After watching Sicario, I have to say that the movie is pretty great. This movie was made by Denis Villeneuve and he has been making some great films as of late. I think the best way to describe this movie is a better version of "Zero Dark Thirty". If you keep that movie in mind, you'll notice that both of these movies hit the same sort of narrative beats. However, in my opinion, not only is this film much more intense but it is also much better executed. Denis is once again teamed up with famed cinematographer Roger Deakins, and boy do these guys ever know what they're doing. The visual choices near the end of the movie were absolutely phenomenal. These two do well to sure make this movie gets better and better as it goes on. It is very well acted and the characters here are well-defined and interesting. The shining light in this movie are its action scenes where not only is tension built up extremely well, but it also pushes boundaries that you don't often see pushed in films. This film aims to be disturbing and messed up at points and I believe it did its job very well. Now unfortunately, there was one shot which really did bother me, there is a scene where a character is getting strangled and it is very apparent that the victim was receiving no force at all from the attacker. It was the one scene that really took me out of the movies universe. Anyways, besides a few narrative weakness, I would definitely recommend this movie. It might bump up to an 8 next time I see it, but for now I'll give it a 7 out of 10.

Spot on comparing to Zero Dark Thirty, the music and tone was exactly like that and action was muted just like that movie. Very similar narrative tone and awesome insight.
