Directed by Jose Novoa
Tired of his family's stifling poverty, a young boy
named Jairo gets involved with the world of crime when street kids coerce
him to take part in a robbery. He takes on a job as a hired assassin - a
Sicario - for a local drug lord. He becomes an expert killer, and soon
is immersed in a world where anyone can kill and die for money. However,
Jairo decides he's had enough: he quickly learns that there is no such thing
as an easy way out. Sicario is a heart-wrenching, award-winning story
of the day-to-day reality of urban street life in Colombia. Starring Gledys
Ibarra, Pedro Lander, and Laureano Olivarez. Spanish with English subtitles.
