Critics Sentiment
Cartel hitmen ambush the team at El Paso border crossing
Kate and Reggie ordered to abandon lawsuit after bank raid
The film surges from its lowest point during the bureaucratic bank raid aftermath to the climactic tunnel raid and Alarcón massacre sequence.
Sicario maintains consistently high tension throughout, with reviewers particularly praising the action sequences and Del Toro's performance. The film builds from an already intense opening to peak moments during the border crossing and climactic revenge sequence, with only brief dips during slower character development sections.
