However, it was nowhere near as big a problem as made out also was completely masked by how brilliant the rest of the film was , because it was clear that she was meant to be something of a fish out of water character and that was brought out very well, meaning that to me some of her actions made sense somewhat.
Everything about the film in general is brilliant and a tour-De-force of film-making, though it is understandable if it doesn't connect with all.
Best of all is the cinematography in close competition in that year's Oscar category with 'The Revenant, which was a deserved winner , with Roger Deakins demonstrating once again why he is one of the best contemporary cinematographers in the business with cinematography that's stunning and darkly gritty, also bringing out the visceral horror.
Denis Villeneuve's directing has a beautiful darkness but also a hard edge that is perfect for the story that 'Sicario' tries to tell.
The music score is haunting and pulse-pulsating, one can actually feel their heart beat with tension and anticipation. Can totally see why it was nominated for the Oscar and an easy second to Ennio Morricone's work for 'The Hateful Eight'. Can also see the acclaim for the sound editing, which added a huge amount to the film's authenticity, again up against tight competition in the category that year at the Oscars.
The script is tightly structured and rich in complexity, while the story doesn't need attention-grabbing set pieces to impress or make its point and has more than that on its mind. And all the better for it. It is heavily reliant on atmosphere, this is brutal, harrowing stuff that effectively shows the horrors of the situation and setting without overdoing or sugar-coating it, also showing respect to it.
It's wonderfully murky and dark, while also taut and kinetic in its energy despite the sometimes deliberate, but never dull, pacing. You couldn't have gotten better performances. The standout is Benicio Del Toro, with the most interesting character especially in the genuinely shocking final act and giving a magnificently shady performance that's chilling but also conflicted.
Emily Blunt conveys great strength and touching vulnerability, while Josh Brolin is tongue-in-cheek and charming with a touch of ambiguity. Daniel Kaluuya is sort of a moral compass character, something that Kaluuya is movingly sympathetic bringing out.
Overall, a masterpiece tour-De-force with only one minor and ignorable stumbling block. Despite the length of the film and the big speeches and the like, the story actually turns out to be very simplistic and little different from the story lines in an average low rent action flick.
Luckily you get veteran genre actors like Benicio Del Toro to balance things out a bit. Some of the establishing shots, like of the convoy of soldiers riding through the streets of Mexico, are quite breathtaking, and the film has an excellent soundtrack that adds plenty of suspense to the proceedings. Overall, I did find it all a little hollow though. It is only visible to you.
