American Sicario

"American Sicario" is an action movie based on a true story. For all the fans of the "Sicario" movies with Benicio Del Toro, do not have your hopes high. This movie does not belong in the same category. Yes, you have plenty of action, swearing, and graphic scenes in this movie. Although it is based on a true story, there is no plot nor twist that you do not see coming from a mile away. The acting of Philippe A. Haddad (Erik Vasquez) is not bad. But the whole cast sucks. The longer down in the movie, the worse it gets. No kidding. And I am not even speaking about the plot holes. Even if you are a Danny Trejo fan, you will be disappointed. It is like he is doing this movie against his will. You are better of watching the trailer and skip the movie. Waste of time. Unless you are really bored, like I was....

Who voted !? Actor's relatives ??!! U really watched that ? If this is a 7.3 movie.... ok...nevermind. At the middle of the movie that cia girl agent says "hmmm...why a pretty rich boy like you choose this kind of life?" pretty indeed i'd say... and by the way, "sicario" is a soldier hired for his killing skills. That narco boss was the sicario ? Hehehe...poor guys...

Although based on a true story the plot is just flat and only shows the stupidity of the person the movie was based on. The only surprise within the movie is that a "boss" who made it to a level where he dealt with thee cartels would be this basic.

Acting is quite bad and the characters totally underdeveloped with no background story.

This could have been a decent film, the lead actor was miscast, he doesn't have much acting experience, and he was a bit wooden. The rest of the cast was okay, the Mexican cartel leaders are probably the best performances, but they couldn't save the film. The directing was poor, they overused the drone landscape footage, and they were just really out of their league. It felt like a really low budget production, and was not particularly entertaining.

Don't waste your time buddies. Go for a walk or anything else instead.

That's the worst acting I have ever seen. Waste of money making this movie unless the actors paid the director.
