What I thought about this movie

Sicario was a movie I really liked the feel of...my favorite movies come from the Golden Hollywood era ie not later than early 1960s, before the liberal revolution came on in earnest, and from the 70s and 80s still. Having said that I will watch any movie as long as its not 100% leftist bullcrap.

Movies with somewhat real-life themes, with "hard" characters, some resemblance to patriotism or traditional values, combat-oriented men is what I enjoy the most.

Sicario is without a doubt a modern movie. The undercurrent is about relativism in how we deal with threats to civilization, etc.

Emily Blunt was waved around in our faces, as the "main character" and such. The "empowered female" who by the magic of Hollywood, again for the benefit of the liberal mainstream, is shoved into roles women should not be remotely involved in and aren't remotely capable at.

Except it wasn't THAT bad. Yes, they typecast the role into the movie, but the saving grace was that her character was "in over her head." Stunned, used in the environment, and by the bullshitty 21st century movie standards for women, somewhat incapable. For me that isn't good enough, but it was a welcome breath of air after the usual.

Sicario, for me at least, isn't about that character at all, but about el Sicario, (hitman or assassin for hire), played by great actor Benicio del Toro. Sicario isn't about so-called "morals" or about the US supposedly interfering for own gain in a lowdown way. Sicario is about capable men fighting a war on evil, and about a man doing his duty and killing the drug lord who had gone after his women & children, & many others (in that awesome dinner scene).

In THAT way, Sicario is great.

A dark theme, with plenty of tension, but not a dark screen which really pisses me off (25+ minutes of seeing nothing but black shapes and shadows makes me dislike movies). The color range and cinematography were great.
