re: Sicario

There is nothing ground breaking about the screenplay.

This is an example of a decent/solid story taken to another level due to direction, cinematography, acting, and score.

I mean, the whole scene of their incursion into Juarez is a great example. It was incredible for me

one critic called it, "an arthouse popcorn film"

I agree. Same source material with a Michael Bay or another director and it's just an average cartel flick.

I was completely immersed and hanging on every word. I actually had to pee when I sat down in my seat but I sat through the whole movie. it was that good
