Night of the Sicario

No pun intended - also not part of any Sicario franchise (that I am aware of). But if you do like some (or all) of the actors involved here, you may give the movie a break (or two) and actually enjoy watching this. There are things that seem quite improbable, but hey it is a movie after all, yes? So just take certain things with a grain of salt (like character turns and twists).

That all being said, the action is decent - at least that is how I perceived it. But it really is not that special either. You have to like lo budget thriller movies. And watch a lot of movies too - because if you only watch a couple of movies, I doubt you will like spending (wasting?) time on this one right here ... acting is ok, but also nothing that will sway you onto a more positive look at this.

First of all, the movie has nothing to do with the Sicario francize but it is definitely meant to capitalize on that. The acting is extremely poor - like high school level whereas the scenario is laughable and doesn't make much sense.

The only reason I start watching this movie is because sometimes a 4 star action movie can be digested. I had to recover my IMDB password just to leave this scenario and save a man or a girl from the worst movie I've seen in the last couple of years.

I am positive that the cast and technicians vote for this movie to bump it out from a score of maximum 2 stars. And yeah, there is that, the main actress Natasha Henstridge gain considerable weight. Good for her or whatever, it is just shocking to see a model actress gaining 100+ pounds.

This might be the worst movie i've ever watched in my life. Props to the director for making the trailer look appealing, because the movie itself is horrible. Awful acting, terrible storyline, and just an overall worthless movie. Sad because it had so much potential. Don't waste your time watching this.

If you're looking for some real action movie to watch, please stay away from this. 30 minutes into the movie, I could tell it wasn't going to be great. Terrible script, terrible acting, terrible action!!

When I sat down here late in 2022 to watch the 2021 action thriller "Blindsided" (aka "Night of the Sicario"), it was doing so without ever having heard about the movie. I happened to stumble upon it by random chance, and seeing that the movie was starring Natasha Henstridge and Costas Mandylor, then I opted to give director Joth Riggs's movie a chance.

The storyline in "Blindsided", as written by Ernesto Melara and Matthew Eason, is pretty straight forward. "Blindsided" is a watchable, but somewhat mediocre action thriller. The contents of the storyline just wasn't all that impressive or riveting. Sure, "Blindsided" can be watched, but there are far better action thriller readily available out there.

The acting in the movie was adequate, but you're not in for anything overly memorable. It was a shame that Costas Mandylor was not in the movie for a long time, because he could have spruced up the narrative of the movie quite a bit.

I sat through "Blindsided" in all of its 82 minutes, and I was mildly entertained. This is not a movie that I would be quick to recommend for fans of the action thriller genre. Nor is it a movie that I will return to watch a second time.

My rating of "Blindsided" lands on a four out of ten stars.
