Watched "Sicario" last night, damn was that a good movie

2 hrs long and it flew by (ever watch a movie, even a short one, and its SO dull it seems like its as long as a flight to Sydney, well this wasn't one of those films)..

Compelling story w/good performances (could see Del Torro get a Best Supporting Actor for this one), and no over the top action sequences or characters & cheesy, cliched lines....

For those of you who've seen it, this ending scene IMO is powerful as hell.... "You should move to a small town, where the rule of law still exists...You will not survive here..You are not a wolf, & this is the land of wolves now"..

I'm a big fan of Emily Blunt and her performance is top notch. Loved her in Edge of Darkness. (which was not seen by a large share of the populace even though it's in the top 10 of Films to see)

Yes, the ending was thoughtful and ..just double cool.

I totally agree that he should get an oscar for his performance. About the time that the movie came out there was some whispers on the internet that there might be a sequal staring Del Torro.

I went into it not knowing much about it and having seen the trailer maybe twice and enjoyed it immensely.

Del Toro was amazing, as usual; was the best thing about the movie.

I thought Emily Blunt was miscast.
