Sicario (2015) | Ep. 58 - Part 1
The border has its own rules, and Kate Macer is about to learn them. Luke, Westy, and Matt begin the story of Denis Villeneuve's tense, morally murky thriller about the war on drugs.
In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Denis Villeneuve, the cast, and the second act — including Emily Blunt's way into a man's world, Benicio del Toro's enigmatic operative, and the dread Villeneuve cranks tighter with every scene.
Part 2, covering the crew, the finale, reception, and the film's legacy, is available now.
