Sicario isn't afraid to show the dark reality of the new war on drugs. This is the world of the cartels where brutal executions are the norm and the only way to combat these men is to cross the line and be as brutal as the men you are facing. It also means most of the characters in the film are dubious at best, and the truly good guys come across as too weak to face the harsh reality of the situation. It's bleak but effective and I have no doubt closer to the truth than I want to imagine.
