"Sicario" is probably the best movie in 2015 that won't get an Oscar.

This is all my opinion, but what I saw (recently, late again) was a very linearly developed plot, in which the viewer doesn't know what was coming until near the end.

Tension throughout was kept taught; the finale' was actually final. Great acting from Josh Brolin as the asshole nondescript fed, Emily Blunt as the by-the-book clean company fed, and especially Benicio Del Toro as the mystery man tagging along with the activities. Del Toro has to be one of the greats at building cold tension in scenes and relationships. The guy can be chilling to the core.

Back in September, this was an easy call for some Oscars, but lots has happened since. Only 3 nominations regarding filming and sound, and I doubt any of those will produce an award. Too bad. This is a good one. You won't be taking popcorn breaks.
