Sicario

Sicario (2015) is a crime thriller from Denis Villeneuve that you can watch online on iFILM. Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin carry a story set along the U.S.-Mexico border, a stretch of desert where the rules of law stopped applying long ago.

FBI agent Kate Macer volunteers for an inter-agency task force that promises to finally hit a cartel where it hurts. The operation is run by the loose, sandal-wearing Matt Graver, shadowed by a silent consultant with no name and no past. Kate clings to warrants and procedure, then slowly grasps the truth: she wasn't brought in to fight, but to give the mission legal cover. The deeper it goes, the thinner the line between the people on her side and the ones she's chasing.

Cinematographer Roger Deakins shoots a tunnel raid in infrared and freeway convoys in dead silence until the dread sits on your chest; Johann Johannsson supplies the low, throbbing score. The film earned three Academy Award nominations and later spawned a sequel. Stream Sicario (2015) online on iFILM.
