WhatCulture Says: "With Sicario Denis Villeneuve turns his eye to border disputes and drug cartels, honing in ultimately on a sense of futility. Its a film thats at once tense and enlightening, without going preachy or losing sight of entertainment. He is attached to the seemingly inevitable Blade Runner sequel. Only a real sadist would wish that film into existence, but, based on Sicario, we can at the very least expect some expansive visuals and a story that doesnt spoon feed, which is a good start."
