Sicario (2015) ****

Denis Villeneuve's Sicario (2015) is a politically-charged crime drama that manages to tackle complex issues with little in the way of conventional action, character background or development, and yet never feels lacking, thanks to Taylor Sheridan's taut script. The blurred allegiances and dark subject matter ring true to Villeneuve's style, Roger Deakins' cinematography is marvelous, and the performances are all grounded in reality.
