My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Sicario (2016)

Maybe it’s the setting or the drug cartel topic but I just found this drama to be ho-hum.  Emily Blunt and Benicio del Toro do give excellent performances that help keep the film from going off the rails but if it weren’t for Roger Deakins’ beautiful cinematography I’d probably would have dismissed this as just an average film.  Direct Denis Vileneuve is a fine director; I just wish he’d have had a plot worthy of his talent.  Grade: B
