Sicario is one of my favorite films of the last decade and I was reading some threads on Twitter where people are saying it's a right wing propaganda movie. Do people not get the entire point of the movie is that the CIA is corrupt and Alejandro is a monster the entire time?

I was reading these threads about the movie being a right-wing nihilistic movie and I thought I was going crazy. Emily Blunt's character literally exists to give the movie a moral barometer. She's saying and observing what the audience wants to say and observe. The movie shows that there is no solution to the cartel situation, but doing things off the books and against protocol to " clean up" the streets is also fucked in many ways. I think anyone thinking they glorify the CIA's handling of everything or Bencio Del Toro's character simply did not pay attention to the movie or looked at the movie on the surface level.
