Sicario

                  Alright, before I begin my review, I will say right now that this film is gory. It's rated "R" for a pretty good reason. I would suggest your child being 14+ and that they would have seen some pretty bloody movies before with a lotta cussing. I mean, if you're okay with that, we can move on.

                  Emily Blunt plays the role of Kate Macy, an FBI Agent. She is stationed in Arizona, and finds a house that has corpses stored in its walls. This is where it's established that this is gonna be a pretty bloody movie. The body count adds up to 42 dead. These people were killed by a Mexican Cartel that has somehow gotten access into the U.S.
                   There has been increased Cartel activity going on for the past several months, and the U.S. government is looking into it. Matt Graver (Josh Brolin, Everest)is the government military official that is looking into it, and he wants Kate to join him in his war against the Mexican drug lords. Kate is in, because she wants to get at the man who killed those 42 people and stored them into the house walls.
                   But she has no idea what she is getting herself into. She thinks that these military operatives are going to go "by the book" per say, but these guys know the loopholes, and even push the boundaries a little bit. Matt is being led by Alejandro (Benicio del Toro, The Usual Suspects), who also wants to get at a Mexican drug lord. 
                   The team goes back and forth across the US-Mexico border to draw out the big target they want, Fausto Alarcon. They use Manuel Diaz, a smaller drug lord, to draw out Fausto. Eventually, the big idea for Alejandro is that he gets to kill Fausto, because Fausto killed his family. 
                   This is ultimately why the movie is called Sicario, or, Hitman. Alejandro is the Hitman, and he has been for the entire movie. 



Ratings: 

Family Friendliness- 4/10 Houses: This is not the ideal family movie, let's just put it like that. There is plenty of swearing to go around, and a whole ton of blood flying too.
Story-line- 9.5/10 Agents: This was really a phenomenal movie. I absolutely loved it, and it left me on the edge of my seat the entire time. If you like action and mystery with intense action, this film is for you.
Re-watch Probability- High aka 9/10: I can tell you right now, I am eager to see this movie again. It was just so well done, and it left me mind-blown kinda like Christopher Nolan's Inception. I am looking forward to owning it on DVD.
