Sicario

Bricked-up bodies and exploding bombs – it’s all in a day’s work for the tough FBI agent Kate Macer and the S.W.A.T. team she is part of. A merciless drug war has raged for years in the border region between Mexico and the USA. And when scheming special agent Matt Graver offers her a special unit post, Macer sees it as a chance to impose law and order at the frontline. But her first task in the dangerous border region spirals out of control. Led by the inscrutable Alejandro, a former lawyer from Columbia, the special unit appears to carry out an agenda all of its own, beyond the reaches of the law. SICARIO is an extraordinary high-tension thriller. Using amazing point-of-view shots, director of photography Roger Deakens manages to catapult us into the very centre of events.
