Hot trailers: Sicario

Wow, what happened to Emily Blunt? After playing an alien-killing soldier killing aliens in Edge Of Tomorrow (2014), she is now an action hero. Forget The Devil Wears Prada. This Lady Wears Armour as she suits up as a FBI Swat team agent-turned-drug lord hunter here, hanging with un-glam manly types such as Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin.

I had always thought Blunt would snag all the schoolteacher roles. Well, here, she is riding nervously into the lawless badlands of Mexico in some kind of modern-day vehicular posse with very wary eyes which looks like US soldiers going into war-torn Iraq. The journey across the checkpoint into Mexico alone looks terrifically tense. This is what the axed TV series, The Bridge, wanted to be if it had more money.
