Sicario's reviews
Media reviews
Rolling Stone
"'A scenario for boiling action (...) However, it is the expressive face Blunt in which' Sicario 'writes his darkest poetry. Prepare to be bewitched for awhile."
Chicago Sun-Times
"An extreme, brutal, complex and sometimes history, sickeningly violent, one of the best movies about the domain of drugs in our culture since the 'Traffic' by Soderbergh".
New York Post
"Emily Blunt's performance is worthy an Oscar (...) 'Sicario' is incredibly intriguing, well-designed action-packed and full of surprises winding. Brolin and del Toro are also spectacular".
Variety
"A strong and intense thriller about the drug, which combines action and suspense expert with another awkward questions about the emotional consequences of violence."
Cinemanía
"Denis Villeneuve has confirmed that he has holy hand to create tension and portraying dark sides."
El País
"Villeneuve does not let you leave of his rough chronic. His visual style is impressive and intelligently manages the pace and suspense (...) sets the bar high in the endless stories about the drug war."
The Washington Post
"Is it a horror movie or a moral fable author? The reputation of the director Denis Villeneuve (...) suggests the latter. But the distinction does not make them less frightening nightmares?
The Hollywood Reporter
"A searing drama about drug and superbly crafted."
La Vanguardia
"A dark poem (...) much along the lines of 'Traffic' Soderbergh (...) violence is always present, is sensed rather than seen. What we see with passion, without distortions, is the victims of such violence."
La Razón
"There's something epic in its images (...) but cannot help feeling that we have seen this story millions of times, and from most interesting prospects."
El Mundo
"A thriller as atmospheric, murky and confusing as finally simple. (...) Not have been more to the story were not so darn stupid."
Fotogramas
"'Sicario' attempts to resemble the extraordinary 'The darkest night" (Kathryn Bigelow, 2012), and failed in the attempt. (...) The proven ability of Villeneuve to create tension here is reduced, except in certain (large ) times. "
