Sicario

Another cop fable with lots of morally ambiguous characters. Cops in bed with criminals and cops breaking the law, but only to cut off the head of the snake. Lots of law enforcement clichés. It’s well-shot, and there are several really exciting sequences. Emily Blunt is like a new action hero, bringing a fully-formed character to the table; confused by the grey areas she’s been pulled into. Unfortunately, the story steers away from her for a while, and there’s a noticeable shift of who is the protagonist and what is the tone. It’s worth seeing for Blunt and the photography, but there’s no real resolution at the end, which is like being in the shower and running out of hot water, but still being covered in shampoo.
