The film “Night of the Sicario” is a gripping action thriller that could have been a more enjoyable experience if it didn’t succumb to certain clichés. The narrative provides a mix of suspense and emotional stakes with the inclusion of a faith element, which isn’t fully realized, leading to a somewhat disjointed viewing experience. However, it maintains enough suspense to keep viewers engaged, supported by solid performances from the cast, particularly Natasha Henstridge.
