It's a thoughtful film, but also a visceral and affecting one, capturing the intensity of these raids and encounters.

Sicario is as brilliantly made as Prisoners, perhaps even more so.

Gorgeously made, with a set piece taking place in tunnels underneath the border that conveys chaos without ever looking incoherent and a throbbing Jóhann Jóhannsson score that's the sound of very bad things on the horizon.

'Sicario' commits cinematic terrorism against our desire for narrative order. It's time to welcome Villeneuve to the Masters circle.
