"Director Denis Villeneuve has now proven himself to be one of the strongest directors in the field right now." - Jordan Hoffman, Mashable

From director Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Incendies) comes an explosive crime thriller about the war on drugs. In Spanish, SICARIO means 'hitman'. In the lawless border area stretching between the U.S. and Mexico, just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas, FBI agent Kate Macy (Emily Blunt) is on the search for a vicious drug lord. Drawn in by a CIA official (Josh Brolin) and with a government assassin on hand (Benicio Del Toro), Kate finds herself an instrumental part of a plot to bring down their dangerous target by any means necessary, forcing Kate to question everything that she believes in order to survive.

In 1987, five young men, using brutally honest rhymes and hardcore beats, put their frustration and anger about life in the most dangerous place in America into the most powerful weapon they had: their music. Taking us back to where it all began, Straight Outta Compton tells the true story of how these cultural rebels—armed only with their lyrics, swagger, bravado and raw talent—stood up to the authorities that meant to keep them down and formed the world’s most dangerous group, N.W.A. And as they spoke the truth that no one had before and exposed life in the hood, their voice ignited a social revolution that is still reverberating today.
