Wow!

Great movie. Action scenes had me on the edge of my seat.

Del Toro was awesome, Blunt was a c_nt.

Loved this movie. Del Toro and that score

It was also well received by critics, but it was somewhat polarizing on this board with a decent amount of people not liking it

The ending was straight savage. I don't even have any other words for it, just fricking savage.

I thought the ending would've been better (spoiler alert) as Del Toro was walking away and she was standing on the balcony if her place exploded. To me that would've shown just how rogue the unit/mission was- that they'd even kill total innocent American citizens just because that poor fool had caught a glimpse of what's behind the curtain.

I thought it was great.

It's been a while so I might not be super accurate on this, but didn't she wanna take down the cartel but she didn't wanna go to great lengths to do it. She's a pussy. Whatever.

Awesome movie.

Pretty much.

She was an idealistic FBI agent who didn't want to "get down in the mud" with the cartel animals.

I hope that's how were handling things in real life, because you can't play fair with those animals.

I believe her issue was with taking down one cartel to benefit another cartel. They weren't trying to stop the drug trade, merely to confine it to one organization.

Loved the chilling music while the convoy was racing through Juarez and as they were heading into the tunnel

border crossing scene is so badass.

Love this movie. They are making a sequel I believe? Maybe part of a trilogy?

But the same director isn't doing it

You could basically tell from the time that you meet dude that he had his own agenda. The sequel is going to revolve around him which is pretty cool. But yeah good movie.

It was good. You start to see all the wheels turning at the end and look back and see the motivations for certain things. The sad thing is this movie is probably very accurate.

I honestly can't get over how badass Sicario was. I hope the prequel/backstory follow up is good.

Yeah, those Delta Force guys didn't frick around.

Notice in the border crossing scene with the two cars full of cartel hit men, they "double tapped" every one of them.

Finally got around to watching this...probably the best movie I've seen the last couple of years.

You should move to a small town, somewhere the rule of law still exists. You will not survive here. You are not a wolf, and this is a land of wolves now.

Best movie of 2015. The convoy scene is sick.

Pound for pound, possibly the best actor around (since Seymour died).
