"Longer term readers will attest to my recent obsessional odyssey for the films directed by Canadian filmmaker Denis Villeneuve and following a recent re-watch of this gem, my personal collection is now complete. I originally watched this on immediate DVD release some six years ago and whilst thoroughly enjoying it, moved along with my voracious appetite for well crafted films. In more recent times, I’ve watched, enjoyed and been cautiously optimistic for part two of Dune, loved re-watching Enemy, believed Prisoners to be an altogether different film from the one I recently re-watched and added these written thoughts and musings to my cinema going experiences of 2016 and 2017 when my young son and I both watched and greatly appreciated Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 on the big screen.

Thus, in a roundabout way, re-watching Sicario recently once more brought me full circle in completion of a decade of majestic films helmed by Denis Villeneuve and six of the very best you could wish to see. With Dune Part Two eagerly awaited for a November worldwide release and Rendezvous with Rama and Cleopatra in either development or pre-production, I may well have a continuing odyssey for some time to come".

The above is an opening extract from my spoiler free film review of "Sicario" I originally penned and published to my Medium blog site on 5th February 2023 and which can be read in full via the handy link below:
