Sicario

★★★★½ Liked

true definition of a slow burn. it really takes its time to set the stage, building tension piece by piece carefully. it’s the kind of film that shows you how to do suspense properly, grounded in realism, without ever becoming dull.

it’s only two hours, but feels way more satisfying than most action filled movies today. you’d think the third act would go full spectacle, but it doesn’t, it chooses to resolve things through quick, powerful moments with sharp dialogue. it’s subtle, but it hits hard..and that kind of restraint actually makes it stand out even more.
