Great price for a recent, well-reviewed action thriller.

It's got good reviews because it's a cut above the usual Hollywood dross. You have to think to appreciate it, it's morally ambiguous, does not have a happy ending, and is quite dark. If you enjoy it I suggest checking out the director's previous which is Prisoners. A better film than Sicario imo - even darker, even more morally ambiguous. And currently only £2.96 new (DVD) or £3.33 (Blu-ray used) on Amazon.

I know the reviews for this film have been great and I know that lots of critics said it's a great film.... However, I have pretty low standards for films and this was far far far below even that. It's the first film I've seen in a long time that was so terrible it actually made me angry. A few weeks after I saw it, a guy came into work visibly agitated saying he saw this film the night before and had never been more wound up by its terribleness adn had made the leap to signing up with IMDB jus tto give a zero rating to counter all the 10s it's got. It's so bad it's difficult to put your finger on it but we even loved that Benito guy and still couldn't redeem it.
I'm sure this is a good price but please consider yourself warned. sooo baddddd.

I have to agree, I don't know how it's gotten such great reviews.

Whilst some aspects are bit annoying like the naivety at times of Emily Blunt's character, I enjoyed the film and rate it as good. However I am curious as to why you rate as bad.

Thanks for recommending "Prisoners". Watched last night.

Sicario's not only a great, cerebral, edgy suspense/action thriller, it's the first of a trilogy.

I thought Sicario was superb but I see why some people disliked it. Emily Blunt isn't really the main character by the end ad it becomes about Del Toro. Like the other guy said Prisoners is well worth a watch, tough film to get through but utterly superb in every way and another showcase for the amazing Roger Deakins.

So my Prime day £7.49 purchase was a waste of 50p!
