces."[28] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 81 out of 100, based on 41 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[29] On CinemaScore, audiences gave the film an average grade of "A-" on an A+ to F scale.[26]

Richard Roeper gave the film an A, calling it one of the year's best, and applauded del Toro's performance, saying, "...then there's del Toro, who lurks about the fringes of the action for most of the story, and then springs into action in a handful of scenes in a variety of ways that will leave you shaken — and grateful to have seen such beautifully dark work."[30] Likewise, Dan Jolin from Empire gave the film 5 stars, calling it "a beautifully murky, hard-edged thriller. Quite simply, one of the best films of the year."[31]

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian praised the acting of Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro, and Josh Brolin. He stated that although her character Kate Macer was implausible, Emily Blunt "brazens out any possible absurdity with great acting focus and front".[32] Chris Ryan of Grantland compared Sicario to the film Apocalypse Now directed by Francis Ford Coppola, noting the similarity of the visuals in respect to the narrative of the two films. He also stated that the characters Alejandro Gillick and Matt Graver in Sicario resemble those of Colonel Kurtz and William Kilgore, respectively in Apocalypse Now.[33]

Responses regarding realism

From Juáritos

Officials of Ciudad Juárez criticized the depiction of that city, El Paso's cross-border twin, expressing their view that Sicario portrayed their city in a bad light,[citation needed] for instance in its sequences depicting nighttime firefights in the city, and tortured bodies of dead hanging from downtown viaducts.[citation needed] The officials expressed their belief that the intensity of criminal activity in the city had considerably declined over previous periods, by the time the film was released.[11] (For instance, there were about 300 murders in 2015, down from the peak of more than 3,000 in 2010, and there have been reports that mass closure of businesses and the exodus of thousands of residents from the city have reversed.[34][better source needed] As of October 2015, no kidnappings had been reported in the city for 20 months.[10])[original research?]

Mayor Enrique Serrano Escobar urged citizens to boycott the movie and took out ads in American newspapers, including The New York Times, to express his objections to the movie's depiction of Juárez.[10] Serrano Escobar said the movie was "out of date" and that it was released "just as we in the city are turning in a different direction."[10] Residents, entrepreneurs, pastors and community organizers also expressed discontent with the city's portrayal, and a protest was staged at the Juárez-El Paso bridge with residents holding placards that declared their love for the city.[10]

From experienced outside observers

Sebastian Rotella, an award-winning reporter and author of Twilight on the Line: Underworlds and Politics at the Mexican Border (1998), writing for ProPublica, noted several factual shortcomings, despite praising the acting of Blunt, del Toro, and Brolin and finding the film "artful and thought-provoking" and to have "impeccably realistic moments."[11] First, he noted that Sicario's portrayal of the federal agents' breaches of rules and aggression to be far more gratuitous than anything he witnessed in his reporting. Second, he noted the dearth of Hispanic law enforcement agents in the film, relative to real situations of the sort portrayed. Finally, Rotella noted that the film focused almost exclusively on an American point of view regarding the War on Drugs.[11]
