acting was great and some of the characters we're great.
but i think some of the characters we're pretty shallow.
visually it looks great but then the story is not my cup and tea.
i think its fun to geuss whats gonna be revealed but it feels like the weight of that is not felt, at least for me.

An idealistic FBI agent is enlisted by a government task force to aid in the escalating war against drugs at the border area between the U.S. and Mexico.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut descent into moral ambiguity where an idealistic FBI agent discovers the machinery of border politics operates in shades of grey far darker than she anticipated. Sicario trades conventional heroism for the creeping realization that the lines between sides blur when survival becomes the only certainty.
