What to Know

Critics Consensus

Led by outstanding work from Emily Blunt and Benicio del Toro, Sicario is a taut, tightly wound thriller with much more on its mind than attention-getting set pieces.

Jason Bailey Flavorwire It's a thoughtful film, but also a visceral and affecting one, capturing the intensity of these raids and encounters. May 3, 2016 Full Review Adam Nayman Reverse Shot Sicario is as brilliantly made as Prisoners, perhaps even more so. Dec 7, 2015 Full Review

Nick R Filled with excellent performances and direction. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review Anya S Incredibly intense, and also sad. While Alejandro was a riveting character, Blunt's Kate seemed too much a symbolic trope as the lone, naiive physically slight female providing the moral compass of the events. A worthy watch, though. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review
