076 – Sicario

Rating: 5/10

In Chandler, Arizona, FBI agents Kate Macer and Reggie Wayne lead a raid on a suspected Mexican cartel safe house, where they discover dozens of decaying corpses and a booby trap which kills two police officers. Following the raid, Kate’s boss recommends her for a Department of Justice and Department of Defense joint task force, overseen by Matt Graver and the secretive Alejandro Gillick, to apprehend Sonora Cartel lieutenant Manuel Díaz. Assured that the task force will bring Díaz and those responsible for the safe-house incident to justice, Kate joins the operation.

The team, which includes SFOD-D operators, travels to Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, in order to extradite Díaz’s brother and henchman Guillermo Díaz (Edgar Arreola). On the return back to the U.S., they engage in a firefight with a group of cartel gunmen at the public border checkpoint, which causes eight of the gunmen to be killed in the firefight, shocking Kate. Kate openly questions the operational tactics of the group, but Matt promises her that he permitted her to participate in the operation because he was fully well aware that her partner was never able to conform to the negative occupational stress of the operation. Alejandro tortures Guillermo on American soil and learns that the cartel uses a tunnel to smuggle drugs into the U.S. (Source: wikipedia.org)
