Night of the Sicario

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.

I agree with poor details being distracting. There were so many little things that just wouldn't happen the way they did, it was very poorly thought out and choreographed. Natasha does have potential, but with so much wrong with the movie and those over it, not much was believable. I had a bunch of points, but kept turning it off and going back to finish it to see if anything was redeeming, so I got mind numbed by it. I do remember this, though, the girl walks slowly around while killers are near, the killers walk slowly and just stop to relax, no one leaves the house with killers about, the girl & Natasha laugh and reminisce while killers are around.... I wanted to pull my hair out... stuff like this and bad gun scenes etc. Are all this has.

This wasn't a good movie. Points for trying to use the Sicario franchise name to promote the movie but definitely not a great movie. When a guy sees the ads you might think,"At the very least I can watch a smoking hot Natasha Henstridge for awhile." Um..........

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.

I took a chance on a newly released film called Night of the Sicario aka Blindsided. I would think it would be at least somewhat watchable because it s released by Paramount.

Its about a young Colombian girl (whos mother is going to testify against a cartel) takes refuge at a retirement home. Natasha Henstridge is the main caretaker there who tries to protect her. Bad guys with guns track her down and try to take her out but the old timers there try to go against them. Its a really dumb and dopey mix of dull action and boring drama. One scene I swear has one victim bleed bright purple blood! Its so bad Im surprised Bruce Willis did not play the cop.
