There is a fight that has everyone in this continent and overseas checking the news everyday and has brought attention of militia, governments and ordinary people from all the world wondering what moment did everything go out of control. That moment when drugs and cartels where only legends at the south of America. A moment when drugs where inaccessible, an underworld temptation that was more like a treat than a regular in our lives. A time when drug dealers where junk addicts seeking for their own refill not a life style and a powerful business capable of rule over politicians and cops. That time has arrived and now we all are trapped in this era where drugs are invading homes of all America and cartels are ruling the market with power enough to control markets and destiny of countries. When and how this happen? That's the real question.
All of those who had ever consumed a drug at anytime in their life might be part responsible of this boom of the cartels as no power comes by itself. WE should remind that someone introduce it to our lives and as any cell alive need to breath and water to reproduce. Same happens out there. We made it easy to bring it at the our doors. not long time ago, this was a front page news from countries like Colombia, best known for their own production of drugs and narcotics that even expanding and merchandising them, was far and out of sight. Then things change at home and all chaos became under control. From the sudden, a new one exploded just in our faces. A new drug era raised in the corner of a country like Mexico corrupt enough and economically unstable to provide the perfect circumstances to them for a new start and with the perfect location as the back yard of one of the main consumer, was just like pieces setting perfectly.
Now after years of war from governments and special forces to finish it and control the market, all others who have witnessed this battle had suffered the consequences with losses of family, friends and cities that had came under the new century war. But how much do we know about it. What's really happening behind the curtain and what we don't see once change the tv channel? Are we all conscious about the impact of this and how big of an issue this has turned into? how much is in our hands and how far are we involved or we can still pretend to not notice it and be ignorants trying to continue our lives as if nothing will ever happen to us, leaving disaster for those living in war land when actually we might be already there.
This is the story of "Sicario" (2015), a terrific thriller that serves to tell the story of a tough FBI agent that proves ben capable to be the new addition to a new force aligned to find one of the heads of the most wanted cartels in Mexico. She is willing to fight and search for this people no matter what, until she realizes that she knows nothing about them and herself. A fight like this calls for wolves, no room for sheep. Morals will shade in front of a threat that comes as a gift, a new opportunity that just will turn into disaster. That's what she will discover when she fights in the dark, knowing nothing about the real agenda of her new team leader and his crew, including Alejandro, a Colombian ex agent that might have his own agenda. Mention apart for an excellent cast where actress Emily Blunt, a personal favorite that keeps growing and choosing better project every time, brings a hell of a performance.
When time comes to fight and clues lead to one head to another trying to find the puppeteer, and break the business that has killed so many and destroyed families. But at this point of war, what do we really know about this business. How it operates, how to connect all the dots and figured the end and the beginning to make it stop or change it. As a nerve breaking film, we'll witness a glimpse of this fight, while we go through the motivations of all of those involved just to realize how things might seem different from one perspective to another. As many of other issues in all times is hard to define what was first, the chicken or the egg? who create who, did they infiltrate in our lives making us a customer or we and our seeking of new experiences and as an answer to deal with all our baggage and stress create them as an industry as a big as any legal one. Do we really need drugs in our lives? Or this is just a new excuse to create a new war that is happening at home? Is it all truth what are we watching in the news or is all part of the same show working as marketing for a business that no needs it but to hide the real power fight inside it.
That's the moment when our mind will open and we'll see the real agenda behind governments and agencies. There is no corruption if you actually one of the creators. How much did the government got involve in positioning cartels and how much of a war for power this also has turned. Everybody will want a piece of this cake as profitable as it is that would be stupid to think there is just one string pulling everything from behind. Other industries like the best known Colombian, the middle eastern, the russian, like old mafias are looking for a piece of this game just making it bigger and harder to identify and fight as overtime that a head is cut, a new one will arise and if one market comes down there will be other with different purpose and agenda will take over. The more everyone takes conscious of it the more we can do to fight it and while we can learn from stories like this that while make us feel and suffer, enjoy and learn, pointing the finger to criticize delicate topics, the more we can become stronger to avoid temptations and make changes in our society and rise our voice to all those who call themselves as savior while are just another wolf dresses up as sheep.
