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.

To be honest the movie starts off real good. Moody and interesting, with good acting and directing.

But then somewhere around the half way mark it takes a really bad turn. And somehow the same actors who were doing a real good job acting, suddenly become really bad actors.

And the script gets stoopid.

Too bad. Could have been a really entertaining movie.

Cheap actors, boring dialogs, zero talent, The main actor can even talk let alone act.

They literally wasted good source material on this movie and I don't even know who green lighted the production of this movie.
