It has been almost a decade since Dune director Denis Villeneuve helmed his epic action thriller Sicario, alongside Oscar-winning cinematographer Roger Deakins.
Penned by Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, the film follows FBI agents enlisted to take down a powerful Mexican drug cartel.
The film’s all-star cast includes Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro, Josh Brolin, Jon Bernthal and Daniel Kaluuya.
The synopsis reads: “FBI special agents Kate Macer and Reggie Wayne lead a raid on a drug cartel safe house in Chandler, Arizona, where two police officers are killed.
“Subsequently recruited to a joint task force overseen by CIA officer Matt Graver and a secretive ex-prosecutor Alejandro Gillick to flush out and apprehend a cartel drug lord, Kate is soon out of her depth in the murky world of a lawless borderland.”
Sicario has 92 per cent positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and was nominated for three Oscars.
A sequel called Sicario: Day of the Soldado followed in 2018 and a third movie called Sicario: Capos is in development.
Sicario is now streaming on BBC iPlayer for the next six months.
