This week on Winners, Losers & Lovers, we’re taking on one of the greatest crime thrillers of the 21st century: Sicario.
Directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Taylor Sheridan, Sicario is a tense, morally complex descent into the brutal realities of the drug war. While the story is experienced through the eyes of Emily Blunt’s idealistic FBI agent, the film ultimately belongs to Benicio Del Toro, whose haunting, restrained performance as Alejandro is one of the finest of his career.
We discuss:
Why Benicio Del Toro steals every scene he’s in.
How Emily Blunt serves as the audience’s eyes into an increasingly murky world. Roger Deakins’ breathtaking cinematography. Jóhann Jóhannsson’s unforgettable, pulse-pounding score. The border crossing sequence, the tunnel raid, and that devastating finale. Why Sicario remains one of the defining thrillers of modern cinema.
This is a film that trusts its audience, refuses easy answers, and delivers tension from beginning to end.
Do you think Sicario is one of the best thrillers of the last 25 years? Let us know in the comments!
