What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Theresa Smith  The drug wars: getting high on violence. | 15 |  |
| Cape Times Todd McCarthy There is plenty of action but this is not a film in which a few heavily armed gringos can just strut into Mexico and take care of the problem with a few blasts of their guns. | 20 | |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy The result is a drug war drama that often feels and plays out somewhat like a horror film, but one with an important -- if obvious -- message about the dangers and pitfalls of battling the devil, so to speak, while making deals with other demons to help in the combat. It's obviously not going to be for all viewers (particularly those simply wanting escapism entertainment), but this is undeniably a stellar piece of work. | 15 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Led by outstanding work from Emily Blunt and Benicio del Toro, Sicario is a taut, tightly wound thriller with much more on its mind than attention-getting set pieces. | 19 | |
