Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Blistering performances.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This movie is just down right boring. I am not sure how it has so many good reviews. Emily Blunt's character is just downright whiny & annoying. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen, but it just flops. Not going to be lining up for the sequel.

The action set pieces are terrific, there is heavy realism, the morality aspect binds the entire movie together. Great performances from all actors.

Powerful presentation of the reality of life in the hellhole of Juarez, of the struggle to escape into the US, of the ruthlessness of all sides of the cartel war, and US agency efforts to fight back; but the story is essentially killed by the absurd portrayal of FBI agents who are supposed to be 'idealistic' but come across as zombie wimps. And the whole premise of inserting FBI agents into a cross-border CIA operation just to give authority for stateside operations, and refusing to tell them what they are doing, is absurd, as is the FBI agents whining about questionable procedures. Blunt's character is just annoying in her timidity, particularly when she is portrayed in the first scenes as a kick-butt, door smashing federal cop. Here is where the writing is horrible - FBI / CIA chief (it isn't clear) tells Blunt's character that she is volunteering for a joint agency operation, authorized by the President (or, an 'elected official'), and doesn't tell her the nature of the operation? And then she and her silent FBI partner spend the rest of the movie whining about the questionable nature of the operation. This would have been a phenomenal movie if the conflict with the timid FBI agents had been left out. I'm hoping that Sicario 2 will delete the wimpy sideshow, and just show the reality of the cartel war.

This is an extremely boring movie. All the characters are 2 dimensional, and unlikeable. What a waste.
